DownThemAll! (DTA) is a free software download manager browser extension. DTA can download all or some linked files, images, or embedded objects associated with a webpage. It can pause, resume, or restart downloads.[4][5][6][7][8]

As with any download manager, the main feature of DTA is multi-part downloading. This allows the user to download the file in pieces, then combine the pieces after a completed download. This increases the download speed when connected to a slow server.[4] It has Metalink support, which allows multiple URLs for each file to be used, along with checksums and other information about the content.[4] Multi-part downloading- also referred to as segmented downloading - is no longer possible with the migration to webextension.[9] Other features no longer supported as a web extension are checksum/hash verification, metalinks, and mirror sources.

When extracting links from a page, the user may choose to download only specific files (for example: all PDFs) using wildcard or regular expression inclusive filters.[4]

All DTA versions below 4.0 are incompatible with Firefox 57 or above (Quantum). DTA 4.0 moved the codebase from XUL to WebExtensions.[10] The first 4.0 beta version was released August 21, 2019.[11] On September 1, 2019, DownThemAll! 4.0 was released, supporting Quantum.[12] On September 8, 2019, DownThemAll! 4.0.9 was released for Chrome and Opera add-ons.[13][14]

DownThemAll! was reviewed by Lifehacker,[15] Wired,[16] Spiegel Online,[17] Tucows.[18]
