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.amazesoft.com/download.htm. The referrer in this case would be http://www.amazesoft.com/download.
