You are missing my point the fact that they are clickable you can't copy and paste multiple links from here with out problems. If it is one link or if it is a link to the page where all the links are hosted no problem. Multiple links, you have to click go to page, click go to page and so on. It is possible but time consuming.

I use jDownloader and so does a lot of others around here including mimzy. You can copy all the links at once and load them into the jDownloader program. Our http://anonym.to/ program often prevents links that are click able from loading and says the links are dead when they are not. Understand?

recent example: https://www.first-loves.com/forums/v ... =53&t=8061
I copy and paste the links into jDownloader it says offline.

[Code] I copy and paste the links into jDownloader it says links are on line and I am now currently getting the download.

You're welcome to do this if you want but do we want to make DD easier to use? It's almost like an endorsement, plus when the original DD links die and/or are deleted, the code box will still be there.

Hey, I'm not pushing anything. All work is done completely voluntarily.

I was just annoyed when a DDL that I needed was edited out. There is no need to make life artificially more complicated than it is.

DDL doesn't prevent getting the file on eMule. If you fulfill a reshare request, it doesn't make a difference if you originally got the file via eMule or DDL. In fact, DDL increases the chances that you have the file in the first place. Every RELEASE needs an ed2k link.

Looks like Starfish is posting to Usenet. That's another way to get stuff fast ;)

It is voluntary and I'm sorry if anyone got a different impression. The other admins have just been very busy with real life lately.

The old board was pretty messy and cleaning it up was such a big a job nobody wanted to tackle it. It was time to knock down the cobwebs and shake out the rugs at the new FLM and we've made major progress thanks to the help of mimzy, starfish, ptguardian, vidman, For An Angel, sweetbay, and many others.

There's still a lot to be done and I hope some of you will continue to help. I hope some of the lurkers will help too, even if it's just a comment like "Hey, that was a great movie" or "I saw this when I was a kid and it scared the bejeebers out of me" or "Your nose runs and your feet smell"... ahem.
