So, sometimes the download link they get looks like this:
http://www.idea.net/downloads/download.php?file=tbhgdQQZT8cMe8Nd
And sometimes the download link looks like this:
So one of them is nice and small, and the other one is massive and ugly.
Moreover, the massive one has a tendency to break, meaning, the first part
of the URL will be hyperlinked in blue (i.e., clickable) while the rest of the link
is just plain text.
To be clear.. this part is in blue: http://www.idea.net/downloads/
...and the rest of it is just normal text: download.php?file=tOzsnghtT8cNe8R5lX4FnldgRb5ApD5%2BLMugxIc%2BLxW58%2Fm7iuSn7sJVLPEAIDYAu1wnK0ZhHuFzGEyvngs3rQt62Sao0MOnwgg2aLPUIBba5rJn8H4F41ImhcqWjYvNHMk%2FxpNL7bn2B7is
Therefore, the only way to download it is to copy/paste, since clicking
the link results in a "404 not found."
So my question is, how do I make it so that it uses only short links,
instead of the super long one's?
Also, is there a way to use some kind of shortlink method, like with
TinyURL? That would be the optimal solution, in my case.
Thanks!
