Using a download manager when the file path is hidden

07-25-2006, 03:11 PM

I've found some sites (eg fistinglessons.sweetmembers.com) where there are huge vid files to download. The download manager I normally use (Free Download Manager) can't find the file, it just tries to save something called video.php, so I have to rely on Internet Explorer's own downloading facility, but it invariably jams halfway through. Can anyone give me any advice on finding the actual file path so I can use a download manager for these things?

Flashget works the best in my opinion, next would be getright, find a good, private warez board (there are quite a few, harder to find, require contribution but hold posters responsible for infected files thus you get the best with much less risk) and any will have FG, some will have GR.

Actually Flashget is now completely freeware without any advertisements.

Code:

As for a good board, this is one of the better public boards:

Code:

http://bbs.betabbs.com/index.php?

And finally, I'm not sure in Firefox or IE but with Opera I can right click any image, movie or file and it lets you copy the URL to clipboard. Also, when downloading it in transfer window you can snag URL. Basically, get a better browser. ;)
