@wiii: You may be hitting the 20 per day download limit. Your downloader may be trying to help you by downloading too much. If you send me your API key I can tell you for sure if that's the case.

Some downloaders use threads to download, so what your saying is to try and stop people giving out links you are screwing over the people who have paid into the site for years.

If a downloader indiscriminately downloads everything it sees then yes, we want to block it. The 20 per day is per video, not download. i.e. you can download the same video 100 times if you need to but you can only download 20 district videos a day which is more than enough given we at most produce 5 videos per day.

This had nothing to do with piracy. Its about cost and trying to keep an ad-free site running from subscriptions without jacking up the price to you guys. Having a downloader randomly download a 2 hour video that you're never going to watch costs us money.

I never said it randomly downloaded anything, I said it used threads to download a single file.

I'm done anyway.

Good job, tell your bosses you have lost a long time viewer over it.

It's very simple to get around the API limit, use a host like mega.co.nz, download it once and relink that file. Boom. In the meantime I still can't use the downloader I've been using for years that works on every other site and worked here till lately.

Don't know how many times that was, it's not easy to redownload same thing over and over.

@sideshow_nick: Just saying I can't get it to run or find a download link I can trust so I can't tell you what's going on with it. Sorry. We're making some changes that may help. That will go live on Monday. If jDownloader is making anonymous requests then there's nothing I can do. No reputable app should make anonymous requests. Lots of services block them.

Not had any problems with Jdownloader other than Giantbomb.

@smek: Sorry we can't get good download URLs except for MacOS and then got this:

No Caption Provided

So when it comes to jdownloader ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly though, there's GOT to be better options out there.

I've been using JDownloader with Giantbomb for years. It works great with LITERALLY EVERY SITE out on the internet, the changes you've made have made it impossible for me to download. So instead of fixing it you are telling me to change my downloader.

How about no.

@smek: @sideshow_nick:We'll automatically append your API key to links so most download managers should work again, unless they are making anonymous requests in which case, sorry we can't support them. This should be live on Monday.

We're looking into jdownloader today but I'm guessing it makes anonymous requests.

I can't support Giantbomb any longer then, 4 years of subs gone.

@sideshow_nick: It's to stop people sharing links, they are under the false assumption that people will pay for subscription if they can't get the links elsewhere.

In the mean time it screws over all the people who have been subscribing for years.

I use Jdownloader as a download manager so I can pause and resume videos, now all I am getting is 10mb videos basically calling me a thief. I can't copy and paste the API key so it makes me type it all out manually nor do I want to do that every time I want to download a video.

I've been subscribed for 4 years now and I don't appreciate the insinuation just because I'm not right clicking and saving using web browser.

Time to let my subscription lapse, the content on this site has gone downhill massively now they are using draconian methods to protect links that will affect me more than pirates.

As a fan of both, they really aren't. Rise of the Tomb Raider was really disappointing.

Your GPU is slightly faster than minimum specs, you should be able to run it but with settings turned down.
