If I select the hotfile links here:
http://dl.phazeddl.com/2654307/Scott_Pi ... orld_2010/

for each file:
http://hotfile.com/dl/63879604/4f4dda3/ ... .partN.rar. html

i also get a:
http://hotfile.com/dl/63879606/d930a4a/ ... .partN.rar.

in the download manager (DTA).

Bug?

I think what is happening is that when you FlashGot Link, it "resolves" the link, dropping the .html & only returning the .rar.

When you FlashGot Selection things are more ambiguous. You may only want the .rar's, but it has no way of knowing your intentions, so returns both the .html's & the .rar's.

Would think you should be able to filter the .html out with your download manager?

Mmm. Maybe it's not FG's fault after all.

I just noticed that the anchor tag value (erroneously) has a space character between "rar." and "html".

Code: Select all

<a href="http://hotfile.com/dl/63879606/d930a4a/Scot_Pilgrim_Against_The_World_2010.part1.rar.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://hotfile.com/dl/63879606/d930a4a/Scot_Pilgrim_Against_The_World_2010.part1.rar. html</a>
So if the FG Selection command just scans for valid url patterns, it is probably behaving correctly.

Lousy html.
