Don't let the shady name of this browser-based download manager scare you away. PimpFish makes it a snap to download images and movies with a single click. You also can use it to retrieve MP3s, ZIP files, executables, and embedded videos (Flash, for instance). Helpful filtering options ensure you get only the items you want. You can select image types, specify minimum and maximum file sizes, and even filter out ads and banners. The program can automatically log on to password-protected Web sites, and the new version lets you share online packages of download links (though the publisher's forum is full of junk URLs). The well-designed interface conceals several powerful features, including the ability to save whatever Windows Media Player has going. Powerful and snazzy, PimpFish ought to appeal to anyone who downloads images and files in bulk.

Pros
NONE could use it because the MORONS who developed this product did it only for Microsoft that disgusting company that didn't learn from it's monopoly suit back in 2000.
Cons
MORONS who developed this product did NOT make a patch for Opera, Flock, Firefox, Netscape. How STUPID are those people? VERY!!! The tool bar does NOT work ofn IE 7 or Vista. I spent hours trying to get it to work.. for what? ZERO!
Summary
PASS!!! It is a piece of GARBAGE!!! Do NOT expend the time I did with a software that is geared towareds an environment that clearly does NOT endorse it's product. When the IDIOTS who developed this product finally get it... that they need to go to Firefox, Opera, Flock, and Netscape will cooperators to advance their agenda, then their tool bar would most likely work!!! Until then... let those IDIOTS keep chasing their tail.
its best software to your web image surffing!!

Pros
It can grab all pictures u currently see on your opened webpage.
Cons
Doesn't have a size limitation what-so-ever. Sadly doesn't scan linked pages or the entire web (was what I was looking for)
Summary
Can do stuff TubeSucker can't & vice versa. (but I still prefer TubeSucker)

Pros
A very nice piece of software. Lots of power. Overall, it is excellent and I give it 5 stars. This can do several things that TubeSucker cannot do, ...and vice versa. Pimpfish can get all kinds of files from the internet cache like MP3s. TubeSucker can get videos from any website from the cache, but not pics or mp3s. But it is just the way TubeSucker works that swayed my purchase to that one instead of Pimpfish. Pimpfish is more of cache raider type thing. TubeSucker is more a integrated platform for YouTube Video Downloading specifically. The main difference to me is that the file names that are downloaded with TubeSucker are nicer, and the url links to the filenames are stored in a database. That enables you to easily email the youtube URL link when you are playing the files and come across a good one. Just click a button and an Outlook Express email is created with link already in the email. That is a really nice feature for me because I can send youtube video links to friends. Both programs do so much it takes a while to learn all the features. The other thing that got me to buy the TubeSucker one was that I can point it to my MP3 directory and it will go and retrieve videos for each of my MP3s which is extremely cool. You can also opt to get live in concert versions of each of your MP3s. I found the coolest videos of classic rock hits on youtube that way. I would have never taken the time to go look for them. They are both cool pieces of software. It depends on how you like to work and what your needs are. If you want to download MP3s from websites, then clearly Pimpfish is your choice. I like them both, but I bought Tube Sucker. I hope this helps someone.

Handy utility BUT not fully compatible with Firefox
dane_dare
Pros
Logical & easy to use, For those using Explorer you can have some fun with this easy to use add on.
Cons
Unfortunately Pimpfish is only compatible with Firefox 1.5.*.* and below. Those who use a later version of Firefox i.e. ver 2.0.0.4 will have no joy :(
