FlashGot Improvement Suggestion

Post by 74Rob »

I appologise if this has already been suggested.

Often the underlying link and the displayed text are different, for example:

The displayed text might read: http://www.rapidshare.com/etc
but the underlying link is: http://www.redirect.com/etc (like urlcash)

When one or more links are selected and 'FlashGot Selection' is clicked, it tries to download the underlying links instead of using the displayed text as the link. This doesn't work because it can't find the Rapidshare link through the Redirect.

When 'FlashGot Selection' is clicked, it should ignore the underlying links and instead use the displayed text as the link. A new FlashGot entry in the right-click menu should be added 'FlashGot Selected Links' which would ignore the displayed text and download the underlying links. This would be how 'FlashGot Selection' works now but with a more accurate name.

Thank you,

Rob.

FlashGot already try its best to follow the redirections before sending out the links.
Could you point me the actual pages where you find this doesn't work.

[EDIT]
I just checked urlcash.net, support for it will be added in next release.
If you've got other examples, please add them here.
