    hey, i got Flashget for Firefox, and FlashGot manager

    I go to the rom I want, click Download.... It asks me to Open with WRAR or FlashGot -- I click FlashGot.... It tells me referrer, URL, etc... and directory to save--- creates it....

    Then...... nothing. Got my little green blip flashing in the Flashgot box, but no movement..... at all.... and the file it's supposed to be doing something with is called index.htm instead of the .rar file....


    help................................

    OK THAT WAS WEIRD------

    I tried again, this time I gnored the Open requests, and simply said SAVE TO DISK -- which it did using FireFox INSTEAD of the FlashGot which I read to use !

    It downloaded no problem and I see the file in winrar.

    So I guess no use FlashGot, because when I would click to download, my options with FlashGot were OPEN USING FlashGot, OPEN USING WINRAR, or SAVE TO DISK

    thanks

    yeah, it's working now for me too... i think my Firewall had it blocked, NOT the referrer as mentioned in here, but there was NO ACCESS granted to the program (using ZONE ALARM) folks might want to check if they have any problems.
