Hi, BitShifter:
http://www.novavide.com/TRlevels/CopyCat.zip
( www.novavide.com, is this a virtual host at webjump.com, Kevin? )
Rascal webjump.com has a peculiar nasty way of url cameleonage system. If you
set the location the above url and begin downloading, there appears three-frame
html file. Main frame has this:
FRAME src="http://freehosting1.at.webjump.com/xxxxxxxxx/no/novavide/trlevels/copycat.zip"
N.B. the filename is now lowercase.
and this "xxxxxxxxx" part changes at some ( not-constant? ) interval.
This strategy may be employed to discourage downloading large files, i think.
You think you almost got it, when the "xxxxxxxxx" changes into "yyyyyyyyy" and
the link is lost. Quite nasty, isn't it.
Download tools such as ReGet or RetRight were perplexed by this behavior ( newer
versions i don't know ).
There's some counter-webjump download tools but they seem to be useless when the
host is virtual.
So you do download by the browser. When about to change "xxxxxxxxx" part webjump
seems to get into insensitive mood and sometimes "not found" message appears in
the main frame. After sometime just "Reload".
