Say I go to a website to download a certain file and this website has a "Download" button. How can I extract the download address so to be able to download the file with Flashget?
An example of such a page is this one:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/softw...entid=11022,osid=1

On some pages you can just view source of the page.

For example in the one you posted, if you view the source and scroll down far enough you see the paths to the different languages of the exes:

Hope this helps..

Thanks fatfreechicken, it works perfectly. I did remember you could examine the source page and look for the address but sometimes in some webpages they hide it from the source to avoid download managers like Flashget. Is there an addon that will enable to extract the download address by say right clicking on the download button and choose the appropriate option from the drop down menu?

You can also right click and go "copy link location" and it should copy to the clipboard, and I guess you can paste it into this flashget thing. This won't always work because some sites serve up files after verifying you with some sort of [generic] script, and I'm afraid there's not a whole heap you can do about that.
