   Reviewing 1.1.7.8 (Feb 16, 2009)

   If you use FlashGot to download FLV videos as does SueAmma below, you may want to avoid v1.1.7.8. A Bug has crept into this version that causes the same video to appear twice when you hover over the download icon. If you click to download you get two copies of the same video. To work around this problem you must right click on the icon and select one of the two identical videos. I personally solved this problem by reinstalling v1.1.7.7 retrieved from a backup of my Firefox profile.
   
   This anomoly has been reported and hopefully will be fixed in a future version. In the meantime I will keep a copy of v1.1.7.7 to replace any update that still has the problem.

   FlashGot is great for downloading FLV files from YouTube and similar sites. When a video is available on the web page, a button appears on the right side of the status bar. One click and the video is downloaded.

   Why use FlashGot and a download manager? Because I often have to download batches of files, and using "FlashGot Selection"--and sending the files to Free Download Manager--is far easier and faster than manually downloading each one.
   
   Complaining about the needlessness of FlashGot is just a failure of the imagination.
   
   As far as DownThemAll! as a download manager/accelerator, it is too limited for serious use. I explain in my review there.
