gwget + flashgot all

[ubuntu user]

I'm having a problem with the Flashgot all option as it only downloads the .html page without downloading the linked images on the page. However Flashgot link works and so does using Flashgot all with wget as it downloads the linked images on the page, is there something I'm missing?

URL of the page you are downloading from?
What version of gwget are you running?

Do a FlashGot All on the page.

(Open) view flashgot.fgt.done (or similarly named file in Linux & probably within your %TMP% directory).
See if it contains the correct (JPG among other) links, like:

Code: Select all

If so, then FlashGot All is correctly seeing "all".

Assuming the JPGs are listed, & since FlashGot All & wget works, then I'd look at the settings in gwget.

@ubuntu user:
please ignore therube's last post, he was referring to the general behavior of most FlashGot download manager adapters.
The gwGet's is a special one, since gwGet accepts only one URL on the command line but inherits the recursive features of wGet.
Therefore, in the "FlashGot All" case, FlashGot passes only the main page's URL and expects gwGet to follow the links.
However, since gwGet doesn't support cookie passing on the command line, if some links are protected they'll fail.

Ah, OK.

When I was reading the description, I didn't realize that. Though "recursivity" did stand out.

Recursivity: Gwget detects when you put a html, php, asp or a web page dir in the url to download, and ask you to only download certain files (multimedia, only the index, and so on).

So in this case, with FlashGot All, the "first line" in flashgot.fgt.done contains the website URL http://shanachan.konosutekinabasho.net/v/res/13508.html, & that & only that is what ends up being passed to gwget. And from there, gwget itself parses the links found on that webpage. Presumably presenting you with some sort of dialog to select various file types to download.

(So maybe there are settings in the Recursive Preferences page that do need to be set?)

(Using NetTransport 1.94, I deslected the "cookie" checkbox & re-downloaded the 4 JPGs. I assume that by deselecting cookies, that none was sent? Disabled referrer too, & still was able to download. <I know the referrer to have been disabled.>)
