    Q.How do I report bugs?
    A.FlashGet is very, very robust and extremely reliable, but should you rexperience any errors, please e-mail the details in the interests of continual FlashGet refinement. In your mail please specify:

    * The URL of the file which you tried to download.
    * Which operating system you are running.
    * The copy of log for the troublesome download.
    * The FlashGet version you are using.
    * An error description

    If an illegal operation occurred please include the fault details.

    Q.How do I bypass a FlashGet download?
    A.Check Disable Monitor Browser in the Drop Zone or Tray context (right-click) menu.

    Go Top




    Q.Some windows (like the main job list window) don't display information. What's wrong?
    A.Run regedit, and delete the following key in your registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\Main Frame

    Go Top




    Q.The "Download All By FlashGet" and "Download using FlashGet" options don't work?
    A.1.Reinstall FlashGet and then run FlashGet again. Restart your browser. Also make sure you don't install FlashGet in a directory containing non-English characters.
    2.Reinstall IE browser.

    If you use mozilla firefox,please see this

    Go Top




    Q.No IE monitoring (click detection) at all. What's wrong?
    A.Make sure Download All by FlashGet and Download using FlashGet options are enabled. Refer to the above question. Due to the enormous amount of software that monitor browser clicks, there are often conflicts that leads to undetected browser clicks. FlashGet is capable of using two different IE monitoring methods. Switch to the other method if the first one doesn't work. It's recommended you to restart the computer after doing this. If only part of the clicks were not detected, it is because IE did not transfer the URL to clipboard. URL tracking will be improved by using an additional method in future versions.

    Go Top




    Q.When using IE5.5, after FlashGet monitors clicks, IE displays a error page. What's wrong?
    A.Monitor method 1 does not work with IE 5.5 very well, please switch to method 2.

    Go Top




    Q.Socket Error 100xx
    A.Make sure your internet connection is OK, (if you're using a proxy server, please make sure that all the settings are correct.If you're using a firewell you also need incorrect settings in firewell let flashget able use internet connection). The problem might have been caused by connecting using too many Jets. Do not try to download too many files simultaneously. If the error occurs on only some URLs, it's likely that the site is down, in which case you should download the file at another time.

    WSAEACCES
    (10013)
    Permission denied.
    An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. An example is using a broadcast address for sendto without broadcast permission being set using setsockopt(SO_BROADCAST).

    Another possible reason for the WSAEACCES error is that when the bind function is called (on Windows NT 4 SP4 or later), another application, service, or kernel mode driver is bound to the same address with exclusive access. Such exclusive access is a new feature of Windows NT 4 SP4 and later, and is implemented by using the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option.

