Many websites, like many of the popular file hosting providers, display pages during the process of selecting a file for download and the actual downloading that are usually skipped by most of the users. Take the popular file hoster Rapidshare for example: They always display the free user / premium user page even after starting multiple downloads as a free user. The same can be said for several other file hosting and image hosting websites who do display these kind of pages to their users constantly.
Skip Screen is a extension for the Firefox web browser that skips those pages on various websites. The add-on is currently supporting the following nine file hosting websites: Rapidshare, zShare, MediaFire, Megaupload, Sharebee, Depositfiles, Sendspace, Divshare and Linkbucks.
The add-on for the web browser will automatically skip those pages. A message will be displayed above the Firefox status bar to give the user an indication that pages were skipped. Some file hosters do still require user action to start the download of the files while some will instantly display the save file browser to download the file to the local computer. This is for instance at Depositfiles the case. The developer of the Firefox extension is encouraging users to suggest websites that make use of unnecessary pages.
The add-on is currently experimental which means users need to log into the Mozilla website to download and install the add-on.

Still having problems?
Hej Paulus,
thanks that’s the right url. Problems are solved :)
Nice find – this was something that could be achieved with a greasemonkey script or two or through url hacks but this will speed things up a little.
