Patreon Downloader Extension

An extension to help you download all of those attachments quickly, to a folder of your choice.

When viewing a Patreon Post page, you can use the `Patreon Downloader` to quickly download all of the media and attachments from that post into your Downloads folder.

The zip filename will be pre-filled for you based on the Patreon creator's name and the title of the post.

For example, if you were downloading from creator `JohnSmith` and the title of the post was `These are some of my favourite things...` you would be given a filename of `johnsmith-these-are-some-of-my-favourite-things.zip`.

Patreon Downloader will download 3 files concurrently, to prevent the downloads timing out. The downloads will continue even if you close the Patreon Downloader window.
