Ah, that explains a lot. This looks useful because I often have an itchy trigger finger and download more than one copy. But you know what I really miss in Chrome would be a decent download manager that lets me select multiple files from one page instead of DLing them one at a time. Last time I looked the only extension for this practically announced itself as malware.

Funnily enough, this extension exists as a sample extension in the Chrome extension docs. Apparently, you can't link to specific samples, so just go to https://developer.chrome.com/dev/extensions/samples.html and filter by "downloads." The extension you're looking for is "Download Selected Links."

It looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/XF6S0mu.png

+20 internets to you - that's a serious time-saver for me!
