The download starts some time after clicking on the file\version of the video; which results in the fact that if I close the window of the video - before the download starts - the download doesn't start.
Who knows how many videos I've missed before discovering this problem.
I'm not sure if in the past it didn't exist.
Anyway - is there a possibility to have the download start even if I close the window?

Explain?
You're using FlashGot Media?
What download manager?
Why is there an appreciable delay before the video starts downloading (such that you're able to close the window before the download starts)?
I would think that if you have the download link, it will still be valid - even if you close the window - until the link itself goes stale.

I don't know why there's a delay; that's why I'm asking here.
I just checked the download-manager; it was cURL; and I changed it to the default browser's (FireFox).
It seems to have fixed it.
Thanks.
