It's nice to see a finished piece of software.
Meanwhile, Youtube-DL is continuously being updated, because they have to work around obstacles raised by Google to prevent automatic downloading.
Wow. Didn't expect this :) I was the author of this tiny extension back in the days (extension #201, I still remember it) together with a friend who recently passed away, Federico Parodi. We hacked the first version when we still didn't know much about JS, but it immediately exploded (500k daily users). Donations were super helpful at that time, being 22 years old with a newborn. After a couple of years (iirc) Nils M…

Woah, this gives me flashbacks. I remember using this to download files from shady websites on the school computers in the Firefox 3.5 era.

If I find a gallery of images that I like to keep. I can use gallery-dl for that and use gallery-dl "instagram.com/boburnham" in the command line and it will crawl and download the images within the gallery.

It's not just a download manager! Imagine a page with 50 links, that you each have to download by hand? Nope! Just DTA and a filter to choose what you want. Photo gallery? Same!
