I accidentally started a 2nd "download and convert" of the same film clip but could not work out how to stop and delete the 2nd download. Also I want to download & convert just the 1st clip from a set of 15 clips but again don't know how to make Download Helper stop once it's started downloading. Anyone know how to do this?

HI Teacup2, I understand that you would like to know how to manage downloads in the Download Helper. If this is the add on, the faqs page may be helpful http://www.downloadhelper.net/faq.php

However if this is an issue with the download manager built into Firefox, it is possible to navigate to the about:downloads page to pause current downloads.

My questions are about the Add-On "Download Helper". I've already searched their FAQs but can't find any reference to stopping a download and cancelling it.
