Download addons directly from Garrysmod.org

Well, now that Megaupload is down, most of the uploaded addons are gone.

As you may know, you must own Gmod to download from garrysmod.org.
But there is a way to bypass the security system.

How to do it:

1. Find the addon.
2. Copy the six numbers at the end of the URL.
For instance, if you want to download tron_cyc_arena_a5:
The URL is http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=128125, so the number you need will be 128125.3. Open a new tab, and go to files.garrysmod.org/<number>.zip
Like this: http://files.garrysmod.org/128125.zip

4. Enjoy!

Hi.
I made this bookmarklet that grabs the download link for the current garrysmod.org page then opens it.
(it downloads whatever addon is on the page you're looking at)
It won't always work, because for some reason not all addons on there have a .zip named after their ID.
Just drag and drop this to your bookmarks and click on it when on a garrysmod.org addon page: Gmod
Hope this helps, took me longer than it should have to make :p

EDIT: Drag and drop does not seem to work on forums, try copying this:
Code:
javascript:url1=window.location.href.slice(46);url2=url1+".zip";url3="files.garrysmod.org/"+url2;window.location=url3;
and pasting it in the url when making a new bookmark.

EDIT2: Made it 'smarter' so it actually searches for the ID in the url:
Code:
javascript:win=window.location.href;url1=win.slice(win.indexOf("id=")+3);url2=url1+".zip";url3="files.garrysmod.org/"+url2;window.location="http://"+url3;

Good job there, think we can get a group together for making a
greasemonkey script that grabs the download link?

Contact me by email if you got some ideas! (jjjusea[at]mail.com)

I would, but i'd need to know what browser you use (chrome, internet explorer, firefox, etc.) because it's different for each browser.
