I am using FDM quite a while now, and so far I am happy with it. The only
thing is that sometimes it is quite hard to tell to my browser that I do NOT
want to use FDM for downloading a particular file. Typical examples are the
session logon sites, where you have a session key that the browser knows,
but FDM does not (obviously). So FDM wants to help me on downloading the
file, however, the authentication fails so it will be unsuccessful. Many
times I can still use the right button and select the browser to save the
link, but it does not work all the cases. I can't tell which site is the
example as I did not track those but next time when I will face to this
problem again I will let you know.
