Hey, question for you all. I use Archive.org for a while to grab certain files and usually copy and paste the links into Free Download Manager for quicker DL speeds. This has been working fine for months.

Now I see that a lot of pages on Archive.org are asking you to make an account and login in order to download the files, which is fine. I’ve made an account and can download files as usual. But the issue now is when I copy and paste the links into FDM app, it’s giving me an error message and won’t download them. I assume that it needs a user and password login in the app itself in order to download the files.

Has anyone else experienced this recently and know a workaround? Would I need to change my download manager from FDM to something else?
