It does exactly what it says
Despite being an old plugin still work flawlessly and if you happen to generate pages for XML / CSV feeds import this plugin is great to extract those external images and saving into your local wp-uploads so that you are not using somebody else's images/bandwidth.

Worst concept - Advising to not to use
This is the worst concept I have ever seen. This plugin should be reported. I don't know what is the main concept of the plugin is. If you enable this plugin and start working with it, it downloads 1 content 100th of times or every time when someone visits the post. Even it consumes storage because everytime someone visits, first the plugin downloads and files to internally and then serve. Within the middle of the time, visitors need to wait for the download and serve the content. Therefore, SORRY TO SAY BUT, THIS IS A FLOP PROJECT.
