Note: Only been tested on Firefox Greasemonkey.

ToDo list

  • [--] Clean up code

    • -- Scrapped Ideas --

  • Add code check for broken links (like above. requires get http)

    • Anything else please suggest.

    Irfan Gazi, you need the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox. Then just click the install button to install.

    Thanks for telling me. I'll take a look at it. It seems esnips has yet again changed the way it links its files.

    if you installed this version 2.2.0 for firefox version of greasemonkey, it should be working. the link should show up as 'javascript:void(0)' and if you click on it, it should download the file.

    No, it isn't working. At least, it seems completely and totally broken.

    I can't get the DL link to appear. I'm using Opera and have the .user.js script in C:\js\, where Opera is configured to look for scripts.

    Fixing it would be very, very greatly appreciated, I have a near impossible to find soundtrack (never given an official release, at that!) to download.

    Nice move on esnips implementing their own flash player instead of using crappy windows media player. Since no one is saying anything, I'm guessing the script still works and I'm not gonna bother to update anything.

    If you're using another 'automatic update script' all I can tell you from experience is that it's buggy and crap lol. I've tried those before and they don't seem to work too well, that's why I have implemented a built-in update script that's specifically for this script. I plan to do this for other scripts that I'm going to release.

    This is for those who do not have a download manager, or if they did, this script provides the ability to batch download.

    decided xpath wasn't necessary. i whipped this up pretty quickly so the code looks mad ugly. i haven't tested if this works for folder browsing yet, but i'll look into that soon too. thanks for the suggestions.

    Phanboy Script's author

    Ah, nice idea. Yes it is possible with a little xpathing. I've been meaning to get around too it, but I didn't think anyone else would need it. I'll post an update sometime today, hopefully.
