of downloads still active
At least 40 of 5.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

Its the best! There is no more to ask from this brilliant plugin. If you want to manager publishing too many posts a day and if you have the resources for saving all required images into your gallery, and if you only trust your host service, and if you DO NOT want to download images from other websites and upload them back manually into your gallery, and … It is just amazing! I cant even describe it. I am using this piece of gold for a news website, and it rocks!

I rarely give testimony about plugin for lack of time, but when the plugin is highly functional and pulp time and work, I always give a way to talk about the product. What is missing for this plugin be extramamente famous is people know that there is that kind of thing in wordpress. for making thumbnails of videos manually kill me long and hard work, before;; improved when I used a plugin that applied thumbnails remotely, but it is not lowered to my server and not work with the function featured images of wordpress (why not work on all themes), he showed the thumbnails remotely from other sites, via url but if the image was taken, or hotlinks protection applied several times for work were lost due to run out thumbnails, would lose the thumbnails! this one low and applies the thumbnals featured images via standard wordpress so pasting the URL of any image thumbnails around the web! Thank you so much!

its not what it says, it just upload image from url to your media library to use it as featured image. uploading from url meant to reduce space and bandwidth of server, not to upload in media library.
