Downloads Router

Since the latest version of Video DownloadHelper (10.0) was released, it has been interfering with this add-on, rendering it unusable. If possible, please address this issue.

This extension is so helpful in sorting my downloads so that I can find them easily. Please update it for latest chrome policies.

Best extention for my workflow! Please update it for latest chrome policies.

You don't support mime masks or "starts with", do you? That's huge deficiency!

This is an amazing extension that I wish I had found years ago. One thing that was annoying and almost a deal breaker till I found a workaround is that if you use MIME to try to sort files that are covered under more than one MIME this seems to always put stuff in the more broad MIME folder. Eg .CBZ is a zip file type "application/x-cbz" for comic books would always go to where zips "application/zip" where saved. The workaround for this is to just set for these filetypes the rules under Finename and don't have any rules for them with MIME.

This is one of the best download management extensions for Chrome

The extension works great, I am having an issue where it is saving the files in a folder titled "null" rather than the destination I entered of "Quotes". Apart from that, it works perfectly.

The idea is great. Unfortunately, the extension isn't working

This is one of the extensions that can prevent me from using Firefox as my main browser since there is no extension that can AUTOMATICALLY route download based on file type in that browser, at least not yet

It still works as advertised, but the instruction is fairly difficult to understand. A casual user like me has to do some trials and errors before eventually understand how to use the extension. Great job, anyway.

Renames (some?) files based on their mime type, not their original extension. eg. .some-random-application-specific-extension gets renamed .json, because that's the kind of file it is... but it won't work with the correct application because you've lost the metadata that says which application should open the file. Appears to work as advertised otherwise.

Unfortunately, this chrome extension is changing file extension. For example, .CSV files may change extension to .TXT or .XLS while the content stays CSV.

My first review for a Chrome extension! This is a great extension. I was searching for something like this for images (like the old "save images in folder" in Firefox) and Downloads Router manages all files you like. And domain! Too bad there is no more development. We all need a backup setting button :-)

It's annoying to configure currently, but it could save a lot of time in the long-run. The main thing I wish for though is the compatibility to also define certain sections of a domain to work for routing through the referrer as well. For example places like 4chan have all the boards on the same subdomain but each board has its own section, like /a/ and /g/. So I'd like that kind of addition to this. Although the bitbucket link to this doesn't seem to exist anymore so I might just have to make this change on my own end to get it to work like that.

It works perfectly and it is easy to understand even for non-super techies like me. Very useful to organize your download folder if, like me, you often download files from the same sites.

Works fine but the instructions are difficult to understand. Tip: do NOT include the full path in the "Destination folder". So, for example, if the default download location set in Chrome is "C:\Downloads", and you want to create a rule to save all files with the word "monkey" into "C:\Downloads\Animals\Mammals", then create a rule as follows: Filename: "monkey" Destination folder: "Animals\Mammals" Hope this helps others out.

4 stars. Love it. Would be 5 stars if it accepted wildcards MIME types such as "image/*" and "video/*"

Unnecessarily complicated. would be very easy to improve some of the pain points mentioned in many other reviews that've been there for years. drop down for mime, auto subdomain or wildcard, subfolders based on name, etc etc. Needs improvement

Have been using for years in Chrome. Just installed in the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser, and it's working perfectly so far. An export/import feature would've been nice (I had to copy/paste all my mappings) but considering the time this saves me, not a big deal.

Неработающая шляпа.

It works great, but it occasionally resets all of its data (likely after a chrome update). This makes it a bit of a pain to use as you have to re-setup everything every few months. It is 5 stars otherwise.

Does nothing. Downloads follow my Chrome settings no matter what I do in this extension.

Lange nach gesucht und endlich gefunden. Nachdem ich von Firefox zu Chrome gewechselt bin, nervte mich extrem, dass sich in Chrome die Downloadpfade nicht gemerkt werden und ich jedesmal durch den Explorer klicken muss. Jetzt kann ich nach Domain, Filetype, Dateiname/Endung das Downloadverzeichnis vorbelegen. Das ist jetzt sogar noch besser als in Firefox, auch wenn es anfangs ein bisschen Verwaltungsarbeit macht. Die Oberfläche ist aber übersichtlich gemacht und auch die richtigen Tipps (mit mklink) werden da gleich angezeigt. Kompliment an den Programmierer. Alles richtig gemacht!

Just awesome!!! Can I download to any folder outside my Downloads folder? For example, I want to download to ~/xyz_site_downloads [Using MacOS]

Tried everything I could come up with but just could not get this extension to work. Always downloads the files to the default folder or asks me where I want it. A few examples would be great (filename, filetype, etc), otherwise it's useless.
