Thanks, Jiaz....
What you DIDN'T say was that these links/entries were still valid and that the files /videos would be downloadable anyway.
This is 'Non-Obvious'...
So, I guessed.
I started the downloads despite the ominous 'UNKNOWN' file sizes and the bloody things seem to have worked.
[It is 'ominous'' because it looks like an error and all the other VALID links to files had valid sizes. It's one way for me to determine whether the link is usable or points to some junk - as some do...On unsupported sites, I will often get a lot of small junk and one obvious large video file which I then download, deleting the 'junk' entries, ya see?]]
BTW: 2 notes:
I have located what is intended to be the 'SEARCH' on the Downloads page, thank you.
As you know, it is right at the bottom of the screen with some tech stuff and very faintly labelled ' Please enter the filename you are looking for'.
With respect to all, this - Location and function/desription are neither intuitive or obvious and I would not have found it without an intensive examination and you telling me that it was there.
Logically, It should be an obvious Search button at the top right.
As an uninvited general observation, I believe that Jdownloader 2 is a very powerful and immensely useful application with superb support.
I also would suggest that its 'Human interface guidelines' could be greatly improved.
[It feels like it's been designed and built/documented by UNIX/LINUX developers for UNIX/LINUX Users.n Rather than for humans... :]
I think you could do with a USERS Manual with a whole lot of 'Where it is', 'How it all Works' and 'HOW TO'.
As a second unsolicited observation based on my own experience, back when I was a Mac developer, I used a 6 Volume "Inside MacIntosh" set of books to figure out how to design and write for Macs.
There were 2 entire, large, standalone volumes dedicated to rigorous and well-designed 'User Interface guidelines' which were more like rules or laws for developers than guidelines - basically how a Mac App should look, feel, behave etc...
Not every developer liked this but it was Apple's way of ensuring that any Mac Apps were easy to use and their behaviour easy to understand and predict.
It worked. And it taught me a lot of good things.
:outch:
MY SINCERE THANKS FOR A GREAT APPLICATION AND THE WONDERFUL SUPPORT.
