Would be useful if the author mentioned some sites this script could be used on...

Rod: I believe your problem might be solved if the URL is unescaped _after_ isolating the final destination instead of before. That is, replace the last line with this (untested):

links.snapshotItem(i).href = unescape(links.snapshotItem(i).href.replace(/^.*\?.*(http(:\/\/|%3A%2F%2F)[^&]+).*$/i, "$1"));

does not work for this link:

http://go.fark.com/cgi/fark/go.pl?IDLink=182599...

Transforms it to:

http://www.westpress.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?node...

instead of:

http://www.westpress.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?node...
