a perfect example is present in the program Internet Download Accelerator

Thank you for the suggestion.

Then We have this columns in the FDM

name, status, speed, size, added

because we can't change the order?
name, size, status, added, speed (for example)
because we can't hide any of these? (added)
because we can't add someone else? (time)


What exactly do you mean?

@Clive Sorensson
Can I resize the window to 480 pixel x 330 pixel?
No I can't. I put the mouse in the angle of the FDM window and I can't resize to a smallest size.
Do you want a video?

see that:

but this possibility was present in the old version of FDM

(look how small this window is)

I really miss the nice little drop box thingy from 3.9.7
I am unsure what you called it but the little box thingie where you could drop multiple URL's and have the box anywhere on your desktop.

I also miss having a working firefox/waterfox extension. I really don't know if it works in 32 bit browsers now but it doesn't work in x64 browsers.

I really love FDM but can hardly use it any more. :(

I use FDM 6 daily with Firefox Nightly X64 builds - and I've been using FDM like this for a very long time. With a few exceptions, namely the FDM 5 builds that broke server time stamps, I've had very few issues with DLing files in Nightly x64. This goes back a few years now, so I'm not sure what is going on with your setup to prevent FDM working with Fx x64.

Hello,
1. Import what and export what?
2. I did not understand what u mean.
3. This feature will be added in the next update of FDM6.
4. This feature exists already.
5. I did not understand what u mean.


I'm not exactly sure what the original poster was referring to with respect to item #1, but it sounds very close to a feature I'd like to see.

I'm still using 3.9.7 only because I'm happy with what I know and works. (I didn't know what version I was using until I just checked a minute ago.)

However, I would like to export a list of the downloads as text, including maybe just the current selection. What I get now is just the download link(s). Fine, I understand that's what others want, but how about all of it? You know, like suitable for input to a database, or maybe some other form of processing that computers are notorious for?

All I really wanted was to be able to copy the text of the local file name for a particular download so I could go look for it in the file system. Of course you can't do that.
I know! I'll export a list! Oh, it only includes the URL...
Imagine the frustration of seeing text on a screen that would be very convenient to have a copy of, and you can't even export it to a file!

Exporting history was even more agonizing! Several items of data, in an HTML table no less, but not the local file name.

So, please add options that allow saving lists as tab delimited text, and allow selection of fields and their order. Or let me copy fields out of the list as text. Or both! :D

Do that, and I guarantee that I will upgrade! Thank you!

It's been a while since i tried FDM5 (i'm still using FDM3) and i uninstalled in a couple of minutes for a simple reason...i couldn't rearrange the download list. If you put a bunch of links there to download them decided that you want to download something first (or second or whatever) you couldn't you had to put up with whatever order you had copied the links...that terrible.

I don't know if you guys have already changed that or not, but for me this is a deal breaker.

You can rearrange downloads manually in FDM 5/6. What kinds of rearrangement do you need?

Hello, in FDM6 you can use downloads priorities for this. I.e. you can set High priority to some group of downloads thus it will be downloaded first.

Cover of vedio downloaded simultaneously: get the cover of the vedio for youtube----The cover shows in the downloading list but we can't find it in the download loaction, so if the cover picture can be downloaded with the vedio together it will be so useful! Thank you!
