It can't be a coincidence. Downloads work every time for me using browser. Never in JD (since the last week or so). I tried many times, with different links at different times.
When you're testing in browser, do you just test the **External links are only visible to Support Staff**Adverigo API url directly or do you try an **External links are only visible to Support Staff**actual download?
For anyone who wants to test this hoster, here's step by step how to download from this site since I know it can be difficult to figure out for non-Russian speakers. I struggled myself in the beginning since I don't speak Russian either.
- **External links are only visible to Support Staff**Start here or with any rusfolder.com link found via Google etc.
- Select the radio button where you see this text (just look for the number 30, indicating a 30 second wait for free downloads):
С просмотром рекламы
Ожидание 30 секунд
- Press the red download button directly below the radio button in the last step. Not the other red buttton on the right.
- You'll now see 4 or more grey boxes with sponsor names. Click one of those. I usually click the one starting with "З", but I think all of them works.
- A 30 second countdown starts. When it finishes a **External links are only visible to Support Staff**popup/new tab opens (so make sure you allow the popup) with a **External links are only visible to Support Staff**4 digit captcha. Enter the correct 4 digit code and press enter.
- After entering the correct captcha code, you are redirected to the **External links are only visible to Support Staff**page with the **External links are only visible to Support Staff**real download link. Just click the red download button or the link to start the download.
If I try the API URL in browser I get an error message too.
I think what's happening is when Adverigo api is down or if **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** is blocked via adblock, the website/browser falls back to a different captcha provider, but JD does not. Possibly the same for ads.
In fact **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** didn't even show up in my (Inspect element) Network tab after reloading the popup in step 5 above, and I found out this was becuase my adblocker had this filter from EasyList:
Code:
||adverigo.com^$third-party
If I disable that filter or pause adblock I can see the api call failing in the Network tab. But the captcha and download still works (with or without adblock), so that is why I believe there is a fallback to one or more other captcha providers which is not handled by the JD hoster plugin currently.
I tried looking for the code, but I don't understand enough of it to figure out the exact spot. Possibly here:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout(function () {
//console.log('Captcha timeout');
//$('#debug').append('<pre>1</pre>');
//try {
// console.log('adVerigo', adVerigo);
// $('#debug').append('<pre>2</pre>');
//} catch (e) {
// console.log('e', e);
//}
if ( typeof adVerigo === 'undefined' || advertigo_ads === false )
{
//console.log('3');
//$('#debug').append('<pre>3</pre>');
$('#adverigo-captcha').hide();
$('#our2-capcha-parent').show();
//$('#reklamper-captcha').show();
$('#reload-capcha-parent').hide();
$download_step_one_form.data('success', true);
}
if ($('#adverigo-captcha').is(':hidden') && $('#our2-capcha-parent').is(':hidden'))
{
//console.log('4');
//$('#debug').append('<pre>4</pre>');
$('#our2-capcha-parent').show();
//$('#reklamper-captcha').show();
$('#reload-capcha-parent').hide();
$download_step_one_form.data('success', true);
}
}, 6000);
</script>
There is more similar ad and captcha code directly above and below that, but I don't want to clutter the forum by pasting all the code here. It's available by following the download procedure above and viewing sorurce in the captcha popup in step 5.
I hope someone can figure this out, since JD is invaluable to avoid jumping through all those hoops in the step by step above for each download.