    WSAEADDRINUSE
    (10048)
    Address already in use.
    Typically, only one usage of each socket address (protocol/IP address/port) is permitted. This error occurs if an application attempts to bind a socket to an IP address/port that has already been used for an existing socket, or a socket that wasn't closed properly, or one that is still in the process of closing. For server applications that need to bind multiple sockets to the same port number, consider using setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR). Client applications usually need not call bind at all?aconnect chooses an unused port automatically. When bind is called with a wildcard address (involving ADDR_ANY), a WSAEADDRINUSE error could be delayed until the specific address is committed. This could happen with a call to another function later, including connect, listen, WSAConnect, or WSAJoinLeaf.
    WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL
    (10049)
    Cannot assign requested address.
    The requested address is not valid in its context. This normally results from an attempt to bind to an address that is not valid for the local machine. This can also result from connect, sendto, WSAConnect, WSAJoinLeaf, or WSASendTo when the remote address or port is not valid for a remote machine (for example, address or port 0).
    WSAEAFNOSUPPORT
    (10047)
    Address family not supported by protocol family.
    An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. All sockets are created with an associated address family (that is, AF_INET for Internet Protocols) and a generic protocol type (that is, SOCK_STREAM). This error is returned if an incorrect protocol is explicitly requested in the socket call, or if an address of the wrong family is used for a socket, for example, in sendto.
    WSAEALREADY
    (10037)
    Operation already in progress.
    An operation was attempted on a nonblocking socket with an operation already in progress?athat is, calling connect a second time on a nonblocking socket that is already connecting, or canceling an asynchronous request (WSAAsyncGetXbyY) that has already been canceled or completed.
    WSAECONNABORTED
    (10053)
    Software caused connection abort.
    An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine, possibly due to a data transmission time-out or protocol error.
    WSAECONNREFUSED
    (10061)
    Connection refused.
    No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host?athat is, one with no server application running.
    WSAECONNRESET
    (10054)
    Connection reset by peer.
    An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This normally results if the peer application on the remote host is suddenly stopped, the host is rebooted, or the remote host uses a hard close (see setsockopt for more information on the SO_LINGER option on the remote socket.) This error may also result if a connection was broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while one or more operations are in progress. Operations that were in progress fail with WSAENETRESET. Subsequent operations fail with WSAECONNRESET.
    WSAEDESTADDRREQ
    (10039)
    Destination address required.
    A required address was omitted from an operation on a socket. For example, this error is returned if sendto is called with the remote address of ADDR_ANY.
    WSAEFAULT
    (10014)
    Bad address.
    The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument of a call. This error occurs if an application passes an invalid pointer value, or if the length of the buffer is too small. For instance, if the length of an argument, which is a SOCKADDR structure, is smaller than the sizeof(SOCKADDR).
    WSAEHOSTDOWN
    (10064)
    Host is down.
    A socket operation failed because the destination host is down. A socket operation encountered a dead host. Networking activity on the local host has not been initiated. These conditions are more likely to be indicated by the error WSAETIMEDOUT.
    WSAEHOSTUNREACH
    (10065)
    No route to host.
    A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. See WSAENETUNREACH.
    WSAEINPROGRESS
    (10036)
    Operation now in progress.
    A blocking operation is currently executing. Windows Sockets only allows a single blocking operation?aper- task or thread?ato be outstanding, and if any other function call is made (whether or not it references that or any other socket) the function fails with the WSAEINPROGRESS error.
    WSAEINTR
    (10004)
    Interrupted function call.
    A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall.
    WSAEINVAL
    (10022)
    Invalid argument.
    Some invalid argument was supplied (for example, specifying an invalid level to the setsockopt function). In some instances, it also refers to the current state of the socket?afor instance, calling accept on a socket that is not listening.
    WSAEISCONN
    (10056)
    Socket is already connected.
    A connect request was made on an already-connected socket. Some implementations also return this error if sendto is called on a connected SOCK_DGRAM socket (for SOCK_STREAM sockets, the to parameter in sendto is ignored) although other implementations treat this as a legal occurrence.
    WSAEMFILE
    (10024)
    Too many open files.
    Too many open sockets. Each implementation may have a maximum number of socket handles available, either globally, per process, or per thread.
    WSAEMSGSIZE
    (10040)
    Message too long.
    A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram was smaller than the datagram itself.
    WSAENETDOWN
    (10050)
    Network is down.
    A socket operation encountered a dead network. This could indicate a serious failure of the network system (that is, the protocol stack that the Windows Sockets DLL runs over), the network interface, or the local network itself.
    WSAENETRESET
    (10052)
    Network dropped connection on reset.
    The connection has been broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress. It can also be returned by setsockopt if an attempt is made to set SO_KEEPALIVE on a connection that has already failed.
    WSAENETUNREACH
    (10051)
    Network is unreachable.
    A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network. This usually means the local software knows no route to reach the remote host.
    WSAENOBUFS
    (10055)
    No buffer space available.
    An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full.
    WSAENOPROTOOPT
    (10042)
    Bad protocol option.
    An unknown, invalid or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call.
    WSAENOTCONN
    (10057)
    Socket is not connected.
    A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using sendto) no address was supplied. Any other type of operation might also return this error?afor example, setsockopt setting SO_KEEPALIVE if the connection has been reset.
    WSAENOTSOCK
    (10038)
    Socket operation on nonsocket.
    An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. Either the socket handle parameter did not reference a valid socket, or for select, a member of an fd_set was not valid.
    WSAEOPNOTSUPP
    (10045)
    Operation not supported.
    The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced. Usually this occurs when a socket descriptor to a socket that cannot support this operation is trying to accept a connection on a datagram socket.
    WSAEPFNOSUPPORT
    (10046)
    Protocol family not supported.
