Hotfile link extractor

Posted on September 24th, 2009 by hamstar

A mate of mine needed a link extractor for his hotfile.com account so that he could drop a bunch of download page links in and get the premium links to the actual file back, all in a single page, or file. From that page or file he can load them into his download program. These are all legit links btw, no illegal shit.

Anyways I made a bot that has a form to start with where you dump your download urls. Then it goes to the hotfile site, logs in with the given user credentials, runs through each link that the bot was given, and extracts the premium download URL to the file. Then it either prints the links to the page OR it saves the links into a files.txt in the web folder and forces a download in the browser.

The manual way to do that is go to every hotfile.com download link, click on the download file button to start the download, and repeat for every download url you have. This you can throw 50 hotfile.com download links in the form, hit go and it will give you all the premium download links at once. It probably breaks the hotfile terms and services so you could put your account in jeopardy (not my fault) but I don’t use the script, I just solved a problem.

Here’s the code for it if anyone wants to use it. Would be cool if you let me know if it was useful as well :)
