Downloading from Yahoo Groups
There are a several settings within GetRight that need to be configured. There are different steps below if you are downloading for Yahoo's "adult" groups.
Yahoo may only let one program/computer be logged into an account at the same time. Try opening the page in your browser showing the files you want, then doing the steps below to log GetRight into the Yahoo Groups, then add the files from the browser.
If you are adding many files from many pages, a better way is to set GetRight on the Downloads config page to either download all files later, or ask you...and click Later yourself. Then you can add all the files from all the yahoo groups before doing the steps below to log GetRight in so it can download the files.
Step 1:
You must have GetRight 5.0 or higher installed. (Download GetRight 5.0.)
Step 2:
Go to GetRight's "Internet+Login+Web Page" Configuration page and click "Add" to create a login for Yahoo Groups.
On the new window that opens, use these settings:
Login Form URL: http://login.yahoo.com/config/login
Use this Login form...: yahoo.com
Click the Download Form from URL button.
Then fill in your Yahoo Groups login and password in the newly downloaded form.
The .persistent checkbox is optional, but reccomended, as it will speed things up if you download several files at a time.
(This is the 'remember my ID...' setting.)
Step 3:
Go to GetRight's "Internet+Login+Cookies" Configuration page and make sure Directly accept and send cookies is checked.
We reccomend that Use cookies from your web browser is also checked--it doesn't effect Yahoo Groups, but it helps with many other sites.
The Clear all GetRight cookies whenever GetRight Closes checkbox is optional.
That's it!
Alternate Login method + Extra step for downloading from Yahoo's Adult Groups.
If you are using the Yahoo adult groups, you will need to log into Yahoo manually and do the extra step so all the right cookie values can be set in the right order before starting your downloads.
Step 1:
Open the Download Status, Tools->Log Into Web Site menu. Then you can fill in the information
and log into Yahoo Groups.
Step 2:
Then Yahoo's adult groups require an extra confirmation. If GetRight isn't downloading the files correctly, open this page in the GetRight Browser.
This loads the additional 'adult content confirmation cookie' into GetRight, allowing it to continue the download.
