Please add option to store "PAGE LINK" with every download in the list.

Postby Faizan » Thu Jan 07, 2021 10:46 am

Page link is "NOT" same as download link.


Downloads Link - Which gives you a download ( example :: http://abc.....xyz.mp4)
Page Link - From where you get the download ( example :: http://abc.....xyz.html)


Sometimes if we downloading something big, it happens that the link expire after sometime (maybe after 10 min or maybe after 1 hour), and download wasn't completed.

Now it is not resuming, as the download link is updated and you have the old link.

Then how to Resume?

In that case we have the only option to change "Download URL" but we don't remember the exact web-page URL (from where the download was taken), especially if there are multiple downloads . :cry:

Then we have to browse history in browser to get the exact page link where i can get new download URL.

It will be very helpful if FDM store the page URL from where the download was taken.

Then it will be just a matter of click to navigate the exact page, "Open Download Page" option will open the webpage from where the download was taken, then just copy and updated new URL (whose link was expire) to resume download or hit download again FDM will resume.

When a download opens with FDM and you click the 3 dots to change the location - all you can see is folders and you can correctly choose a location but cannot see the files within the folder. In other download managers, they allow you to see those files - that way the user can find a specific folder and if a file is already in with the same name they can click it to add that as the name to save it (and then modify the name from there) or if kept the same as an existing filename a prompt appearing asking if I want to overwrite the current file with the new file or not. Currently the file downloads ok but adds a (1) next to it when there is an existing file and then the user must manually go to the directory to erase the old one and rename the new one. Many users have downloaded a program to a directory then download an update that may have the same identical name and would prefer to just notice there is an existing old version and wish to overwrite it via the fdm interface.

Hello,
You can set FDM to always overwrite already existing files, or ask what to do. See Options.

Thanks for adding "Open download page" option in menu, but it seems to be not working correctly.

Open Download Page option only opening domain, not the exact page.

Like I downloaded a stock video from -
https://elements.envato.com/abstract-diamond-1-PTSNAJQ

When I click open download page, practically it should open exact page -
https://elements.envato.com/abstract-diamond-1-PTSNAJQ

But it is opening -
https://elements.envato.com/

This is of no use, i already knows the domain.

Hello,
Sorry... It seems this is caused by a bug in the web browser's extension. We'll check it.

It seems it's a problem of web browser extension working in Chrome. It works fine in Firefox. We'll address it as soon as we have time.

There is a bug with this update, FDM is notifying about the update when I check for updates, FDM is trying to install the update, but when FDM relaunches itself, it is still in 6.13.2.3510
