[From
https://board.jdownloader.org/showth...400#post524400 - Idk how responsive folks are in old-ish threads so I'm just making a new one here too]
I started using JDownloader for a site, I was even able to sign in using cookies, after which point I was able to download 2 files and then it would say "Blocked by cloudflare" and I'd have to reload the site that the links are from and cloudflare does another "check", then I have to get the new cookie and put that into the accounts section in JDownloader, and then it downloads another 2 files, gets cloudflared again and this repeats forever. I feel as if there should be some kind of automated system to get around this, but maybe that's just too difficult. Like maybe a popup browser that grabs said cookie automatically after cloudflare does its checks? Could be a potential JDownloader workaround, a feature, if you will.
I am also sure this is a problem across multiple sites, potentially all sites that have Cloudflare protection setup this way, it would just be cool to have a patch for it in some way, even if it was a little janky.
Alright. I have just read up on Cloudscraper, of which I saw a few suspiciously alike posts that link to a page that describe it and have a link to it, however this appears to be only for devs that can link up with it with code or whatever. I am not a dev, and I have no idea how to make it work with JDownloader, nor is there an issues page on the Github page to ask the dev about it, so I'm just left in the dark.
Last edit I promise: I just saw this, which conflicts with what I am dealing with. As you can see here, it says that the site I am dealing with (very top of screenshot) can have this problem be dealt with by just using the login cookies crap, but... I've been doing that this entire time due to the fact that I can't log in without the cookies anyway, so the fact that I have this problem at all disregards this part of this post. So that is peculiar.
Nvm here's another edit: My dad told me about someone called Pszocker, this individual was legendary. they would FaceTime with him to resolve issues. No idea how long ago this would have been lol, he said it was way before Teams. If you read this, you are legendary.
