how to add mirror
Posted: Sun May 28, 2023 11:56 pm
hi, so i'm trying to add many domains as mirrors while downloading (they're all slow and limit speed per ip, so getting different hosts will speed it up), but when trying to just click the link on the 2nd host i get an error "The download already exists"
.. and when I try to add with the "add mirror" button, it expects me to know the URL .. lots of download websites nowadays won't actually tell you the url until you click a button and it generates a unique one for you, which is automatically routed to the download manager, which then gives the above error instead of just merging the 2 domains into 1 download
the manager obviously can tell i'm trying to download the same file twice at the same time, why doesn't it just add the 2nd as a mirror automatically? or at least give some other option than "skip" (shown in image1), ex, what if I actually DO want to download the file twice, renamed, to see if they're actually the same hash and not just the same filename?
right now personally the only reason i want to use a download manager at all is to merge many different domain mirrors (mixdrop, anonfiles, uploadhaven, pixeldrain, files.fm) to download the same 1 file from all of them at the same time.
