Download Managers & WinCustomize
Tuesday, August 7, 2001 by Tarkus | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm using FlashGet as my download manager. Has anyone been able to get it to 'catch' downloads on WinCustomize without having to drag the download link to FG's DropZone?

It is possible to use Getright on WC downloads without using the Drop Target!!!
Just hold Ctrl+Alt down when you click the download link and give each download a different name (like 1, 2, 3, etc etc) and everything's ok!!

I figured out how to download to FlashGet without using the drop target. The key is to *not* use the "Download" link, but to simply click on the thumbnail.
The regular download link has a bunch of garbage tacked onto the end, which confuses FlashGet. The thumbnail has the regular file extension on the end, so FlashGet is able to see it.
Of course, you have to add all the odd file extensions to FlashGet, such as .dxpack and .wba, so it knows about them.
I would imagine this all holds true for other download managers, too.
