Version 2.2

Bug fix: Changing the link checking limit would sometimes not allow you to check links unless you reloaded the page.

Version 2.2

• Added 'debug' mode.
• Improved header checks, link checks include images.
• Replaced GM_addStyle function.
• Preferences manager: improved error checking.
• CSS styles moved to lc_Prefs.
• Key events use built-in handleEvent.
• Some code clean-up.

@electBlake - Glad you like it, I only upload this for you people so an occasional comment is nice. Here comes more documentation...

Sleep? What's that?
Glad you figured it out, what a relief I don't need to worry about it.
I really don't want to put personal info here where it can be indexed by Google.
Thanks for the info and let me know of any problems. I look forward to chatting with you sometime.

I'll post my contact info up above, where I can delete or change it later.
The script works for me, but I'll try to get a "debug mode" added to the script today, so anyone else that has a problem with it can post the info here.

I think maybe I know what I changed to cause it to "takes all traffic", I'm not sure and it's real hard to test, but I only changed a couple things.
RS makes it real hard since they don't respect request headers correctly, and Greasemonkey doesn't support abort in GM_xmlhttpRequest, so the best thing do do is to request 0 bytes.
I'll have that fix uploaded in a moment. Also I'm adding some debugging code.

@Automat1kkk
I don't understand what is showing undefined, you should never see that. Maybe you have another script or add-on that is removing the link check info box (because it is a floating div). Can you disable all other scripts and add-ons and let me know?
If you continue to have troubles maybe we can chat elsewhere.

version 2.1

• Fixed the "double counting" error.
• Fixed the link check delay so that it actually introduces a delay between each check.

Correction: I removed 'onmousedown' for some links because one site was changing the link location when I clicked on it.

The changes I can remember...

version 2.0

• Removed the Check RS Links Now menu command.
• Removed the "only check links" function - it was only for testing.
• Added a link checking status box.
  Shows total checked, total good and bad as they are being checked.
• Removed the link limit pop-up warning.
• Added link limit message in the status box.
• Added support for modifier keys - Alt, Ctrl and Meta.
• Added the Preference manager.
  Preferences can be changed via a menu command and are then stored in the browser's prefs.js file.

version 1.4 - never uploaded here

• Improved RS text URL parsing.
  Will match subdomains like www.
  Reduces URL to "base file name" - the shortest URL possible.
• Included both lix.in "hiding" methods in link checking.
• Removed 'onmousedown' for some links.
  Apparently I ran into a site that added this handler - was getting pop-ups when I clicked the link, but I didn't add it to all links, so I must have forgot about it.
• Added hot key "A" to linkify text URLs only.
  This doesn't check links.
• Added hot key "S" to open selected text URL.
  Highlight any text and this key attempts to open it in a new tab.
  This function will remove any spaces in the selected text before attempting to open it.
• Added a link checking limit.
• Added a link check delay.
  This feature is currently broken
• Included other minor updates mentioned previously.

Thanks for that, FaeGiN, I updated the script.
Version 2.0 is a major update that adds some new functions and improved link parsing, probably some bug fixes as well.
I'll be updating the description shortly.

If you have a problem using Rapidshare, ask Rapidshare or the person that provided the link.

Now you get an alert pop-up when it hits 100 (non-duplicated) links.
This wasn't as easy as I had originally thought, but at least I checked it better this time.

OK, it's working now, I had to make a few changes.
I noticed it was skipping over "WWW" links so I fixed that.

Rather than slow the script down, I made it so that it only checks 100 links at a time.
Press Shift+R again check the next 100 links.
There is little indication of when the checks complete, so you need to wait or watch you Internet activity. I could probably add an alert when the max number is reached (I just thought of that), however I don't know any practical way of knowing when the checks have completed.
You can change the value of
var lc_Limit = 100;
if you want / need to.

Yes, it does do that. I think I have to put a delay in it to slow the script down. It's not the script that is the problem, but apparently RS is blocking many bad requests, probably to prevent "file name guessing" by search bots.
