FRD also supports a portable feature where everything will be stored in the installation directory in a subfolder. Uncomment (remove the #) the line that says "#--portable" in startup.properties. You'll then have to copy the configuration files to the new configuration directory if you want to keep them.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
FRD uses the download target folder while downloading. It doesn't save downloaded data anywhere else as far as I know.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Features
No. The problem is that Google's whole business model is based on detecting legitimate ad views. Now they're applying the same algorithm to ReCaptcha. It's not worth even considering trying to trick it.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Could you attach YouTubeSettings.xml (if any) and the log file (Help > Browse to log file) after trying to save the settings?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Actually, Google detects FRD as a bot as tong2shot said, and sends an unreadable captcha, so I guess it is a problem with FRD. This has been a problem for a while now.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
There can also be a weird issue where the ReCaptcha plugin doesn't work even though it's downloaded. In this case you can delete recaptcha.frp from config directory\plugins, restart FRD and update plugins again.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
Different videos have different formats available, so it's not possible to say for sure before the download is started. However, you can set your format preferences in Options > Preferences > Plugins > YouTube > Options.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
The "Access denied" issue has been fixed since FRD v0.9 beta 1 by storing the plugins in the configuration directory rather than the installation directory.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
FRD/Java doesn't require any services as far as I know. If even nslookup doesn't return the correct results (it should return 212.20.102.77 for wordrider.net), the problem is not within FRD or Java.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Judging on the nslookup results, this is definitely some sort of a DNS configuration issue on your computer. I'm just wondering how any programs at all can access the internet. I'm not sure what's wrong or how you could fix it.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
UnknownHostException indicates some sort of DNS issue. It's weird that other programs work but FRD doesn't. I'm not sure what to do. Can you open CMD, run "nslookup wordrider.net" without quotes and post the output?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Options > Use Connections > Make sure "Default" is checked. If that doesn't help, could you attach the log file? Help > Browse to log file.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Glad that you got it sorted out. Sometimes I think ObjectDB isn't quite as robust as it could be. I guess it's much better than our previous XML based solution though.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
It's an ObjectDB database file so it's unlikely you can open it in any other program. Not sure what's gone wrong there, but you could try taking a backup of the frd.odb and frd.odb$ files, and then deleting the one with the $ in the name.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
The download list (and history) is stored in the frd.odb file in the directory you mentioned. Could you check if there's anything in the log file and attach it? You can find it in \AppData\Roaming\VitySoft\FRD\log\app.log.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Are you sure the window does not appear in the background? You can try Alt+Tab. If not, can you attach the log file? You can find it in %AppData%\VitySoft\FRD\log\app.log.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
512MB RAM might be a stretch, but you could try. One thing to note is that Windows XP does not support the latest version of Java (8), though FRD works fine with Java 7 as well (but not Java 6). You simply need to copy the configuration directory to the second computer. You can find this in %AppData%\VitySoft\FRD. Copy the whole VitySoft folder. There's also portable mode, which could be usby ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Is it a surprise to you that there is pornographic content on the internet?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
We don't parse the HTML into a web page, so we need to read the links directly from the HTML markup. However, they all seem to be there. I'm not sure why we ended up using the API. A regex like "<a href="(/watch\?v=.+?)" would do it I guess.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
It's probably some sort of an issue with the built-in DASH multiplexer. You could try muxing the video (m4v) and audio (m4a) tracks together using FFmpeg:by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
They have a new domain, Mega.nz (without the .co). Support added in plugin v1.0.10. The old version did not recognize the new domain so FRD thought it was a direct download.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
The file name from validation might not be the final file name, because some services truncate the name they display on the download page for example.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
The problem is that the final file name is not always known until the download starts. Some services truncate the file name, for example. I guess you can hit "rename" on the "file already exists" prompt?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
I installed the Nero 2015 (v16) trial and tested this in a virtual machine, and I can confirm that the bug is 100% reproducible. I will report this to Oracle. It will take months or years to resolve though, so you'll have to live with it for now.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
You are using Java 8u45? The 'hs_err' file means that the JVM crashed, which means that this sounds like a Java bug. Which version of Nero are you using? Do you have to burn a disc and then close Nero to cause this error, or does it also happen if you just open Nero and then close it? Also, do all Java programs crash this way? You can test by opening the Java Control Panel, which is a Javaby ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
Java 6 has not been supported by Oracle for several years. Some FRD features already require a newer version and we are not testing on Java 6 anymore. Is it possible to update to a newer version?by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
This is already supported. You can enable it by opening startup.properties in Notepad and uncommenting the line that says "#--minim" (remove the '#').by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - General
1. The reason for this is that the name detected by the plugin and the name set by the user are stored in the same property. When the plugin runs a name check, it replaces the name you've set. I agree, this is a bit confusing and should probably be fixed. 2. You can set the download location in the Add Links dialog. The default location is whatever you used last time.

Yeah, Channel 4 switched to HDS with DRM years ago. Unfortunately it can't be supported.by ntoskrnl - FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins
