Java Scriptlets

Save the following code as a bookmark, then you can open the bookmark to run the desired action. Download all files with a specific extension :

javascript:!function(){var%20t=prompt("Enter%20filetype%20to%20download%20(format:%20.mp3)");if(null!==t)for(var%20e=document.querySelectorAll('[href$="'+t+'"]'),o=0;o<e.length;o++)e[o].setAttribute("download",""),e[o].click();else%20alert("No%20format")}();

Resize "Filename" column in OD to make entire filename visible :

javascript:!function(){function e(e){var o,n,r=e.href;e.textContent=(n=(o=r).split("/").filter(Boolean).reverse()[0],console.log(n),o.lastIndexOf("/")==o.lenght-1&&(n+="/"),n=n.indexOf(" ")>=0?decodeURI(n):decodeURIComponent(n))}anchors=document.body.querySelectorAll("a"),anchors=Array.from(anchors).slice(1),anchors.map(e)}();

Display pictures as thumbnails :

javascript:(function(){function%20I(u){var%20t=u.split('.'),e=t[t.length-1].toLowerCase();return%20{gif:1,jpg:1,jpeg:1,png:1,mng:1}[e]}function%20hE(s){return%20s.replace(/&/g,'&amp;').replace(/>/g,'>').replace(/</g,'<').replace(/"/g,'&quot;');}var%20q,h,i,z=open().document;z.write('<p>Images%20linked%20to%20by%20'+hE(location.href)+':</p><hr>');for(i=0;q=document.links[i];++i){h=q.href;if(h&&I(h))z.write('<p>'+q.innerHTML+'%20('+hE(h)+')<br><img%20src="'+hE(h)+'">');}z.close();})()

Display pictures as thumbnail gallery :

javascript:var%20sHTML=%22<html><head><title>gallery</title><body><center><table%20border=0>%22;var%20y=0;for(x=0;x<document.links.length;x++){a=document.links[x].href;%20if%20(a.match(/jpe|jpeg|jpg|bmp|tiff|tif|bmp|gif|png/i)){sHTML+='<td%20style=%22border-style:solid;border-width:1px%22><a%20target=%22_new%22%20href=%22'+a+'%22><img%20border=%220%22%20width=%22100%22%20src=%22'+a+'%22></a></td>';%20if%20(!((x+1)%5))%20sHTML+=%22</tr><tr>%22}};this.innerHTML=sHTML+%22</table></center></body></html>%22;

The-Eye Image Viewer :

javascript:void(window.open('https://fusker.the-eye.eu/url.php?url='+encodeURIComponent(document.URL).replace(/\./g,'%25252E')));

Another Linked Images Bookmarklet. More bookmarklets.

Softwares

There are other software programs that provide wget with a GUI like Gwget and WinWGet though I've never used them and hence can't comment on their reliability.

  • youtube-dl (Python) downloads videos from various sites. Just like wget you can find GUI frontend for this.

  • RipMe (Java) is an album ripper for various websites.

  • HTTrack Website Copier (Windows/Linux/OSX/Android) can mirror entire websites. Other download helpers you should try :

  • Adware free JDownloader (Win/Linux/OSX/Java) Has GUI

  • xdm (Win/Linux/OSX/Java) Has GUI.

  • uGet (Win/Linux/OSX/Android) Has GUI.

  • curl (Win/Linux/OSX/...) Command line tool.

  • aria2 (Linux/OSX) Command line. A web-based UI is also available.

  • axel (Linux/OSX) Command line tool.

  • Rclone (Win/Linux/OSX) Command line tool. Rclone has some great commands that can list files, print remote directory size or even mount it as mountpoint. Here is a list of all commands. I recommend you to go through their entire website.

You can also use httpdirfs, which is made by a redditor who posted it here to mount the remote directory as mountpoint. It even appears to be somewhat faster than "rclone mount".
