Windows 10 (take your pick, but I conducted the tests on 20H2, and am now on 21H1) FDM Version: 6.14.1.3935 (f040724) Firefox Nightly (it updates 3-4 times a day, no real customizations, other than making Duck Duck Go my default search engine, removing all other search engines, and installing Panora...

Yes, it is new, and I for one absolutely prefer it this new way.

I do agree, though, that this should be a user-selectable option.

Agreed. IIRC, I believe I asked the same thing a long time back. The answer was ... not really satisfactory to me, but it's not my board, so....

Not with the above links. If you did try those in Firefox, you'd see exactly what I'm seeing. Even with uninstall / reinstall / clean install / clean profile.

Yeah, for some reason my Chrome browser was not working correctly with addon installed. I only realized it late, after testing a lot.

As for Firefox - it's Firefox. Love / hate relationship.

Thanks for the reply, Alex.

It's (probably) going to have to do with the Windows UI settings in each account, although it might be related to a particular app, or even (one of) the users account itself. Check not only Windows Explorer folder settings, but also perhaps things like antivirus settings, and perhaps even something ...

Because the boards are set up to allow guest posting. And because of that, some people don't realize that they have been logged out because they can still post, and some people post as Guest just because they can, and some people think ti is their inalienable right to be able to say what they want a...

Maybe a better spot for this post is viewforum.php?f=3

In windows 10, If you open a windows run dialog box and use forward slashes instead of backslashes, Windows explorer still opens the correct folder. Same thing if you type in a path in Explorer. So c:\Windows == c:/Windows The space could simply be a typo on the user's part, when adding in the "...

No worries, man. Enjoy!

Those are .ZIPped and .tar.gz'd archives of the source code, not the raw source itself unarchived. Are they archives of current source code or some archived build? In the first case they are created on-the-fly, with some delay - it's a case similar like in another topic: https://www.freedownloadman...

Those are .ZIPped and .tar.gz'd archives of the source code, not the raw source itself unarchived. As for the files and left versus right - I know this. Again, it's inconsistent and I want to rule out once and for all that it is FDM causing the issue. Because it happens across the board, yet randoml...

Thanks for the reply. I am confused by bother the forum and the replies. Does this mean I have to know how long the file is going go download before I can schedule it? Nick No - but you need to account for more than just click, download and done. Here is a basic document that details what happens w...

Yup. I anticipated some of those problems, which is why I used Git Hub links plus the Kurt Zimmerman website for the comparisons, to minimize the differences. I've run into several websites where the filename isn't in the DL link, and if I try to force them through FDM by right clicking on the link,...

OS, broadband speed, latency, etc. - the usual stuff you check if your internet is seemingly running slowly, really. Most other info, like browser and whatnot is really not applicable since you gave the direct link, and anyone with FDM could copy the link and add it directly to FDM, bypassing the br...
