I am having a problem - and maybe it is just me. I am using Ubuntu 7.10, (and loving it,) and I am attempting to download flac-encoded tracks from the linnrecords.com site that I have purchased. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12, with the flashgot plugin installed. I have flashgot directing the download links to the Gwget Download Manager.
If I simply use firefox to save directly to disk, it works of course, and I get my flac file after each download. If however, I redirect the link to the download manager, instead what gets downloaded is a .aspx file! Ouch. I get this behavior with both Gwget and Kget-KDE4. Is this a bug in the flashgot plugin, or what? Why are the links being correctly handled by firefox, but the download managers cannot do it? I have not tried the DownThemAll plugin - would that work better? What are other Linux people doing to efficiently download a hundred tracks from Linn Records, such as the JS Bach Mathew Passion? By the way, I am finding that Gwget has other problems too, so I am a bit frustrated. This "download manager" thing ought to just work - or have I missed something? -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45421 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
