Re: My humble request

Javascript redirects are intentional. Vimm's Lair has always had limited bandwidth available, so Vimm doesn't want a select few queuing up downloads all day and eating up a big portion of the bandwidth. So, he makes it hard for people to write scripts or to use download managers with the Lair (e.g. trying to script sending forms to the lair with curl doesn't work because the site detects you aren't using a browser).

For faster/bigger/queued-up downloads, you'll have to go to another site (like archive.org).

Mr. Lair, can you please add download links instead of a JavaScript redirect? I would like to download games via the wget command in Linux to download faster, however that is very hard to do without the actual download link in question.
