Obst please please please tell us why you wont switch? we can't make effective arguments without knowing what we're fighting for.

i am perfectly happy about the way my PC runs at the very moment, so I do not want to switch stuff that forms the base of my daily life, for example IE.

Obst, it would be a glorious thing if you did a sort of trial run of firefox.. perhaps a day or two? it won't hurt you and the download and install is very simple...

*sniff sniff* i've tried everything short of a format to get firefox working for myself, it pains me to see people who "can" use firefox, but wont <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You one day will be one of those old people who refuses to try anything new that frustraits people because they don't understand simple things because their minds are stuck in the past on things that they are familiar with because they never try new stuff. (AKA My boss)

Wow, that's a long run-on sentence...

last time i tried firefox a lot of pages i routinely visit no longer worked. that means i have to hunt down all those little plugins for firefox to get those pages working again. no thanks. firefox is probably full of loopholes too, like the foreign alphabet exploit they had earlier. the reason there are so few exploits used is because nearly no one uses it, and the effort to exploit it is wasted. if i were you loyal ff users i'd want to keep it that way.

Seriously guys, you're all turning into a bunch of lynching zealots. He doesn't want to use IE. Deal with it. And then drop it.

Well of course you need to get plugins to make FF work like IE. They can't ship them all with the browser because it'd be a huge instal (flash, Java, shockwave, QT and Real all would add a huge increase, and those are the common plugins)

<a href='http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/' target='_blank'>http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/</a> Wait, did you say there was hunting around? Takes me all of two minutes.

Also, you do know that the IDN exploit you speak of was a shortfalling with the standard itself and not the broswer, right? It affected every browser that had support, not just FF (if you had the IDN plugin for IE, hot damn it'd affect that too)

Besides which, at least the Firefox team fix exploits which are found in an extremely swift timeframe.

i believe its his decision in what browser he uses, and his original question was about having a multiple file downloader, which he has now, not a debate on why he should use firefox.

Wow, you people are worse than the Mormons. Just shut up already.

You could use DAP (Download Accelerator Plus), It has that option in it and usually it boosts my downloads speed by 1.5 or even two times.
