Hi
I have made several changes to the revised Megaupload Link Checker and i decided to post the code but not on the blog page. This is in presentation sake and even readability. You can still see the code in you browser but you can also download it for better reading.

Here are the links:

Link_Checker_TESTBED.php.txt

The latest version of the plugin

The Megaupload checker post Source Code

Here go the valid megaupload links to a nice game called :O…The Witcher. The links were checked and are all working.

6) Exit from installation wizard
7) use witcher.nodvd.or Proper variant crack
(if you are having problems with witcher.nondvd.rar crack)
from crack folder from the second dvd

Hi

Recently I have been busy building a WordPress plugin that hourly checks if the Megaupload links in the blog posts are valid. In this post i will try to document some mistakes i have made during the development so as to help anybody who reads this and prevent them.

I started developing where I left in my first link checker plugin. I knew it was broken because it wouldn’t run even in my own installation. Apparently my hosting company, A2hosting, recently disabled the support for fopen to open remote url due to security issues. The error that the script would spit out would be something like this.

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

This feature is disabled because if an attacker takes control of the site he can easily embeded another site in yours just with a simple fopen,fread routine. It is called cross site scripting

So, again with developing. In my, then, current approach i still had to download the pages to check their html for an offending “invalid Link” string in them. This led me to a function that wordpress provides called wp_remote_fopen. As the information the codex is pretty sparse I set out to look at the source code, and I found it. Here is the php snippet.

function remote_fopen( $uri ) {
	if ( ini_get('allow_url_fopen') ) {
		$fp = fopen( $uri, 'r' );
		if ( !$fp )
			return false;
		$linea = '';
		while( $remote_read = fread($fp, 4096) )
			$linea .= $remote_read;
		fclose($fp);
		return $linea;		
	} else if ( function_exists('curl_init') ) {
		$handle = curl_init();
		curl_setopt ($handle, CURLOPT_URL, $uri);
		curl_setopt ($handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 1);
		curl_setopt ($handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
		$buffer = curl_exec($handle);
		curl_close($handle);
		return $buffer;
	} else {
		return false;
	}	
}

If you don’t understand what it does here is a brief explanation:

It checks if the url opening feature of fopen is active and if so downloads the contents of the url passed in the functions argument to a buffer which the function returns. If like in our case the url feature is not active it will use the cURL to do exactly the same. I think cURL is safer because it cannot retrieve local resources such as a /etc/passwd file.

When I resolved this problem something strange started happening. My link checker seemed to work intermittently and close to randomly. I lost a great amount of time trying to understand why. As my initial approach to check the links was a crude checking of an “Invalid Link” string in the html this generated a great succession of requests to megaupload, resulting in megaupload banning the IP from my server temporarily (2 minutes i think). The page was this one: http://www.megaupload.com/?c=msg
I took a long time noticing this page because it was my server IP that was blocked, not mine, so when i tried myself everything looked fine. To worsen matters the page only shows up if you are not logged in. This is a great lesson to learn because most sites will block your requests if you do a lot of them and too fast. And the code will work intermittently because the banning time is up.

So i will tell you how I found my final solution: I knew that the megamanager, the megaupload official program, had a functionality that included batch link checking. As megamanager didn’t run in Linux/Wine (it will be a future project of mine) i had to use my girlfriend laptop to fire it up. I took a look at it and wondered how it made the magic. I suspected it would use web based link checking but nowhere in the site was such service publicized. To confirm my hypothesis I fired Wireshark and took a look at the what a link checking produced in my connection. Voila. A connection to a php page with the links to check (url)encoded into the headers.

That’s it for today. In my next post I will continue where i left in this post stating exactly how megamanager checks the links and how that works out for us.

Note: if you are really curious just inspect the http packets

Recently i  have been noticing that megaupload premium is very slow. At first i thought it was because in Linux download managers like Wget or curl didnt support multi threaded downloads a la Flashget but as i tried to download with my rapidshare premium i noticed the speed wasn’t so slow, quite the contrary as a matter of fact. It is a pain in the ass because i let my rapidshare expire and made a kind of society with some friends of mine to buy a 1-year premium account at megaupload. I would like to know if anyone by any chance been having the same problems I’m describing. To terminate i just want note that things seem to be stabilizing but not quite the full power i had in the initial days, namely downloads at approximately my connection cap speed, 1.2Mbyte/sec.

In case you like it buy it! It’s really cheap offAmazon.com

Hi

Recently my girlfriend showed me a series that already ended that’s very cool. i searched the net for megaupload links and deliver it to you. I guarantee you that the links will always be operational

If you don’t know what Dead Like me is about read the following, brought to you by Wikipedia.com

Georgia Lass is aloof and emotionally distant from her family and shied away from her life. After dropping out of college, she takes a job at Happy Time Temporary Services. On her lunch break of her first day, she is hit and killed by a toilet seat from the de-orbiting of the Mir space station. She is informed shortly after her death that, rather than moving on to the “great beyond”, she will become a grim reaper in the “external influence” division, responsible for reaping souls of people who die in accidents (many of which are of Rube Goldberg-style and complexity), suicides and homicides.

Through the first season, George has trouble adjusting to her circumstances: collecting souls, while holding a day job at Happy Time. By the second season, she has mostly adjusted to her new role, though still has unresolved issues with her life and her afterlife.

George’s family is struggling to deal with her death. Her mother, Joy, is depressed, and visibly repressing it, while Clancy, her father, is cheating on Joy. George’s sister, Reggie, acts out — stealing toilet seats from neighbors and school, and hanging them on a tree — before being sent to therapy by Joy. She clings to the belief that George visits her, but is starting to lie to cover this up. At the start of the second season, the family began to break apart as divorce proceedings began.

Nearly all of the main characters have some form of depression, but they cope with it in different ways: Mason resorts to alcohol and drugs; Daisy puts on a veneer of perkiness; and Roxy is physically and verbally aggressive. Rube and George are more open about their sadness.
