Hello Alex
"Remote Control" users rarely use it and want to remove this feature.

can you add an option to recheck files, i had a torrent get stuck at 106mb of 245mb i found the file on normal download but i want to seed the file on torrent but i cant replace the FDM downloaded file.
found away to get it working, clicked abort and it checked the file automatically.

Hello,
Just don't use it if you don't need it. It's not active in any way in case it's not enabled.

thanks for such a great product .
i tried using idm to download videos from webplayers,i just can't use idm ,idk i am addicted to fdm ui,so hope fdm implements such features .

Dear Developers;

Why not following features
1. two separate add link buttons one for normal and second for parsing with elephant addon
2. Download popup button over web players

Why?
1. two separate button if present then redirection is easy and parsing for normal download takes less time to give download info.
2. Some sites (Video sharing) doesnot allow right click menu, so choose download video from right click popup menu is not possible. if a download button shows over/above web players then downloading could be easier.
OR
alternatively you can develop a fresh new dialog as media grabber to grab videos from web pages and there we choose what to download what not to.

thanks

It's not unusual to get this type of "error"

https://i.postimg.cc/wMyC4RHq/FDM.png

In this case, I was attempting to save a Mozilla support page,using the browser's "Save Page as" option

I use both the "Download with Free Download Manager" and "Free Download Manager extension" addons. I had to make them "inactive" from the toolbar buttons so the browser could successfully complete the job.

Is there a way to avoid the error? Is it advisable to use both addons?

Hello,
This error means that web server returned a web page. You can disable this kind of errors in FDM's settings.

Can I assume you're referring to this?

Are there any other settings that relate to this issue? Is there any risk associated with disabling it?

No. It's intended to help newbie users understand that something is going wrong.

Well, it's weird. FDM should not interfere in this case. What browser do you use?

Sorry, I didn't see this last response before. I use Firefox.

I'm a newbie so I have no idea how to check the technical details but I have windows 11 laptop and have used FDM for years on my mac. Now I start to download and after 30 seconds the app crashes and closes. I googled and never found a solution. I uninstalled and re-installed and after a few days its happening again. I use chrome and the latest version of FDM that I downloaded on this site...

Any idea why this happens?
