super search (downloadable)

Post by rebuka » Fri Apr 08, 2005 9:43 pm

I know that in super search there's already a category for "all" and "downloadable", but even in the "downloadables" wich include direct, indirect and local downloads the server isn't available or there's some kind of problem, basicly there are "downloadables" that aren't downloadable. So, maybe instead of clicking the link to video info. and finding out it's not available, why not save me some time by writing not available (N/A) right next to the type of file wich would state direct and/or indirect and/or local. Thanks!

Well all locals are downloadable. All direct links were downloadable recently because we automatically remove links that 404 (the server checks links every week I think) and indirect links we've no control over because we aren't going to go and search through the website that has been linked to just for you.

So I'm not sure exactly how we could do more than we already are.

FYI, the direct link checking script is currently rather broken. It leaks a lot of memory and takes forever to run...
