FlashGot is a free Mozilla Firefox extension that is designed for those who do a lot of downloading. It can handle large numbers of batch downloads with it's own intuitive download manager.
This simple but powerful plugin can even handle batch downloads for many anonymous or redirected download link services such as anonym.to, tinyurl.com, moourl.com, anonymz.com, shorten.ws and tubeurl.com. 

This most recent version has been updated to support rapidly growing sites such as megaupload.com, rapidshare.com and depositfiles.com. 
The one drawback is the constant update warnings. You'll find that frequently, when it comes to starting Firefox, FlashGot will prompt you for an update which is a bit annoying but a small price to pay for a great download manager. No more clicking multiple links and "Save as" – FlashGot simply scans the page for downloadable links and then you select which ones you need. 

 Features:
  • FlashGot Link (contextual menu or Ctrl-F1 or Alt+Click on a link) – downloads through the default download manager the link under the mouse pointer.
  • FlashGot Selection (menu or Ctrl-F2 or Alt+Click with an active selection) – catches links in hilighted text/images, attempting also pure text to anchors conversion, performing some "smart" replacement like turning "hxxp://" into "http://".
    Many download forums list links to password-protected archives (usually RAR or ZIP), followed by an indication of the password to open them. If you select the links and the password by dragging the text selection with your mouse, and then you use the FlashGot Selection command, the password will be passed to the download manager inside the description of the links, so you can easily retrieve it when the download is completed with no need to annotate it manually.
  • FlashGot All (menu or Ctrl-F3) – grabs all the links found in the current page and dispatches them to the default download manager, which could offer an easy interface* to filter and select the file that will be downloaded in a batch.
    * built-in filter dialog is provided by every 
    Windows/Mac OS X download manager except GetRight and cURL. On Linux, your best open source native option is Downloader 4 X 2.5.4 or above. Alternatively you can try one one of the Windows-only download managers which are supported through Wine by FlashGot version 0.9.9 or above.
  • FlashGot Tabs (menu or Ctrl-F6) – performs a "FlashGot All" on every tab open in the current window. Notice that this command is hidden by default from the context menu: you can show it using the Menu options.
  • FlashGot Media (menu or Ctrl-F7) – it's enabled only when a streaming video or audio clip is playing in the current browser tab: this command intercepts downloadable addresses of the content pieces played so far in the page and sends them to the download manager. Tested on Youtube movies, it should work in many other situations as well. Furthermore, when a video or audio content is intercepted and ready for FlashGot media, a status bar icon flashes as a notification: you can either left click it to download all the streams at once, or right click to choose among multiple streams, if more than one have been found.
You can get it from there
