From v3.10 & up there's no need for Auto_CM. You just have to modify the path in the OnQuit macro. Change this:
getpref(INT, $monster) == 1 ? exec("tools\\Auto_CM.exe 2 1"): 0;
to this:
getpref(INT, $monster) == 1 ? exec("c:\\program Files\\Cookie Monster\CookieMonster.exe -auto"): 0;

Winget is a download accelerator that can increase download speeds by up to 300 percent. Unlike similar applications, it is completely free. It does not contain any banner ads or spy-ware. The acceleration is achieved by splitting the file being downloaded into several parts and downloading these parts at the same time. You may automatically resume broken downloads if your connection is lost or if your computer accidentally shuts down.
Be sure to follow this part of the Winget instructions for installation with K-Meleon . . . "To enable integration with K-Meleon, copy the file WinNP.dll from the Winget installation folder to your K-Meleon plugins folder and rename it to NPWinget.dll."
Download List Generator
Download List Generator is a K-Meleon addon-program that can create an incremental download list and save this list to a file. The created download list file then can be imported into most popular download managers.
The program is useful when wanting to download a large number of files from a website but not all links to the files are being displayed on the website, instead only the first and last link are being displayed. This program will create the missing links for you.
Since the program can also be used from the command line, it is possible so "send" an URL to the program from K-Meleon.
