My gosh, lack of punctuations...

Anyway, are you using IE? Because if so, download managers like FDM and Flashgot are programmed to intercept download links when they detect one in IE.

Though I remember that all these monitoring can be disabled in any of the download manager's options. Just find the Monitor tab, and uncheck the box that reads 'Internet Explorer'.

Behold the possibilities ! The end is merely the start of a new history !

Hotwire, you have been a member for nearly three years, I am surprised you haven't figured this out by now...

Allow me to explain to you a little bit about how the Internet works.
Your browser sends a request to my server, and my server sends a response.
When your browser makes a request, it includes its own User Agent details.
User Agent is text that identifies software used by your browser, as well other information.
If you have FDM in your user agent, my website denies you access.

This is a choice I have made in order to protect the website.
Before I made this choice, the website was constantly crashing due to the damaging effects of download accelerators such as FDM.
If you would rather each page take over a thousand seconds to load, I can disable the security system.

For your information, download acceleration is an evil and bad technology.
There is no justified reason to use download acceleration except to greedily snatch up as much of a web server's resources as possible, at the expense of other users.

My goal is to allow all of my users to EQUALLY share the services provided by my website.

Anyone who attempts to take more than their fair share of resources will be promptly and severely punished without the slightest bit of remorse on my part.

EDIT: For the record, hotwire was banned for FAILURE TO READ THE FAQ before posting in the forum!