    The protocol family has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists. This message has a slightly different meaning from WSAEAFNOSUPPORT. However, it is interchangeable in most cases, and all Windows Sockets functions that return one of these messages also specify WSAEAFNOSUPPORT.
    WSAEPROCLIM
    (10067)
    Too many processes.
    A Windows Sockets implementation may have a limit on the number of applications that can use it simultaneously. WSAStartup may fail with this error if the limit has been reached.
    WSAEPROTONOSUPPORT
    (10043)
    Protocol not supported.
    The requested protocol has not been configured into the system, or no implementation for it exists. For example, a socket call requests a SOCK_DGRAM socket, but specifies a stream protocol.
    WSAEPROTOTYPE
    (10041)
    Protocol wrong type for socket.
    A protocol was specified in the socket function call that does not support the semantics of the socket type requested. For example, the ARPA Internet UDP protocol cannot be specified with a socket type of SOCK_STREAM.
    WSAESHUTDOWN
    (10058)
    Cannot send after socket shutdown.
    A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket had already been shut down in that direction with a previous shutdown call. By calling shutdown a partial close of a socket is requested, which is a signal that sending or receiving, or both have been discontinued.
    WSAESOCKTNOSUPPORT
    (10044)
    Socket type not supported.
    The support for the specified socket type does not exist in this address family. For example, the optional type SOCK_RAW might be selected in a socket call, and the implementation does not support SOCK_RAW sockets at all.
    WSAETIMEDOUT
    (10060)
    Connection timed out.
    A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or the established connection failed because the connected host has failed to respond.
    WSATYPE_NOT_FOUND
    (10109)
    Class type not found.
    The specified class was not found.
    WSAEWOULDBLOCK
    (10035)
    Resource temporarily unavailable.
    This error is returned from operations on nonblocking sockets that cannot be completed immediately, for example recv when no data is queued to be read from the socket. It is a nonfatal error, and the operation should be retried later. It is normal for WSAEWOULDBLOCK to be reported as the result from calling connect on a nonblocking SOCK_STREAM socket, since some time must elapse for the connection to be established.
    WSAHOST_NOT_FOUND
    (11001)
    Host not found.
    No such host is known. The name is not an official host name or alias, or it cannot be found in the database(s) being queried. This error may also be returned for protocol and service queries, and means that the specified name could not be found in the relevant database.
    WSA_INVALID_HANDLE
    (OS dependent)
    Specified event object handle is invalid.
    An application attempts to use an event object, but the specified handle is not valid.
    WSA_INVALID_PARAMETER
    (OS dependent)
    One or more parameters are invalid.
    An application used a Windows Sockets function which directly maps to a Win32 function. The Win32 function is indicating a problem with one or more parameters.
    WSAINVALIDPROCTABLE
    (OS dependent)
    Invalid procedure table from service provider.
    A service provider returned a bogus procedure table to Ws2_32.dll. (Usually caused by one or more of the function pointers being null.)
    WSAINVALIDPROVIDER
    (OS dependent)
    Invalid service provider version number.
    A service provider returned a version number other than 2.0.
    WSA_IO_INCOMPLETE
    (OS dependent)
    Overlapped I/O event object not in signaled state.
    The application has tried to determine the status of an overlapped operation which is not yet completed. Applications that use WSAGetOverlappedResult (with the fWait flag set to FALSE) in a polling mode to determine when an overlapped operation has completed, get this error code until the operation is complete.
    WSA_IO_PENDING
    (OS dependent)
    Overlapped operations will complete later.
    The application has initiated an overlapped operation that cannot be completed immediately. A completion indication will be given later when the operation has been completed.
    WSA_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY
    (OS dependent)
    Insufficient memory available.
    An application used a Windows Sockets function that directly maps to a Win32 function. The Win32 function is indicating a lack of required memory resources.
    WSANOTINITIALISED
    (10093)
    Successful WSAStartup not yet performed.
    Either the application hasn't called WSAStartup or WSAStartup failed. The application may be accessing a socket that the current active task does not own (that is, trying to share a socket between tasks), or WSACleanup has been called too many times.
    WSANO_DATA
    (11004)
    Valid name, no data record of requested type.
    The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a host name-to-address translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server). An MX record is returned but no A record?aindicating the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable.
    WSANO_RECOVERY
    (11003)
    This is a nonrecoverable error.
    This indicates some sort of nonrecoverable error occurred during a database lookup. This may be because the database files (for example, BSD-compatible HOSTS, SERVICES, or PROTOCOLS files) could not be found, or a DNS request was returned by the server with a severe error.
    WSAPROVIDERFAILEDINIT
    (OS dependent)
    Unable to initialize a service provider.
    Either a service provider's DLL could not be loaded (LoadLibrary failed) or the provider's WSPStartup/NSPStartup function failed.
    WSASYSCALLFAILURE
    (OS dependent)
    System call failure.
    Returned when a system call that should never fail does. For example, if a call to WaitForMultipleObjects fails or one of the registry functions fails trying to manipulate the protocol/name space catalogs.
    WSASYSNOTREADY
    (10091)
    Network subsystem is unavailable.
    This error is returned by WSAStartup if the Windows Sockets implementation cannot function at this time because the underlying system it uses to provide network services is currently unavailable. Users should check:
    • That the appropriate Windows Sockets DLL file is in the current path.
    • That they are not trying to use more than one Windows Sockets implementation simultaneously. If there is more than one Winsock DLL on your system, be sure the first one in the path is appropriate for the network subsystem currently loaded.
    • The Windows Sockets implementation documentation to be sure all necessary components are currently installed and configured correctly.
    WSATRY_AGAIN
    (11002)
    Nonauthoritative host not found.
    This is usually a temporary error during host name resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server. A retry at some time later may be successful.
    WSAVERNOTSUPPORTED
    (10092)
    Winsock.dll version out of range.
    The current Windows Sockets implementation does not support the Windows Sockets specification version requested by the application. Check that no old Windows Sockets DLL files are being accessed.
    WSAEDISCON
    (10101)
    Graceful shutdown in progress.
    Returned by WSARecv and WSARecvFrom to indicate that the remote party has initiated a graceful shutdown sequence.
    WSA_OPERATION_ABORTED
    (OS dependent)
    Overlapped operation aborted.
    An overlapped operation was canceled due to the closure of the socket, or the execution of the SIO_FLUSH command in WSAIoctl.

