Copy download location

[FNb]

Sometimes, I want to copy the final download location (to use an external download manager, for resume/acceleration)

Assuming you're talking about the final local location, this is {file}.

Assuming you're talking about the final URL, I always build this as {sdownload} and populate the download URL with that. I've used this in many instances to use external downloaders (like Megaget, aria2, curl and so on) with the "exit 3" behavior. I've posted examples here on the forum.

What's the exit 3 behavior?

Exit codes are a way to tell Ketarin how to behave from within your pre-download script. Exit 3 means "Skip downloading, but update the last updated date of the application and mark as update downloaded. Allows you to use an external download application to download the file, but still mark it as properly updated in Ketarin."

You can read more about the "exit" behavior here.
