[META] Problem with Megadownloader | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Problem with Megadownloader

I rely on MegaDownLoader and it's worked great until yesterday. I'm having sporadic problem now. Sometimes when I copy a URL, MDL doesn't catch pick it up from my clipboard. Also it won't let me paste it into Add Links box. When this happens for a particular URL, even typing the URL manually into the add links box doesn't work; MDL just says "no valid links have been inserted". The URL format is fine.

So, two questions: Anyone know what this is? And, anyone know another way I can get MDL to accept the URL when this happens? Thanks.

edit: Thanks to u/harryharpratap for the solution. I didn't realize that the link would still 'work' without the #.

Can you provide a sample link? Maybe depends on the link

Sure. https://www.reddit.com/r/megalinks/comments/5s9pez/movie_spectre20151080pblurayhevcaac51x265_252gb/

I don't want to direct link to the files since that might be breaking a rule. The link and decryption in that post work, but MDL won't accept the final URL when viewing the files.

just add a # sign before the link ID.

The link ID will be #F!uJplXKJT instead of the one posted there. I tried it now and it works fine.

PERFECT. Thank you.

Weird that the link without the # works otherwise. I assumed if anything was wrong with the URL that it wouldn't take me to the files at all.

I have the same problem.
E: Apparently just some links don't work.

Hmm. What I'm sometimes getting is something different than a 'dead link'. I can view the files and even DL using my browser, just not with MDL. (Which is not preferable since I'll run into data caps quickly.) Per comments on those particular posts, others are DLing it.

That's exactly the problem here, it didn't accept the link on "Land of Mine", but I could download it via browser. Other links worked so far today.

Turns out it was a URL problem after all, per u/harryharpratap
