DownThemAll

DownThemAll is a FireFox add-in which allows you to download all the elements of a particular kind (PDFs, theWord modules, etc. See below on setting the filter for theWord modules). A popup with all the possibilities shows up with a check mark before each one element you want to download, so you can individually check all, selectively check some, or uncheck some. Once you know how to use this add-in, you can will confidence use the One-Click option on it, and simply when you see a page with a lot of downloads, one click and everything is in your downloads folder shortly.

If you are wanting to download a lot of download links at one time from a single page, our website is set up for this. This supposes that you more or less know what the title indicates as to the work, and that you have sufficient Hard Disk space on your computer. Even so, most preachers and Christians today do not have a lot of time to examine a lot of books and evaluate them, minutely one by one. We have to discern and compare what we read with Scripture. Some people see little use for what is of great importance to others. (There is no accounting for taste.)

I would recommend that you use the Firefox Browser. Download it from their website, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/windows/

This browser hast an Add-On (the three pancake horizontal lines on the far right menu bar), and you access these add-ons clicking the menu option “Add-ons and themes“.

Then search for DownThemAll add-on.

https://www.downthemall.org

Their website is https://www.downthemall.org – Is their website to read how to use the add-on.

What DownThemAll Does

When you click on this icon on the far right menu bar of Firefox, it opens a popup with all the downloads (according to the filter you are using in DownThemAll. See below for setting up a theWord filter) in the page with a checkbox before each one, to decide whether you want to download it or not. By default, all are checks.

For example, today I loaded this page in my browser, https://twmodules.com/aa-al-authors/, and this is an image of the first 20 or so lines.

    On This page there are a lot of modules to download. I modified DownThemAll in the preferences menu (three horizontal lines at far right of the Firefox menu line), see image. This is how I have set my options.

   

Now, when you install the Firefox add-in, you should see an icon on the top right of your browser which is like a green arrow with an orange tip pointing down right. See image. This add-in allows you to see, select, deselect, etc. everything downloadable on a web page (the option DownThemAll!), and once you have everything working like how you like it and understand it, then you can fly. “OneClick!” will do everything automatically, download all the eSword modules on the page with one click. The third and fourth options allow the same, but not just with the active tab, but with every tab open in your browser. Be careful how you use it because depending on how many pages in tabs are open and how many downloads are on those pages, you could be downloads gigabytes of files for a while, depending on your Internet speed. But we are not finished setting this up yet. Let’s go back to the preferences menu, Click on the Green arrow, and bottom option, “Preferences”. When the preferences opens, choose filters.

Changing/Adding Filter Masks

Now click on the Filters Tab at the top.

Under Filters add a new filter

eSword

/.(?:tmstv)$/i

Go to a page on the web (in Firefox browser) where there are a lot of downloads you want, and click on the down right green with orange arrow icon (DownThemAll on the Menu). This should pop up.

Note that if you have various tabs (with downloads across various tabs) the second tier of options is what you want to grab all at once. The top two are what I will be focusing on. The “DownThemAll” menu option is what you want to use first until you get used to this, and then maybe the “OneClick!” (which automates downloading everything at one swipe, no hassles, fast and great!)

Note that there are two settings that you need to make to download eSword topx files. Note that according to my understanding of DownThemAll, you can use only 1 of the two methods, and you should be able to download the files from a page. In my experience and use of this addon, I think it is more stable and reliable to do both, set up a filter, and add the actual download mask.

Step 1 Setting up the new Filter

Once you have the DownThemAll addon installed, click on the green diagonal down arrow in the upper right taskbar, and then click on “Manager” option at the bottom of that menu.

Click the “Filters” Tab…

Now click “Add New” and type eSword (or whatever you want to name your filter), and in the filter-expression, type “/\.topx$/i” field. Note that there is really no save button here, so when you navigate away, I guess it saves it, but I click on the top tab “General” just in case.

Step 2 Adding the Download Filter

Note that for my websites, I use the download plugin (backside of WordPress) called Download Monitor, which makes downloads using their own URL. In this URL, the key word is tmstv. The fast filtering field needs to have that in the field. The DownThemAll addon doesn’t work without both of these steps.

