    Hi Im curious about a few things.. :(:p

    My download manager Flashget requires that I click a direct link to a download file.. i.e. a link to "blahblah.exe" rather than a Javascript to an auto download page.. is there any way round this?
    :eek:
    Is it possible to copy to the clipboard from the status bar?.. ie.. when I hover over a link, i see the target address at the bottom .. is it possible to get this copied without looking at it and writing it down for example!!

    Finally also.. whats the story with WMA files.. why cant i just right click and "save target as".. :cool: :cool:

    if you are using Firefox, you should get the FlashGOT extension for it. I presume your getting flashget to download the page rather than let the page re-direct to where the file actually is.

    By the way there are download links for that Zelda clip on that page so you can save it. Some formats are streaming and try to prevent you from saving them. You can get around most but easily enough, by finding the downloaded file in your browser cache, some others require other programs to catch the stream but its not really worth the effort :S
