Recommendation for a download manager

Can anyone recommend a stupid simple download manager, presumably a Browser Extension.

The use case is that I'm sitting on a report and want to download all the file attachments which are in a column on the report.  I have tried out about 6 of them and can't figure out how any of them work.

  • I had the exact same requirement and went with DTA (down them all)

    It allows you to create a custom filter so you can set it to target URLs containing the base attachment URL up to the record id.

    In my specific example i was targeting images in a rich text field that i was generating, so i was easily able to tag the field in a way that DTA could pick it up among all other urls

      That was actually the one that I started with. 

      But I can't figure out though how to use its user Interface to point it to a Quickbase report URL?  It seems to come up with a long list of website URLs which that browser has been on in the past and I cant figure out how to clear that list..

        It runs within the context of the currently open page.

        So for Quickbase you would navigate to the report and run it.

        Select the preconfigured QB attachment filter and it will queue up downloads for all of them.