BUT…

If you are downloading files from other websites, then they probably aren’t using the same WordPress plugin as I use, so hover your mouse over a few download links, and make note of any key word between the domain name and the actual file name to download. You can test and see if that will make it work.

Note: Some websites do NOT want users to download their files en masse, all at once, and they frustrate their users making them make individual clicks on each download link. Some go so far as to put the actual download link on a separate page, and some really nasty websites even make the user to subscribe to download anything at all. While, yes, there are unscrupulous people who will download all of a site’s files to put them up on their websites (where they make money off of advertising, and they are not even Christians, just people looking to make money however they can), a site cannot offer anything without somebody taking it and uploading it elsewhere. For a book under copyright, the copyright holder can cause the site to remove their works or even take legal action against them. Unfortunately, for public domain works, this is the nature of the beast, so people have to just live with it.

I am not only making a single page with a list of download links, I am even teaching you how to download them quickly and thoroughly. That is the reason people like my websites. Please donate to me (PayPal). I make this easy for you. At least say a prayer for us and our ministry, our health.  

A lot of websites make you jump through hoops in order to get a single file, i.e. they have a page with a list of modules, you have to register and login to download anything, then you click on the download link which takes you to another page or popup making you promise not to upload their public domain files to any other website. (Think about that a minute. A public domain work means that anybody can do anything they want with it. That is what public domain means. How can they get away with making you promise what is against the law? The law contradicts what they are making you agree to, which is wrong.) Then they finally get you to the actual, real download link. In that kind of website, you will never download more than one file at a time.

I am redesigning my website to make it very fast and easy to download my files. You can come download almost everything I have very quickly (I separate these modules by authors, because the pages would load slowly after so many download links, and Google et al. marks my website as spam with so many links anyway.)

So if you click the first icon, you should see something like this.

Note: If you didn’t change the filters option, adding the eSword DownThemAll filter mask as I state above, these probably won’t show up like the above image. See above changing or adding the filter options.

Note: If you don’t see the pink highlighted lines, you will need to scroll down in that window to find them. Every link in the top of the page has a download link page first, then the good stuff further below.

So this bunch of eSword downloads (noting that the key phrase that DownThemAll finds for this filter is “tmstv”) all are listed and checked for downloading. At this point, you can manually scan what you don’t want and uncheck it. Also, not the bottom line “Subfolder“, and this will bypass your Windows download folder to download them to any folder on your computer you want, and you can make some other folder as where it is copying things to, like say your theWord module folder.

I would suggest that you remove modules that you don’t like or don’t think you will use by compressing them into a zip file and storing them on an external drive or a DVD. Moreover, note that each download has the number of times it has been downloaded. While I am constantly uploading new modules , soa new module might not have been downloaded very much, but in general, what a lot of people download might be worthwhile for you to look at.

DON’T DOWNLOAD A WHOLE PAGE OF 50 or 100 DOWNLOADS ONE BY ONE. DOWNTHEMALL IS EXTREMELY BETTER, FASTER, AND SAVES YOU TIME.

I would recommend that you download a page’s downloads to maybe a temporary file (like a subfolder in Windows “Download” folder, like “eSword”) and save that in the DownThemAll options. Come back to the same page in a month and redownload everything again. There is a DownThemAll option to rename or delete when the download already exists, chose delete.

About David Cox

I am a missionary in Mexico for 40 years. We are at 60% of our support level, which it has been that for most of our time here. I pay for everything myself. I do not have any kind of work fund. So I have 34 websites that I run, about half in English, and the other half in Spanish. My monthly download statistics run between 60 gigabytes to 80 gigabytes of downloads from all of my sites. Some sites have up to 250,000 on a very rare day (single day). My Google AdSense income runs about 50 cents of a dollar per day, if that much. So a lot of people are downloading a lot of files always. Yet I go some 5 to 10 months without any donations whatsoever. When I get a donation, rarely is it more than $50.

Enjoy my labors while you can! I am old, getting poorer by the moment, having more medical bills, and no retirement, so this will all end one day soon! May you use my labors to do God’s will, and work. I will be repaid in heaven if the Lord approves of my labors.
