Stop redirects

Post by sizzled » Tue Mar 01, 2016 11:57 am

Hi

I am trying to download a number of files:

http://www.somerandomfiles.com/Pic1
http://www.somerandomfiles.com/Pic2..........

If the link exists, it downloads happily.

If the link does not exist, the website sends it to a different landing page.

My problem is that FDM changes the link from

http://www.somerandomfiles.com/Pic2 to http://www.somerandomfiles.com/newlandingpage

so, I am unable to export genuine urls, of the links that had issues, as they all show http://www.somerandomfiles.com/newlandingpage rather than the initial url.

Is there anyway to stop FDM:

1. changing the link address? So that I know which links, I need to amend.
2. if the site tries to redirect, just to skip the download?

Many thanks
