An easy way to check for valid RS links

This is more of a suggestion for Phun users but can also apply to file hosters using rapidshare or filefactory. So I'm not sure if this goes in this forum.




If you use Firefox, you know there are tons of great addons for it. One of the best addons is called Greasemonkey.
Greasemonkey allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.

You can get Greasemonkey here

Then, install a copy of the following script into Greasemonkey


Rapidshare Links Checker
http://anonym.to/?http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9467

"Automatically checks rapidshare.com and and filefactory.com links from the page that you are visiting"

It goes through a page and checks all the RS links to see if they are still valid. If they are, it places a green check mark next to the link. If the file is dead, a red x is used.

Example

After





I believe this should prove useful to quite a few people!

 

how do you install the script? in simple idiot proof instructions if you dont mind.

 

Do you already have Greasemonkey installed?

Then all you do is go here

and click the "Install this script" button on the right of the page

 

thanks man. im a bit of a fuckwit with my computer sometimes,

 

we all are sometimes

let me know how well it works for you

 

i just tried checking a couple of video threads out. it seems to work. this would be a great tool for fucktard noobs. instead of asking for a reup they would know the link is dead. (mind you they would probably still ask for a reup)

 

Opening Firefox as I hit input.

 

excellent gizmo mate. very very useful. thanks.

 

Glad it's working out for you

Especially useful for those videos that are larger than 3-4 files

 

i also think this would be useful for noobs. it would stop them asking fuckwit questions ,like where are the vids?
