DownThemAll!

What is DownThemAll ?

DownThemAll (or just dTa) is a powerful yet easy-to-use Mozilla Firefox extension that adds new advanced download capabilities to your browser.

DownThemAll lets you download all the links or images contained in a webpage and much more: you can refine your downloads by fully customizable criteria to get only what you really want.

DownThemAll is all you can desire from a download manager: it features an advanced accelerator that increases speed up to 400%, it allows you to pause and resume downloads at any time and, last but not least, it's fully integrated into my favorite browser!

In my point of view...

As usual this is one of my favorite add on to my favorite web browser. It's all about abusing the server and getting maximum out of it, Down Them All sends multiple request to multiple mirrors (up to 10) and receives maximum bandwidth out of the download. By default the maximum-chunks (mirrors) is set to 4 for bandwidth utilization.

Thats not all there are more than this in the new beta version of Down Them All. New web 2.0 like graphics and advanced mirror identification and packet optimizations are some new features which will take this add on to it's peak.

At the end of the day its one of it kind and the best part is it's totally free! So if you want some songs or files in seconds, this is the best bloke you can pick. Still there are some web servers disables the ability of Multi-mirror based downloads, dTa is still useful for those friendly sites which are so much forgiving ; )

By the way have a nice downloading...

Remember Passwords in Web Browsers

When you type a password into any web form, both Internet Explorer and Firefox prompt whether you would like them to remember your password.

If that’s a personal computer, chances are high that you will click Yes and the password is then saved in the web browser.

This “Remember Me” option in web browsers is useful but it actually puts your login credentials at serious risk especially in Firefox.

View stored passwords in Internet Explorer:

Though IE stores your passwords in encrypted form in the Windows Registry database, anyone can easily view your passwords using a free 35kb tool called IE PassView.

The tool automatically displays a list all auto-complete entries saved inside IE. See screenshot.

View stored passwords in Firefox:

With Firefox, it gets much simpler and anyone who knows how to use a mouse can see all your passwords stored inside Firefox.

The route is Tools -> Options -> Security -> Show Passwords. And there you have all the passwords that you ever asked Firefox to remember for you.

Even that short visit to a nearby gaming pc could leak your identity as all it takes is few seconds for anyone to view your secret passwords.

To keep yourself safe, uncheck “Prompt me to save passwords” in Internet Explorer and “Set Master Password” in Firefox

So I highly reckon u guys to use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer! ;-)
