What is a .DTAPART file?
The file extension .DTAPART is associated with a type of file known as a DownThemAll! Partially Downloaded File. This file is created and used by DownThemAll!, which is an add-on or extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. DownThemAll! helps users manage and speed up file downloads directly within the browser.
A .DTAPART file contains a part of a file that is currently being downloaded. When you start downloading a file using DownThemAll!, the partially downloaded file is saved with the .DTAPART extension to indicate that the download is not yet complete. As the download progresses, more data is added to this file.
Once the download is fully completed, the .DTAPART extension is removed, and the file is automatically renamed to its original filename with the correct file extension. This renaming signifies that the file is completely downloaded and is ready to be used.
To open a .DTAPART file, you need to have Mozilla Firefox installed with the DownThemAll! add-on. Since .DTAPART files are not complete files, they are typically not meant to be opened until the download has finished. If you see a .DTAPART file, it usually means the download is still in progress or was interrupted.
In summary, .DTAPART files are temporary files used during the downloading process by the DownThemAll! add-on in Firefox. These files are part of a system to efficiently manage downloads and are automatically converted to their final form once the download is complete.
