Reviews & Comments of Download Notify chrome extension

Made a sound for exactly one download and never worked again.

I've been looking for a way to get audible notifications when a download is complete in Chrome. I came across your Chrome extension "Download Notify" and tried it out. So far, it's pretty good but I often miss or don't hear the subtle sound effect as I am usually multitasking on and off my computer especially when other sound sources are present. I would like to make a few suggestions that I think would make this really solid. 1. Looping a sound effect until a user intervenes or stops it. 2. A different sound effect for a failed download, this message reads "Failed - Network error" in the download tab. 3. Custom sounds that can accommodate long length sound files, like a drone, alarm, or a soundtrack until a user intervenes or stops it. Download notifications on lengthy downloads are especially helpful, especially when you are multitasking. Just as important is a different sound for failed downloads, it's pretty frustrating when a lengthy download fails halfway through and you don't realize it until much much later because you are waiting for the completed download sound effect!

No longer works as of 2021. Most downloads do not give the download finished sound. Very rarely once in 50 downloads, the sound plays.

It needs more work, like a possibility to define a custom sound and the counter is just broken on my computers it's showing like 183 in one, 386 in another, etc.

Simple & great extension to have.

My preferred notification extension, plus the sounds are just right. One problem the counter still shows after downloads are complete, its really annoying. I doubt you'll even see this, since the extension hasn't had an update since 2014. Regardless awesome extension.

Add an option to change to my own sounds

Works great when I want to be notified when my downloads are complete. Thanks!
