This extension integrates the well-known DAP (SpeedBit's Download Accelerator Plus) download manager to your browsers at different levels.
DAP Features:
- Pause and Resume: Resume broken or interrupted downloads and resume all paused downloads at once
- Download Security: Know if the file you downloaded is safe before you open it!
- Mirror Sites Speed Boost: Search for the fastest download sources and switch to faster mirror sites while downloading
Usage:
- Simple use: right-click over a link, image, audio, or video element and select "Download with DAP" options.
- Advanced usage: You can get links from the current page or a selected area. You may also pass downloading jobs to the DAP manager by interrupting the built-in download manager. In case the download URL is not supplied directly by a website, this option is handy.
- You can enable and disable the interruption feature directly from the browser action button.
Notes:
- For the extension to work, you need to have Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) installed; http://www.speedbit.com/dap/
- For the extension to be able to start Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) and communicate with it, a small native client is required. This native client can be found at https://github.com/belaviyo/native-client/releases. You will get instructions on how to install this native client when the extension tries to communicate for the first time.
- Even without the native client, this extension works if you manually start DAP once. The extension uses the DAP's HTTP server to communicate with this download manager.
