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 ... 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 ... Perhaps Moonchild should contact CloudFlare regarding this? 4

Right! I use the full paid version. IDA is a good download manager and has been maintaining compatibility with Windows XP for years. 3

Reino Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Of course I wouldn't do that (and I never have). The point of my post was to show a free alternative to this download software. 2
Mathwiz Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 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?
Reino Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Assuming this question is for me, Xidel already does exactly that; download stuff sequentially. 2
Mathwiz Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 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.

If I want to download this video for example, what would be the code to do it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)
