Can't download the installation files...

Tried to click the link from different browsers and even different computers... Also pasting it to other download managers... but no luck...

Is something broken?

Thank you.

What installation files and what link do you mean? I can't see any in your message.

Thank you.

Could you provide the links and the data on your system, browser and FDM version, please?

I just posted a ticket on this, and it seems to be the forward slash or other special characters that make the parser in FDM think that it is a folder it is trying to download instead of a file, and a folder that doesn't exist at that. Shows up as 0 bytes on ANY video I tried with a forward slash in it, and from the example videos people have linked, it seems to be a common factor.

another youtube video that won't download: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkzbokGbDHg

v5.1.34 build 6885, I have this version and check for update mention new update available.

I'm using Windows 7 x64 and FDM extension 3.0.6. There is nothing more to it than what I wrote before:

Thank you for the screenshot and additional explanations, we'll look into it.

Has the "show downloads info while in progress" widget ever been implemented in 5.1? It's been over two years. I check the release notes every so often and I've never seen it. In fact, I never see anything about any of the classic features everybody asked for in the suggestions thread, just "stability" or "bug-fix" updates.

There are conflicts with 3.9.7, so installing 5.1 to check it out is an absolute PITA. Not to mention, every time I have, I'm disappointed that none of the classic features have been integrated, so I have to reinstall 3.9.7 all over again.

Have any of these features (specifically the progress widget) been implemented and for some reason not mentioned in the release notes, or should I get used to the fact that they are never gonna happen and give up on 5.1 altogether?

The possible return of classic features is always on our radar, but bugfixes and stability improvements are a more immediate concern. This situation is unfortunately persistent.
