UrlSnooper / Re: The snooper can´t find the URL of the media files in imeem.com

« on: July 15, 2008, 03:27 PM »

Actually at present, even if you were to get the correct URL with URL Snooper, it would do you no good; imeem.com uses "anti-leech technology", which means that they send your web browser a temporary link to the media file that can only be accessed ONCE. Thus when your web browser gets the link, it then plays the music/media file just fine, but if you try to start another download from your computer to capture the media file to disk, the imeem.com server will refuse the second request.

The only freeware programs I know of that can circumvent the "anti-leech technology" are Orbit Downloader and Free Music Zilla. Both of those programs can download easily from imeem.com.

Mouser: any update on when you might have time to fix the problem? Just curious since it's been a few months.

UrlSnooper / URL Snooper truncating the full URL...

« on: February 29, 2008, 08:34 PM »

Just as an example, try to get the video URL (.flv file) for this youtube video:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IVkkCVh5t0E

Using another sniffer program, the correct download URL should be:
http://74.125.15.165..._fname=get_video.flv

This is the URL that URL Snooper gives me:
http://74.125.15.165...1204358974&key=1

Note the Snooper URL is truncated after "key=1" and doesn't include the rest of the correct URL which has the .flv file referenced. What's going on here? Do I have URL Snooper incorrectly cofigured, or why doesn't it return the full URL?

Thanks for any help!