    Q.Cannot create or open file
    A.Make sure the directory exists and is not corrupted. Please use Scandisk to analyse and fix possible problems on your hard drive.

    Q.Clicking on X only minimizes FlashGet.
    A.This is by design. The purpose is to prevent users from accidentally closing down the program. If you want to shut it down completely, simpley right-click on the FlashGet icon in your traybar and choose Exit.

    Advanced users:
    Add the following entry to the registry table if you wish to close it down when clicking on the X Close button rather than minimizing it
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General\Scexit=1

    Go Top




    Q.Why doesn't FlashGet include ranking download system like other download managers do?
    A.FlashGet's download system is quite different to the others. FlashGet arranges download jobs in top-to-bottom order; higher positioned jobs get downloaded before lower positioned jobs. We think this is much more intuitive. You can rearrange the order by selecting jobs and pressing the Up or Down arrow on the toolbar.

    Tip: Hold down the Ctrl key when clicking Up or Down and you can move jobs directly to the top or the bottom in a convenient single step. Use Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple files.

    Go Top




    Q.How come some files can ONLY be downloaded by using the browser?
    A.Some sites only allow you to download files from specific browsers. Go to Tools menu, Options... , then Protocol and set User-Agent as Internet Explorer 5.x;. This allows FlashGet to identify itself as IE5.x. Some other sites restrict users to use a referrer page. If that's the case, enter the referrer page URL under job Properties. As an example, there's a link to the FlashGet file on http://www.flashget.com/download.htm. The referrer in this case would be http://www.flashget.com/download.htm

    Go Top




    Q.I'm using Mircosoft's proxy server software. The user name and the password are correct, but the download doesn't start.
    A.FlashGet only supports basic authentication. In order to successfully use FlashGet with MS Proxy Server you can enable basic authentication on the MS Proxy Server (if you have privileges to administrate it). Install to your local computer the MS Proxy Winsock Client which will logon to MS Proxy server so you can use FlashGet (usually, the installation routine for it can be found at \\proxy-server-name\mspclnt\setup.exe)

    Go Top




    Q.How do I use FlashGet? How do I use a proxy server?
    A.Go to the Tools menu, click on Options... then Proxy. Check both HTTP and FTP Default to direct connection, or add your own Proxy server address (ask your network administrator for it) by clicking on Add. That's all you have to do. Now you can use FlashGet to download files.

    If you're uncertain how to add files to the download list, refer to the help file. If FlashGet still doesn't download after you have successfully added jobs to the job list and pressed Start, then you have to re-ask your network administrator for a Proxy server address and its port :-)

    Go Top




    Q.Lost advert.dll?
    A.Delete the advert.dll in windows system directory then reinstall FlashGet.

    Go Top




    Q.How do I make FlashGet invoke my Virus scanner and scan downloaded files automatically?
    A.Go to the Tools menu, then Options... , then File Manager. Select the Use virus scanner to scan the downloaded file(s) checkbox. Now specify the path of the required exe file and its instruction variable. For example:
    McAfee AntiVirus C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan95\scan95, args /autoscan /nosplash
    Norton AntiVirus C:\Program Files\Norton Antivirus\navw32.exe, Args (empty)
    Alternatively, right-click on any downloaded jobs and choose Virus Scan.

