Can this be done?

Postby goran712 » Fri Dec 24, 2010 11:25 am

Hello there,I have a question to admin. When I get in roms download,and the go to roms list,I must first click the rom and then in new tab chose download file....can it be done that I just click rom from list and it gets downloaded? It is really a pain in the ass to go separatly in and out for every rom...

Thanks in advance

To prevent people from using download managers to scrape 1000's of roms and kill bandwidth we have to use a click to download page.

That said, remember that the click to download page is a seperate page. So to speed up your downloading, leave the download page open each time you click on it. That way you just click on download after choosing the rom you want.

Hope that makes sense.

Actually, that's a very smart way of stopping site rippers from doing their jobs. 0.o

Well,it would be nice if it could get available to UMembers. But anyway,I understand why it is disabled and it is good to protect site from mass downloaders.

Not a bad idea. It would be a nice benefit for Unlimited Users. Hmmm :think: not sure how I could program that.

Thanks for your understanding and input.

The only thing i can think of is maybe creating a seperate site that has the click to download thing that REQUIRES a login to acess but that would require a huge amount of work and time, no?
That's me
