May 09, 08 by sharky 1,377 views

Here are three addons for Firefox that assist in managing your TorrentFlux seedbox. DownThemAll - a simultaneous download manager; FireFTP - FTP inside of Firefox; and TorrentFlux Add - a seedbox extension for URL downloading.

DownloadThemAll

The DownThemAll extension for Firefox will allow you to pause & resume downloads when downloading to your PC from your seedbox, and it also supports the dividing of files into multiple parts to be downloaded simultaneously, therefore increasing your overall speed.

DownThemAll is great for individual RAR files. Here’s how it works:

1. Install DownThemAll - restart Firefox when prompted.

2. In the TorrentFlux main window, go into your "Directory", and enter a folder of a finished torrent. You should see the multiple RAR files (*.R00, .R01…). On each one in the list, right-click and select, "Save Link with DownThemAll!".

3. A new window will open - you’ll first need to select a ’save directory’. Then, click either "Start" or "Add Paused".

4. In both cases, another window will open where you can manage the files to be downloaded. If you added the files in ‘paused’, you’ll be able to right-click and "Select All". Click the green Resume button to launch all files into downloading mode.

FireFTP - FTP for Firefox

FireFTP is an extremely easy to use FTP client that works inside of Firefox. Also available from here.

Download and install. FireFTP can be run from the Tools menu in Firefox. The first time it loads up, it goes to a donation screen - close it (or donate) and go back to Tools > FireFTP again. As with any FTP program, you’ll need to supply the "host" address (or name) and your username/password. Click on "Manage Accounts > New…" to add the new host. You’ll now be able to connect to your seedbox and download directly from there.

TorrentFlux Add

This quick and easy plugin is designed to create a quicklaunch icon in the bottom of Firefox. It’s simple to set up - just enter the URL of your seedbox along with username and password. A small green icon is created, and allows a user to automatically launch their seedbox. Download tfluxadd.xpi from here. After install, go to Tools > Add-ons and click ‘Options‘ for the TorrentFlux Add extension. Enter your seedbox URL and account info:
