Firefox Plugin to Handle Thunder Links,,, Please

[oxyandy]

If I manually copy paste a " thunder:// " link and paste into

" HTTP/FTP Download "

It works perfectly, great :)

So do you think with the next update

you could add this support to the Firefox Plugin ?

The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (thunder) isn't associated with any program.

You might need to install other software to open this address.

Cheers

Thanks

This is very much the wrong place to request Firefox plugin features. You at least want to do this on the mozilla forum.

Huh ?

Bitcomet would not work with FireFox without the features that get added when you run the Setup.exe

Oh please, don't take me for a fool.

Do you not know about Integration with FireFox is achieved via BitCometVideoDownloader{1.34}.xpi for FireFox. ???

Modify the .xpi and Thunder links could be recognised

Ask yourself, "what is Thunder"? What's Xunlei all about?

Now ask yourself, "what's the BitComet plugin all about"?

Right. They are direct competitors. They're both browser plugins that handle multiple protocols, not in Firefox anymore, but in 3rd-party applications (BitComet or Xunlei).

So it sure sounds like you're asking for a Ford to give you a Chevrolet plugin for Firefox. Wrong place to ask.

And given the huge number of other plugins that xunlei wants to install, I wouldn't have it on my own system anyway.

"thunder//" links aren't something new. They're pointers to existing links of other protocols. If the application can recognize that other protocol (say, http or ftp or even flv) then it can process the download, but this isn't an 'extra' feature of the plugin. Even flvdownloader can process detectable thunder:// links. But that's a pretty big "If".

(If you've never seen a "thunder:// link", it's because you're not in China. They're not used anywhere else in the world. I had to go and research them since oxyandy didn't bother to say anything about them.)

Where, exactly, do you 'manually copy paste a " thunder:// " link and paste into " HTTP/FTP Download "'?

Ok,

Thank you,

Well my Chevy Engine works even better in my Ford (BitComet)....

All I need to do, is change the Engine Mounts (Firefox 3rd Party BitComet Extension..)

The rest of the Body stays the same ! (BitComet - Main Program)

Now, my Ford goes better than "Other Fords" (Yes, I would never install Xunlei)

So without installing Xunlei, Firefox will not understand a Thunder Protocol

IE thunder://something_like_a_magnet_link_goes_here

So, you see....

The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (thunder) isn't associated with any program.

You might need to install other software to open this address.

So I copy the link and manually paste it here

BitComet then understands the link and grabs the file.
