I'm a normal user with ZERO coding experience
I have been trying to do this for years and searched for it for days

Is there a script for windows that I can use to get the direct download link (download link from the server) for an local download or update being downloading through the app itself

So I can take that direct download link and manually download it through browser or using a download manager for better options like more speed and pause resume feature...

What I have tried:

Resource monitor

Process monitor

This makes no sense. I have no idea what you're talking about. What do you mean by "direct download link from the server"? What type of server? What do you mean by "a local download or update being downloaded"? Through what app?

Download managers do not make downloads faster. Most will give you the ability to resume a bad download or pause/resume.

IDM it's main key that users pay for it that it is a speed booster... And I'm one of those

My question is not that hard or nonsense...
You gonna find an answer down there as a solution that understood what I mean
I posted this question in different communities and many people understood what I mean..
It is not my problem buddy

Don't confuse a flat out guess at what you meant with understanding what you meant. All I did was ask for clarification on what you meant, and you sh*t on me for it. That problem is entirely on you.

The link that is published on the website is the direct link. There is nothing more needed.

1 solution

Unless a server application is incredibly badly secured and managed, you cannot find out the direct source for files that you want to download because that would be a massive security hole. Providing access to the internals of the file system of a server means that a site has opened up information that should not be available to external sources because this is exploitable information.

@Pete O'Hanlon
I understood that after a bit of research...
But is there any way to transfer the download operation to the browser and download it via browser or a download manager !

Unfortunately, there isn't. The server controls what is available for download.
