Can NOT Update Download URL and SOLUTIONS

Postby SemiZhang » Wed Feb 23, 2022 2:39 pm

After a download stop due to a server outage, some servers need to reacquire the download link.
FDM now has the function to update the link, but it is not operational in practice.

Reacquiring the download link (clicking the download button) will invoke FDM again, and usually the "New Download" window will be displayed (on the first download).

In the case that the link needs to be updated, the corresponding file already exists in the download list, and a warning message "This download already exists" will be displayed. There is only one "Skip" button on this warning window. The new download URL is displayed in this warning message window, but cannot be copied.

So the solution should be:
1. Waiting to be called by the browser and use the next link captured as the update link. (IDM's approach)
or
2. Make URL in "This download already exists" message's window copyable.

Hello,
Single "Skip" option means that your existing download should be updated and resumed (started) automatically.
Is it not true in your case?
