"FlashGot All" doesn't work on a certain page

[Ilya]

Specifically, on

Code: Select all

http://people.apache.org/committers.html

Clicking "FlashGot All" there starts Flashgot - I can see the Flashgot progress bar, but nothing happens then, i.e. no list with downloadable object appears.

Is that a bug or do I need to change some preference(s)?

Thanks.

[user]

It works for me with the default settings and ReGet Deluxe. So it could be anything: preferences, download manager, disk space, RAM, etc. I'd start with examining the log(s).

Thanks for answering. Here's the entry that is added to the logfile after I try the above-mentioned "FlashGot All" command.

Code: Select all

(I replaced some text with "***").
Honestly speaking, it doesn't give me any clues on about what to do to solve the issue. Perhaps someone who knows better could explain.

No problem here either using FlashGot 1.5.5.1, FlashGet (1.65) on Firefox 10.0.12. The download list is created as expected and the FlashGet dialog appears.

WFM too.
(Not sure what you're looking to get from that page, but... it does send a list of items to my download manager.)

What download manager are you using?

Does it work if you were to create a new, clean Profile & only install FlashGot?


OK, FlashGot All does fail on that page when using Browser Built In.
Perhaps it has something to do with the number of items found, >2,000?

As you say, you get the progress bar & nothing more.
And what appears to be a truncated Log, but perhaps that is normal for Browser Built In.
And nothing in Error Console?


So, at this point, I'd say to try an actual download manager.

The Browser Built In one.

No, doing that didn't help - FlashGot behaved absolutely the same way, and the entry that was added to the logfile is pretty much the same:

Thanks for saying that - at least now I know it doesn't work not only for me.
I tried to find a preference in about:config that would have to do with the number of items found, but without success.

As you say, you get the progress bar & nothing more.
And what appears to be a truncated Log, but perhaps that is normal for Browser Built In.
And nothing in Error Console?

It seems every time I perform any FlashGot-related action (download something, go to FlashGot options, switch Download Managers and so on), two or more messagges with the same text are generated:

Code: Select all

No chrome package registered for chrome://dta-modules/content/support/filtermanager.js

So, at this point, I'd say to try an actual download manager.

Swithing Download Manager to GetRight didn't help either:

Code: Select all

[therube]

Try http://www.downthemall.net/, should work.

Thanks a lot, therube, DownThemAll worked just okay.

Still I hope the author of FlashGot reads this topic one day and patches the extension (if what I encountered was a FlashGot bug, of course).

Thanks everybody for answering.

[user]

Yep, it's a FlashGot bug (two bugs actually). But the thing is, you don't want to use the built-in manager for 2k links. I tried it with 150 links, and the browser just went swapping for several minutes, rendering my machine unusable. Here's the patched version, in case you still want it:

Code: Select all

http://rghost.net/private/47694067/b02c531cc181198fe5b737425800cff6

Just don't forget to delete your XUL cache (the startupCache folder).

[Ilya]

Here's the patched version, in case you still want it

Yes, I want it, and thank you very much for that patched version, user.

DownThemAll downloads files significantly faster, but still it's nice to have a version of FlashGot that works correctly.

[Giorgio Maone]

Please check latest development build 1.5.5.6rc1 (thanks to both the reporter and the patcher).
