video download didnt work with firefox...the panel show up but pressing it didnt trigger anything and for some player it show up when cursor hovering in player but dissapear when the cursor move to click it

The updates keep coming one after another. Add URL from clipboard is really a nice add. Got some suggestions for it.

Multiple url are only recognized if they are in separate lines, would be nice if they were also recognized when they are in the same line either separated by a space or " ; ". Usually, when I need many URL at once, I paste them in the address bar. It would be a lot quicker if I could just copy all those URLs from there and start downloading, instead of pasting them in a notepad and putting them in separate lines.

I also agree with yash, you guys should introduce a new design for the download video button.

Hello,
Thank you for the report. We've analyzed it and understood the reason. The problem will be fixed in the next update.
This can happen in case more than 2 minutes has passed since the loading of the video.
You need to reload the page with video in your browser in such cases.

Dear User!

To add multiple links to FDM download list, please follow the steps.

1. On the page in the browser, select multiple links, then, open the context menu - there will be an option "Download selected with FDM". All selected links will be added to FDM download links.

2. If you upgrade to the latest released version:
on the web page or in a text document, select multiple links and copy them to the clipboard.
In the FDM menu, select "Paste URLs from the clipboard".
All copied links will be added to the download list.

Is it the feature you meant?

Regards,
Clive

It's still not a feature available in FDM 3.x that allows to use wildcards.
Do you have any problem with checking how creating batch download is implemented in FDM 3.9.7?

The list is only copied if the URLs are in separate lines, if they're are in the same line separated by a space. The batch download fails. Already reported it and its not fixed in the latest beta.

Along with that, another bug that's not fixed is the remember password. FDM only remembers a password for a specific file, not for a whole domain/site.

Furthermore, I would like to let the devs know. When FDM updates, it downloads the whole setup file and keeps it in the temp. However, after it completes downloading and installing the package, that file is still kept in the temp folder. Today, I found around 10 of those files laying around. It would be nice if FDM can auto delete them after installing the update.

Hello,

The newest version of FDM have a bug.

I missing the DATE correction of downloaded files.
The date is everytime the current, not the original date from the file.

Please, fix this.

Best regards..

i'm totally agree w the above two, i hate metro/windows 8+/modern/simplicity/flat style, it look like crap plus reduced functionality...

OK, I've been clueless, because every time I clicked on check for updates 3.9.7 tells me I have the latest version {Win7-32}
Was unaware that there were new developments but given all the negative reviews, I'll stick to 3.9.7!
