Why do I need FlashGot?
Usually a download manager comes with a so called “browser plugin”, a little program that lets the browser tell the external download manager, that user has clicked on a downloadable link and it should take care of it. This is something, but former IE users are used to a more sophisticated form of browser integration, which never has been done in Mozilla/Firefox before FlashGot: with FlashGot you get a bunch of contextual menu items (namely “FlashGot Link”, “FlashGot Selection” and “FlashGot All”) that let you send to the download manager not only one single link, but even multiple links at once. Many people found this thing very useful. These are only the basic. You can discover FlashGot features here.
