    The retry feature was added AFTER the previous reviewer noted its absence.

    The auto retries setting is on the MAIN page of the options menu. You can set the retry frequency and limit. But yeah, I'm really not sure why they disabled retries by default.

    It's a very good download manager, but it does not have some of the advanced features of standalone managers like FDM and Orbit. I don't think it was ever intended to entirely supplant software like that even if they share basic functionality.

    Personally, DTA has all of the features I need, and the browser integration just makes things simpler for the way I do them. The "grab all media on page" feature works better than the competition, and is a natural fit.

    Excellent stuff.

    It's a nice extension, and it makes download selection much easier, but it's ridiculous to call this a "download manager". I say this because of obvious deficiencies, such as there being no way to add alternate servers for a given download. And when a download encounters an error--whether it's a server error, a timeout, a local problem, or anything else--it's too bad for you, because DTA won't retry the download. It just happily gives up. Anyone who calls this a "download manager" has ridiculously low standards.

    Nice download manager, would be better if could import list of links like orbit or FDM.

    as a download manager/resumer, DTA is great. unfortunately it has the nasty little habit of increasing the maximum number of connections, persistent connections, and persistent connections per server. these values (which can only be reverted manually via about:config) are increased so aggressively that normal browsing is noticeably impacted...i am on a 9mbps connection and experience significant bottlenecking when loading from 3 or more tabs.

    if this addon could increase these connections only when downloading, and then reset them to their previous values when its downloads are finished, i would give it a 5.
