From our FAQ:
Too intrusive.
– Disable video\audio capture. Turn ON it only when you want to capture a video or an audio file.
– Disable the extension. It will not bother you and take up browser resources.Turn ON if will be necessary.– You can turn off the video capture notification for Video Box (IE, Firefox) and show it only if you want to download the video (audio).
– If you only want to capture video then clear field “Automatically start downloading the following file types” and your browser will download other files by itself.
– If you only want to capture only certain types of files then list them in field “Automatically start downloading the following file types”.These recommendations will significantly reduce annoying software notifications.
Thanks. I have installed this latest giveaway version, and set a bunch of Config options for it. It looks like you may have made significant changes / improvements since my unsatisfactory experiences with a prior version, some time ago. I will let you know if I encounter any problems, this time. What I’m hoping for is to have this be one more available tool in my “downloading toolbox.” I happen to run multiple browsers — because they each have notable strengths and weaknesses compared to each other, and a single browser is just not sufficient these days. For example, I like the display and print performance of Opera: it tends to show or print out (or optionally Save to PDF) entire web pages or articles that might come out severely truncated in the other browsers, and in so doing it provides a much better pagination preview.
I may choose to enable ANT DM integration in certain of these browsers (some of which are portable app versions), but not in others. I want Ant to do its thing when called upon, but not automatically all of the time. There happens to be an older browser extension download manager which has been super reliable that I favor for use in FireFox, as well as specialized video sniffer and download tools I use such as TubeDigger. If one does not succeed with a particular task, another one likely will. That has been my experience. It is very important for me to keep these various tools available but peacefully coexisting, rather than clashing with each other. Program settings should allow that to happen. Hopefully this will be possible with your recent version.
I don’t recall if WinPcap was included with the older version of Ant that I tried, but — if it is still a necessary or desirable component — it looks like I’d have to install that separately now.
