Dear User!

Please provide the download link you try to catch.

Any link. Here's example:
http://turbobit.net/download/free/4yzn93omzvkv#

Same with 3.0.6 . Please fix the broken skip list!

You are right. WebExtension still catches links from the skip list. It seems that it still breaks some javascript code on web pages (possibly with login forms or deliberately ill design).

Extension v3.0.6 seems to be working a lot better!
Now I can loginto my cellphone company's page and it seems it stopped catching random images and files it shouldn't

Dear User!

After clicking on the link, the website redirects to a subdomain.

Extension 3.0.6 is not catching clicks on some sites, for example, here: http://www.progettosnaps.net/samples/

click on any sample, the link is not catched.

also failing on majorgeeks.com

But majorgeeks.com also redirects to subdomains and skiplist works there.

Just upgraded to firefox 57.0.1 and now the extension is catching clicks on majorgeeks again...

FDM seems to be using a LOT of cpu.

Dear User!

Please indicate how much CPU exactly does FDM use? You can find the information in the task manager.
Please send us the dump of the process.

Up to 18% of my 3GHz Quad core. downloading one file it starts at 12.5% (half a core) and goes up from there.



Which is a lot more than it used to.

Interestingly / oddly, this maybe dependent on whether it is a child of the firefox process or not. Because i'm using it now and it's only using 10% NOT as a child of firefox.

Humble Bundle seems to work OK now with WebExtension v.3.0.6. Anybody willing to test aliexpress?

the extension works better now, it's not catching random images or files anymore, but on the other hand, it is also not catching links it should catch.
for example, anything on www.progettosnaps.net

You can use "Download with FDM" from the context menu.
There are no direct links there, but there are still links with NO extension. See software list http://www.progettosnaps.net/softwareresources/ and example below (note link with no extension in bold):
http://www.progettosnaps.net/download?tipo=resource_SL_snap&file=http://www.progettosnaps.net/softwareresources/packs/channelf.zip
Path to file is passed as one of parameters in URL (see italics in the URL above) and they are redirected using PHP on the server side. Actions that follow redirection may depend on browser settings, so you can also change them.
Click any link, Firefox should open a dialog window like on the image below:

Choose "Open with" and select FDM from the pull-down list. Firefox will remember the selection during the browser session and won't ask for the next URLs of the same type until you close the browser. If you want to make selection persistent also when reopen Firefox, just mark "Do this automatically…" and FDM will catch redirected links any time from now on.
Later on you can reset this setting in Firefox options – open Options page, go to Applications tab, find needed file type (rar, zip etc.) and select "Always ask" from the pull-down list.

sorry, that doesn't work. all it does is open fdm's main window.
