Rules for downloads from some websites to be blacklisted

Post by avelenu »

Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to blacklist certain websites from being intercepted by "Intercept All Downloads". Some websites don't work with the download manager I'm using (DownThemAll) (for example Mega, Font Squirrel's Webfont Generator, some filesharing websites) and so I'd like them to not be intercepted by FlashGot. Any thoughts on how to do that? Thank you! (Right now I've just been using another browser for them, but that's a little cumbersome.)

Don't know that there is a way to do it?

Though sounds like a worthy RFE.

I've run into sites that will not allow a download manager.
I'll typically forget which site it is though.
So I'll attempt once, failing, but after that attempt they'll usually have a timeout period before a second attempt is allowed, which you then cannot attempt until the timeout has passed, which sucks.

On particular sites, say, flv, will not download with Net Transport, but others file types, like mp4, will. Though the flv will download with DTA or browser built-in. With those, I may often end up switching (FlashGot Media) download mangers based on the file type.

Other sites may not work with a download manager at all, but will with browser built-in (& sometimes DTA).
