Chase Vinson (ID: 000000622d1feac9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/08/2023 This is awesome! The reason why I got this is mainly because my internet sucks at downloading things, it's fine playing games, but downloading things with my internet is dog water. When I wanted to download something, I had to keep pressing 'resume' for HOURS ON HOURS on end! But with this, I dont have to woory about that!

Kariuki (ID: 000000b1bdeda949) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 No longer working. I tried downloading a video from fansnub.com and it would stop and the extension wasn't restarting it.

Brady Weber (ID: 0000003d3f21a8e2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/13/2023 Doesn't work at all

Michael Schwarzbach (ID: 000000b4aa26356b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/10/2023 Worked like a charm at first.. you have to re-apply your settings every 6min or so or your downloads remain stopped. Still far, far better than needing to manually check every ~10s or so. Others have noted this seems to be a bug with the buffer size in the Log section. Hopefully this would be an easy bug fix for the dev.
