By default when you click on a gigapedia link, it takes you to user comments about that item. If you are a user of gigapedia.com and use it to download all sorts of books you will be annoyed by this default behavior. You really are at gigapedia to download books, not to read comments about the posted link to that item.

So here is the remedy. This script will change all such URL's to the download page of the corresponding item. No more annoying wait for the comments page to load. Go directly to the download page. But don't forget to login to Gigapedia before you actually get a download page.
