Downloading Coded Links (ALL AT ONCE)

~{Downloading Coded Links}~

First off this tutorial I (Cuzabis) made is for FireFox users! IE users... GET WITH IT!

The reason we code links is to make the downloads look a lot cleaner. It is also much easier to test links that are in code. Also Coded links are not abreviated like normal URL's
ex: http://this.is.not.a.real.*********it...gsomething.rar
or
http://this.is.not.a.real.*********it.is.a.fake.I.made.for.you/somethingsomething.rar
To make CODED LINKS clickable: Download and install firefox update: Linkification
This nifty addon will make any weburl clickable on any page! (these links are recognized with Downthemall: Firefox Extension.

Already thats easier then copying them one by one eh?

OK now you can use one of two downloaders (I tried others these work best)

THESE METHODS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR PREMIUM ACCOUNTS, NO FREE DOWNLOADS!

~{Method 1}~
You can download the download manager FLASHGET (much better then getright, less bloaded)
But to use it with firefox you need the addon FLASHGOT

Then once the addon (flashgot) and Flashget are installed.
  1. Highlight all the links in the codebox
  2. RightClick the Links
  3. Select FLASHGOT SELECTION, or if you have installed the linkification addon I described above, you can use "FlashGot ALL" this will bring up a list of all the links on the current page.
  4. Make sure all your files are checked off in flashgot and click OK
  5. Select your download folder, and all settings will be used for all files (option)

I have noticed sometimes with this and any other download manager, when downloading from Rapidshare, if you do not start the connection imediatly, the files may download 5KB junk files. Sometimes this means the links are dead, but a lot of times flashget waited to long and now your download link has changed (rapidshare changes download links often----direct download links that is... the links posted never change)
~{Method 2}~
Because sometimes with Flashget you get those 5k junk files. This would be my more favorite download manager!
This will only work with the linkification addon I posted above!!!
  1. Download and install DOWNTHEMALL Firefox addon from here:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
  2. Rightclick anywhere on the page and select DOWNTHEMALL (or DTA ONECLICK - DTA 1click will download all the files to the same folder as the last time you used downthemall)
  3. Select your download location and let her rip

THIS WILL NEVER DOWNLOAD 5KB JUNK FILES!!! If you get 5kb files, did you test the links?? Didn't think so, your links are dead or you have run out of bandwidth. This downloadmanager is directly incorporated into FireFox and will never get a 'misconection' like Flashget above!

I have noticed that if you have too many files going at once, it really sucks back your bandwidth and makes your internet slow. This is why I always try with flashget first and only use DTA when I get 5kb junk files (I always test)
HINT
If you are using Flashget and you get 5kb files, and you know the links worked (you tested them, you should always test!) simply rightclick the downloaded file and select "Browse Refferer" this will open the page where you downloaded the file from, and you can then use DOWNTHEMALL to download your missing parts... This is rare, but it does happen... Updating your flashget often will prevent this!
