2024-10-19 hunkyburrito Works fairly well but I had to fix a few annoyances myself to make it better. * Leftover files in download folder when using interrupt mode: Modify worker.js line 299 to be ` chrome.downloads.cancel(...) ` instead of ` chrome.downloads.pause(...) ` * Referrer sometimes not getting passed to JD correctly (I think it's just flash/add interface that was incorrect) Modify worker.js line 66, replacing ` chrome.runtime.getURL('') ` with ` d.referrer || '' ` * Package name not using the one from packagizer Comment/remove line 62 in worker.js
