    8. then go to the "privacy" tab in the flashgot options and make sure you have "send auto-detected referrer URL" enabled. it might already be set on this option by default

    9.now open flashget and go to its "tools" menu and make sure its set as the default download manager . if you only have one download manager on your computer it should already be selected as the default download manager

    10. go to whatever game you want to download and wait for a firefox download box to come up

    11.when it asks what should firefox do with this file click on flashgot and in the box next to it make sure it shows "flashget" if not click the down arrow till you find it and click on it. then click "ok"

    12.ok then open flashget and go to "tools" then scroll down to "options"and open it. click on the "protocol" option (on the left) and enable cookies by putting a checkmark in the box

    You don't have to fill in the Login to server part, you just need to enable cookies.

    Some of those options I don't even have to do. Also, holding Alt while clicking a download link transfers it straight to Flashget I think.

    I just Alt - Click the download link and click start :) works fine for me, or clicking the link and then choosing flashgot as the download option works fine too :) No settings really need to be changed at all so long as you have cookies
