Malcolm Morris (ID: 000000e6e4767aa6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 The downloader works well for me - but the user interface makes me cringe each time I open it. * The fast moving pink scrolling for completed torrents is completely unnecessary * Would be nice to have a "compact mode" to show more torrents instead of needing to scroll * It can show All, Active, Finished etc. - but not the most important filter: "Downloading". Why do i need to scroll through 50 completed torrents to find the 1 or 2 that are still downloading? But like I said - it does its job of downloading to the synology well , so Thanks to the developer. :)

ruff pl (ID: 000000088f2c62f2) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 It is good until time when it can not connect. Shows that login was succesfull, but when You try to add magnet link (logged as admin) You get error "Tasks refresh failed The logged in session does not have permission". When You try to add custom download task nothing happens and it can not even open any synology folder

Michał L (ID: 000000cd68d5f205) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 A very big problem with the cost of standing from a different account than the administrator, which is not the best idea. Logs out of DSM if you want to log in to a different account, reports a problem with access to save locations. There are also logouts. The idea, execution and possibilities for 5 stars, but the above prevent the comfortable use of the add-on. Please kindly fix it.

Michał Kucharz (ID: 0000004a7ad24b7f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/02/2023 quite good, but there doesnt seem to be an option to use magnets normally (locally) after installing the extension, only option to send magnet to nas appears which is pretty annoying to have to disable extension for that every time also there are some problems with logging in, it doesnt seem to auto login and sometimes I need to log out and log in again for extension to register that im logged in
