Hey, for some reason flashgot wont find the media unless I click over each link in which the media is contained in. It used to find all the media at once and I would download all the mp3's at one time. Now it will only enable Flashgot Media if i click on the actual link. How can I grab all the MP3's at one time without having to click each link.... it was working fine a few weeks ago

They may have changed their resource structure so that the links are not pre-exposed in the page code and needs to be initiated for it to become visible. If you actually give us a page or something to test, it would be easier to answer.

thanks for the quick reply, the link is from a recordpool in which i pay for monthly, however instead of clicking on each image to download the track, i would rather capture all the links to the files directly at once so i can download all files at one time... as of now i must click each link to file before flashgot can see the media

That's because the link to the actual resource, that is likely hashed on being delivered instead of a fixed location, needs to be generated on the fly, hence why the clicking is needed. Now you can try using FlashGot media Build Gallery to see if that will perhaps provoke enough request to initialize the tracks for you and then you can grab them all but otherwise, if the link to the resource is not actually there for FG to parse, there is nothing else it can do.

Unfortunately it has no ability to predict where they will be but only where they ARE based on the data it retrieves from the page. In your case, that data isn't showing up until AFTER you initialize the link. It sucks, I get it, but the sites often do it for the exact same reason to make it a little harder to get them in bulk, they are already being defeated and you are able to download, they are minimizing the load by trying not to give you batch access to it at least.
