Comment by 91.186.60.118[edit]

Dear wiki-folks,

we, the DownThemAll! developers, did not create or modify this article. ;) It is sad to see that the article, which must have been written by our users after all, is marked "Advertisement". Especially considering that other articles within this category, such as GetRight, FlashGet, Orbit Downloader, are not marked as advertisement although the style seems pretty similar.

Filters[edit]

Someone had added the word "bawlz" before filters. I removed it, but in the edit summary didn't give a complete description (hit enter by mistake, before completing it). I'm not a regular wikipedian, so if theres a way to edit the summary or something, please do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.160.224 (talk) 21:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Downthemall.jpg[edit]

Image:Downthemall.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

written in Language ...?[edit]

Hello there, it seems as no one knows which language this one is written in, although the source is available under the GPL. There's a link ( http://code.downthemall.net/ ) to the code repository. At first glance, what I saw there is JavaScript and XUL - although I can't imagine something like that written in such languages. Does anyone know, if there's a hard core of Java anywhere inside the project? Else, I suggest mentioning XUL as the main language of the project. --80.136.70.52 (talk) 11:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This product is not open source as soon as source code is not available.[edit]

Please provide source code or remove GPL form your license. Regards, Dmitry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Extde (talk • contribs) 02:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Release Date[edit]

The 1.1.8 release date says 2009, but on the homepage it says 2010!? 78.43.91.242 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:28, 16 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Fix many funny mistakes[edit]

Hello, pilgrims! 😊 I am writing this as a form of extended edit summary before I hit save. I'm editing the article to fix a lot of funny mistake, including:

DTA is described as cross-platform. It isn't. It runs on one platform only: Firefox platform.
The lead said DTA could restart a download without the loss of data! Restarting a download job entails throwing away whatever had been downloaded for that job.
WP:SUBMARINE was not observed for a link to Firefox extension.
The function of DTA was described as download only what is contained in a webpage in the same manner as images or embedded objects. Web pages link to downloaded files; they never contain them, at least, not in the sense that they contain images or embedded objects.
Past tense was used to describe what DTA still does.
The "History" section was actually a "features" section.
The "Reception" section did not say anything about reception. There is no need to make sections headings for each paragraph in the article, especially if their title is not accurate.
Parameters of the citation templates (Template:Cite web and Template:Cite news) were not correctly employed.
