DownZemAll!

DownZemAll! is a rewrite of the legacy software DownThemAll! which was an extension for Mozilla Firefox, but whose development stopped around 2016, when Mozilla Firefox migrated to WebExtensions.

DownZemAll! is a free download manager for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

It aims to work with latest versions of Mozilla Firefox (powered by WebExtensions), and other web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari...).

DownZemAll! is written in C++ and based on the Qt5 framework.
