Latest Serpent 55.0.0 exhibits the exact same issue :( ...

Damned they be! :realmad: They plainly reject the UA sent by Serpent 52/55 ...

Edit: It's the "Goanna/*" UA slice they really object to :angry: ...

WT*? :realmad: I bumped on another online dictionary service,

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/

that also blocks UXP-based browsers:

As in the case linked (ldoceonline.com), the part of the UA they object to is the "Goanna/*" slice :angry: ...
Seeing the access to that last site is managed by CF, I expect more sites to become inaccessible in Goanna-based browsers if the block is a new CF-wide filter rather than a said-site specific configuration :o ...

Perhaps Moonchild should contact CloudFlare regarding this? :dubbio:

I get a mega crisis every time any CF check is to be done in my browsers. :realmad:

the English version is called Internet Download Accelerator.

Recollecting from memory (must've been 5 years or more since I last used it ;) ), it used to be that the Russian "edition" (DM) was full-featured (for mainland Russia market), whereas the int'l version of the app (i.e. IDA) had a "crippled" free version, unlocking the full features required a paid (PRO) licence :rolleyes: ...

Right! I use the full paid version. IDA is a good download manager and has been maintaining compatibility with Windows XP for years. :wub:

I think it is processed in server side by dropping connection when Goanna/ user agent is received.

Or you could go command-line with the free XML/HTML-parser Xidel:

xidel "http://o.rthost.win/palemoon/"^
      -f "//a[starts-with(.,'palemoon-28') and contains(.,'xpmod-sse')]/@href"^
      --download .

This for instance would download all palemoon 28 (sse) archives in the current dir.

Please, whenever possible, avoid batch-downloading from "o.rthost.win":

your concurrent download sessions eats up all my server's bandwidth

Well, no; but someone might read your post and try it, not realizing the problems it causes for @roytam1.

Is there an easy way to download multiple versions sequentially vs. concurrently, so the downloader doesn't eat up all the server's bandwidth?

Good! In that case your script shouldn't cause a problem then.

IDA, OTOH, apparently does do concurrent downloads (at least the paid version) so be careful with it. Hopefully there's some way to limit the number of simultaneous downloads.

Hi Reino, does xidel work for downloading videos?
If I want to download this video for example, what would be the code to do it?
