Did you miss Microsoft Professional Developer Conference but wish you were there? Did you attend PDC but couldn't fit in all the sessions you Firefoxwanted? You can easily download ALL of the sessions at PDC using this nifty little trick sent to Microsoft Subnet from Twitter pal Luciano Evaristo Guerche . He documents how to use Firefox add on DownThemAll for grabbing PDC sessions. DownThemAll grabs all of the links or images on a Web page per your criteria, making surfing a link-heavy site up to 400% faster, the tool's maker claims. Guerche walks you through using DownThemAll to grab just the content you want (be it zipped PowerPoint presentations, videos or whatnot) and how to easily give the files more descriptive names to boot. You can then access the files at your own pace in your own style knowing you haven't missed anything.

If you like this, take a gander at these other great Firefox extensions.
