I'm trying to understand (and possibly implement) how some file downloaders detect a download in my browser and automatically start downloading in replacement of the browser internal download module. Any idea how it's done especially related to C# or Java coding ?

Is Firefox the only browser you need to support? – M.Babcock Dec 18 '11 at 02:23

Then I suggest you do your own research for each browser. Each one requires its own method from what I understand and have their own quirks. Please remember that SO is not your personal R&D service. – M.Babcock Dec 18 '11 at 07:15
