The multiple download project produces a set of extensions for browsers that support the HTML5 "download" attribute. This seems to be Chrome and Firefox at the moment.

The idea is simple: when a suitable page is displayed in the browser, a control is available that allows the user to download selected resources from the page. A suitable page is one with more than one anchor tag containing the download attribute.

A browser need not itself support the download attribute for such an extension to be developed. I just thought it might be nice to start with those browsers that have gone that far in their HTML5 implementation.

Initial focus is on Chrome and Firefox but would love to see people take on Safari, IE, and Opera.

From the chrome://extensions page, you can install the unpacked "chrome" directory from these sources or you can drag the pre-packaged Chrome .crx directly onto that page.
