Dell: Replace all driver "download" buttons with direct links (Australian)

I'm not sure if this works on the US site, but this worked a treat for me on the Australian site.

The main issue was I was getting annoyed with the Javascript download question asking me to use the download manager.

I just wanted to queue up files into my own download manager and batch download the files during my off-peak period.

When you're on the driver download page, open up Firebug and paste this into the console.

view sourceprint?

01.var rex = /javascript:DownloadFile\('\d+','\d+','.+','(.+)','\w+','HTTP'\);/;

02. 

03.var x = $('a[href*="javascript:DownloadFile"]').each(function(index, item) {

04.  var obj = $(item);

05.  var href = obj.attr('href');

06.  var match = rex.exec(href);

07. 

08.  if (match != null) {

09.    var url = unescape(match[1])

10.    obj.attr('href', url);

11.  }

12.});

This will change all the "download file" buttons so they point to the direct file download link.

I'm sure someone can easily convert this into a GreaseMonkey script.

Now, back to the horrors of formatting!
