Option to disable all link redirection
Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 11:30 pm
Is it possible to disable all the link modification/redirection done by flashgot before the links are passed to the download manager?
I know you can disable specific hosts by manually addings a pref in about:config, but that is quite cumbersome.
If not possible already, I'm sure this would be a useful option, also in the GUI for less experiences users.
With download managers like jdownloader, which has all kinds of link processing built in, the preprocessing done by flashgot may not only be redundant but also counterproductive.
For example it may add links that are only valid temporaryily and of course there may be bugs:
The redirection of ul.to links in the current version seems to be broken if links include an additional /file/:
ul.to/file/bla is redirected to uploaded.to/file/file/bla, rendering the link invalid.
