Excellent script, but why not add auto-download?

All you have to do is set location.href to the location of the file. Don't worry; Firefox will realize the mime type and see that you have to save it to the disk.

Cheers,

I know auto-starting download is easy, but I don't want it. I prefer manual start, so I can decide for each file if it should be downloaded within the browser or with an external download manager.

In fact, I have been asking authors of other download scripts to include an option to disable auto-start.

Also, I've lost interest in Storage.to altogether, as together with the change of their client ID tracking from cookie to IP, the download speed has also dropped dramatically, making it inferior in all aspects to some of the alternatives.
