Tired of the ‘wait to download’ pages on most file downloading sites?

Skipscreen is an add-on for Firefox that solves the problem.

I personally hate clicking on a download link only to find out that I have 45 seconds to wait till I can start downloading. Ya know, I have a life!

Why do they make you wait? So their advertisers are happy of course!

What free hosting services will SkipScreen save you from?

• Rapidshare
• Megaupload
• DepositFiles
• LinkBucks
• DivShare
• Link-protector
• more to come…

Here’s a screen shot of SkipScreen in action – it shows how you can start the download before the “your download will begin shortly” screen even appears.

What’s also great is that SkipScreen is pretty fast with updates, and adjusts itself to any of the changes that these sharing sites make that might block the app from working.

Check out the SkipScreen add-on for Firefox now!
