Downloads from Sourceforge.net do not work
Downloads from Sourceforge.net do not work
Hi, I just trashed GetRight for FDM, great app!
BUT: when I try to download files from sourceforge.net,
like e.g. 7-Zip: When I select a download-mirror,
only the html-spider is downloaded, not the file itself.
The spider contains a meta-refresh to the actual file.
This link should get 7-zip from the dublin mirror, but
FDM will dl the html-spider:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/seve ... ror=heanet
This could be the same bevaviour as has been mentioned
here before for other dl-sites.

OK. Well, actually the problem is the page before:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/seve ... e?download
not only does this dl the html-spider, but also freezes up FDM
(90% ProcessorTime due to Sysinternal's ProcessExplorer).
Only killing the FDM-Task in ProcessExplorer will stop FDM here.
Wonder why FDM freezes. (WinXP SP2 here, latest FDM).
