I really like downloading things from Sourceforge. If you haven’t done it before, just do me a favor and browse through some of the projects listed there. The only Web annoyance comes in when you have to download something. I don’t want to be bothered with picking a mirror to download from anymore.

Sourceforge Direct Download is the answer to my problems. No longer will I be bugged by the “select a mirror” Web page on Sourceforge. Here is what the developer has to say about it:

If you frequently download files from Sourceforge projects, use this extension to automatically convert download links to use your favorite mirror (instead of having Sourceforge prompt you).

After you install it, all you need to do is select your favorite mirror, and then get to downloading. If you have any other questions or comments, make sure you visit Sourceforge Direct Download’s Web page at MozDev.org.

This Firefox extension is for versions 1.5 and up of the browser. If you want to download it and try it out for yourself, you can do so at the Mozilla Update Web site.
