Internet Download Manager

I used to use IDM to manage all my downloads, I setup custom rules for funscripts. To be clear I am not using IDM to scrape anything just sort downloads into appropriate folders with more control that standard browser down loaders. IDM has a browser integration that is supposed to intercept all downloads (if you add rules for filetypes) instead of using the browser itself.

I wanted to ask if there has been some change on the site that is causing IDM to no longer work for funscripts. Interestingly I can still right click save link as and it will catch the download as before, but before I was able to simply click on the DL link and it would catch the download. I should add my main PC has been “in the shop” for weeks so I am using a different laptop. I’m not sure if this is a site change or if its an issue caused by a new setup on a different PC. As far I recall I setup IDM in the exact same way as before. I am using waterfox (firefox based browser)

i think the chromium browser is at fault. any download lower than 10mb or any single low size download is routed to browser download page before the idm plugin catches the link.

let me also add i use waterfox (firefox based)

I realized I didn’t need to deal with any of this download manager shit (none of them work with eroscripts) so instead I told Claude.ai to write me a powershell script that will organize my download folder, and send some specific file-types to my NAS. it took 22 iterations to get it right, but its lightweight, uses the default browser downloader and doesn’t require any additional applications.

I’ve noticed the same. I think it’s an app level issue. If you add funscript to the automatically start downloading list, it will capture the links again, but it also downloads automatically, which to me is also annoying.
