This week some addons to help with downloading and uploading!

UnPlug

UnPlug is an extension which lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage - it’s a video download tool.

UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where media players are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file.

UnPlug works for lots of sites including youtube.com, ifilm.com, current.tv, revver.com, peekvid.com, video.google.com, mobuzztv.com and lots, lots more.

Works great!

Download Status Bar

View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing.
Despite its compact size, Download Statusbar packs in more useful features than the standard download window. The fully customizable interface auto-hides when not in use, allowing full control without interruption.

Gspace

Gspace adds an FTP-like interface to upload your files to your gmail account. Easy to use and a good choice to backup your important files to free online storage.

One word of caution. Do not upload/download many files in a single day. You may get your account blocked for 24 hours. It seems this happens if more than 1GB of data is transferred in a single day.
