lemmin Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think that those types of programs will catch any type of a link that doesn't have a specific software associated with it. Basically, anything that would normally pop up a download file prompt. I would think that the only way to get around that is to make your own application to save the file on a users computer. A Java applet or Flash is the most common way this is done, but you can do it in Javascript too, it just won't have the best gui for the user.

lemmin Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Can you give an example of a website that doesn't allow your accelerator to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