    Go Top




    Q.How come the speed decreases when 99% were done?
    A.When the download is near completion, there are only a few bytes/kilobytes left, so FlashGet only uses one or two Jets (splits) to download. In addition, if the jets were badly connected, FlashGet would wait until it times out and would then connect again.

    Go Top




    Q.DLL required and a device not functioning problems (especially in Windows95)
    A.These occur because some DLLs required by FlashGet do not exist or are not the right version. Please install DCOM98 for Windows98 or DCOM95 for Windows95

    Go Top




    Q."Failed to create empty document" occurs when running FlashGet.
    A.1.Install a new version of Microsoft's Common Control
    2.Install DCOM98 for Windows98 or DCOM95 for Windows95
    3.Default download datebase(default.jcd) is corrupted, please use backup download database(default.bk1,default,bk2,default.bk3) recover it.

    Go Top




    Q.How to use FlashGet's management features? How to set default download folder?
    A.FlashGet can categorize downloaded files and place them in specified folders, each category has its own directory. For example the category MP3's default hard drive directory is c:\download\mp3. When placing a file into MP3, the actual file will be placed in c:\download\mp3. All downloaded jobs can be moved to any category, moving the actual file to the folder in the process. Downloaded is the default category. Changing its hard drive directory changes the default download directory as well. It's not recommended you change any default download category.

    Go Top




    Q.I download from an FTP server with broken downloads (resume) support via a proxy server, but FlashGet always starts downloading from the beginning. Why?
    A.The proxy-server might not be supporting resume (like Microsoft Proxy Server). If this is the case, you should try to use direct connection or Winsock-client.

    Go Top




    Q.What is the PASV mode (passive mode)?
    A.Usually, when retrieving files over FTP, two connections are used. One for commands and one for data. Command connection is set by the client and the data connection is set by server. In some cases (when using firewall for instance) both connections have to be set by the client. In such a cases the server goes to passive mode when a PASV command is sent from the client.

    Go Top




    Q.I can't retrieve a file from an FTP server! What can I do?
    A.If you are connected to Internet through a firewall/proxy server, please enable PASV mode in FlashGet by going to Tools > Optons... > Proxy and editing your proxy connection there.

    Q.Click Monitoring with Netscape,Mozilla and Opera
    A.Click here for more information.

    Go Top




    Q.Can I put a link to Amaze Software from my web site?
    A.Yes (and feel free to use any of the images or animations here or from the FlashGet web site too.)








    Send any good FlashGet images you've created and would like to share!

    Go Top




    Q.How download from boxup.com?
    A.This site use CGI re-directs to files confuse IE and FlashGet. Please install Opera and install FlashGet Oprea plug-in.FlashGet will get the correct URLs.

    Go Top




    Q.Click monitoring doesn't work on a specific web site. Why?
    A.Sites which use CGI re-directs to files can confuse IE and FlashGet. Try holding CTRL and ALT when clicking the link you want if it isn't working automatically. This will force FlashGet to try and download the file.For recommend please install Opera and FlashGet Opera plug-in, flashget will catch the URLs automatically.

    Go Top




    Q.How download files one by one?
    A.Set "Max simultaneous jobs" to 1 in "Options/Connections", start all files which you want download, files will download one by one.

    Go Top




    Q.Trouble connecing using an ISA Proxy server
    A.The standard install applies protocol rules to members of a security group called "BackOffice Internet Users". This refuses to let FlashGet through the firewall. Changing the setting for that group to "Any request" should help FlashGet get thru. To get to the relevant setting:

    From the SBS console:
    Expand ISA in the tree
    Expand Servers and Arrays
    Expand the server name
    Expand Access Policy
    Left click on Protocol Rules
    Right click on the rule shown in the list view and click Properties
    Click the Applies To tab
    Change setting to "Any Request"

    Q.Linux Version?
    A.There havn't a native version of FlashGet for Linux. But we've heard reports that some Linux users have been able to use the Windows version of FlashGet with the "Wine Windows Emulator" .

    A.This feature only support by IE. this is limtions of other browser.

    Flashgot is an extension for integrating FlashGet and Mozilla Firefox 0.9 or later. It is available on Mozilla Update. Note that some antivirus software may incorrecly claim that it has a virus, as it uses Visual Basic Script (.vbs) files when integrating with Internet Explorer. Thanks Giorgio Maone.
