Great!

Thank you! This plugin works well. I wish there was a way to add more than one link at a time. Perhaps this already exists? I will look around to see.
It works. Here are some ideas for improvement

No support for bulk uploads, i.e. 5 at a time.
Also, it takes you to the media page after successful upload. There should be a button “Add from URL” next to the factory button “Add New” at the top of this type of page.
Add these features, and you’ll get my 5 stars. Great work.
