Bypass Proxy and Download blocked files at Work
In case your office network has blocked some of the types of file extensions like .zip or .exe , it becomes very irritating as even to test small things you can not download it. This is what is happening with me as I am behind a proxy and all those file extensions are blocked. But now i got a solution for his. Download at Work is an online tool which allows you to download any type of file.
This is what it does.
- Takes the URL of the file which you want to download.
- Asks you to select the extension in which format you want to download in to your machine.
- Also gives you a .aaa extensions which should not be blocked ( unless they get to know it).
Here is a snpshot of it
After you download the file, just rename the extension of the original file. The only flaw here is in case your the administrator sees lot of files getting downloaded from the same url , they might block it forever. But till then…

Hi there,
i put this application also at http://bhtrance.com/dw if someone had it blocked…
not able to download the link thru this site. the link is http://download116.mediafire.com/0lo4w4njomng/h6fwhjigegn/Fabregas+V+Italy+%28Quarter+Finals%29+%28CR7RonaldoCR17%29.part2.rar
it shows downloaded in a second but the file cant be opened.Whats the problem?
Hi VS07,
This is not a absolute url to the file, this site has a kind of script to make you download, not the real url.
People do by this way sometimes to have a control of the downloads and to protect their file directories… So, sorry, but my application will not help you…
Thanks
what is the size limitation of the file,
is itpossible that the size be split to manageable sizes of 25MB or so, so that i can redownload as parts, some places have size restrictions
regards
sir,
i have problems finding the absolute URL of sertain files cn u guide me about how to find the absolute URL its urgent plz help
Finding the absolute url is not always possible, the first you have to try is to find the link where you click to download, if its a button, probally you have a javascript function to do that, may you can find the url inside the function…
