How to Download Files Faster in Firefox – Accelerate Download Speed upto 10 Times
FireDownload Firefox Addon is part of an upcoming family of downloading tools for Firefox, which promises to boost up your downloading up to 10 times faster, completely integrating itself into the browser’s interface and menus.
# Here is an example of FireDownload in Action :
Downloading Ubuntu Linux from their server, with and without FireDownload. (I have BSNL 500 NU plan).
After you install it, a new option will be available as a checkbox into your download interface (see below) : click it, and your file will begin downloading much faster.
The only problem I encountered until now is that you cannot change location and name for the file, but maybe developers will adjust this feature in upcoming versions.

You can also right-click on any file URL or a direct link and using "Save Link (FireDownload)": clicking it will immediately start a new download to the default location (Desktop).
> Install FireDownload : Click Here
The installation package comes in XPI format, so you will have to allow it by clicking the pop-up button on the top right of your screen.

Aakash : It is really great software!
Debajyoti Das : Thank You Aakash..... Even I am amazed at the performance it provides..
Anish K.S : Thanks friend, i have faced some problems for rar/zip files downloaded using this, while extracting all showing damaged message. :(
Debajyoti Das : Maybe ... but I have downloaded many movies in rar, zip format ... they are working fine. Sometimes it does happen that zip files themselves create the problem when download accelerators are used. The good thing about this add-on is that it works even if the site doesn't support download accelerators.
f.mqn : I dont know if anyone elses has the same issues, but when i download it used to come up with a time frame of how long left now im using firedownload it goes past the actual files size ie. file size 170 mb it does not stop downloading and just carries on!
Simrandeep Singh : I'm going to try it now. Hope it works
Debajyoti Das : @Simrandeep - Ya ... It really works well.... It works amazing with mediafire, rapidshare downloads... and it works like a charm on direct links
