About this tag
FlashGot is a Firefox plugin mentioned in a WindowsForum.com thread about a major Explorer corruption issue. A user attempted to download a video from YouTube using FlashGot, which resulted in the file being saved in broken, incomplete parts to the desktop. When trying to delete these incomplete files via the Recycle Bin, the process stalled with a 'Discovering Items' message, requiring Task Manager intervention. This caused the desktop to go blank temporarily. The thread highlights potential risks of using FlashGot for downloads, including file corruption and system instability, particularly with Windows Explorer and the Recycle Bin.
