adding links to JD interface
will result in linkchecking via website or api

account based downloads
downloading method for web includes linkchecking part of the download step or not. If websites have direct download option we typically do not do this logged in as it will send data over html. If they always return html we use logged in as its one less request (faster). If its api based two calls, one to check online status, second to start download.

free downloads
will online check as part of the download routine.

which site penalises you ? Maybe best approach is for us to add plugin specific code to just always return links online. Filename/size/onlinestatus will only be available on download

adding work around like this is kinda pointless. right? Have you thought about turning linkchecking off (advanced setting)?
