Notes on Hoster Pages

This app does not bypass host wait timers, captchas, login prompts, or anti-bot protections.

Some hosts use multi-step flows that change over time. This tool is designed to:

• extract and display mirror links reliably
• let you copy links for JDownloader
• open host pages in your browser for normal completion

Local Config

• settings.json stores your saved download folder
• getcomics_header.png is a cached header image
• Both are excluded from git via .gitignore
