extabit issues

Here are some issues about host extabit:

1. frd does not wait properly for the next free download.
How to reproduce:
Try to download one file and stop it when downloading. Then start another download, you will get a message from the page:

Quote

Next free download from your ip will be available in 15 minutes. Get premium, if you don't want to wait.

But in frd, the message is:

Quote

ERROR - Tag Containing 'click here to download' was not found!

frd does not show the wait time count down like RS host and never retry download the link.

2. dead links shows "No download mirror" on extabit.
But frd still think it is alive and shows

Quote

ERROR - Tag Containing 'click here to download' was not found!

example link:
[extabit.com]

Thanks very much for writing such a useful program!

I'm using the latest FRD (0.83u1) on a Mac with OS X 10.5 and the latest plugin for extabit (1.0.3). The main plugin page says that it is working and it sort of is (in that it actually does download a file from freerapid). It does not work for any downloads after the first unless you manually resume the download like shawn8888 has mentioned above.

Main problems:
1) The plugin is not seeing the wait time that is returned from extabit and waiting for that time. Instead it gives the error message as mentioned above:

Quote

ERROR - Tag Containing 'click here to download' was not found!

2) It is not handling the captcha prompt. It needs to be manually entered.

There are a lot of large (multiple part) downloads at [minthrea.net] that are only on extabit's file hosting site. I can not find these on any other file-hosting site.

here are a few links. Again, it is the captcha and the wait time for the second download that is the problem:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Thanks again for freerapid. It is a wonderful time saving tool!
