[Solved] Help needed - how to change extension of video files before downloading?

[manu]

my network provider (administrator) has blocked the downloading of video files by blocking file extension. i can download all other file formats. is there any way to change the url or file extension to .txt or any other format before downloading?

even torrent download is not working with video files.

to make it more clear : is there any web service that grabs the " abcd.mkv " link and allow me to download it as "abcd.exe" or any other file format?

:please: :beg: HELP

have you tried removing or changing the file extension from IDM's 'save as'?

using proxy would be best I think, or change the DNS (if possible). since it read the address, I'm not sure it's so easy just change the save as.

Edit:

So, it already solved. sorry, I missed it before :P

Well good for you then :)
