How DownloaderChecker Works

  1. 01

    Enter a Code

    Type a numeric Downloader code, or paste an aftv.news link that contains one.

  2. 02

    We Check It

    DownloaderChecker requests the code, follows HTTP redirects, and records the response it receives.

  3. 03

    Review the Result

    Read the destination, status, redirect path, and whether the destination has changed since an earlier check.

What DownloaderChecker Shows

Destination
The final public URL and hostname the code reached, when the check can display them.
Redirects
Each HTTP hop between the short code and the final response, with status codes.
Status
Whether the destination responded, redirected, failed, timed out, or was blocked from inspection.
Change Detection
A warning when a later successful check sees a different destination than one stored earlier.

Why Check a Downloader Code?

A Downloader code is a short link. The page or file it opens is chosen by whoever controls that code, and it can change later. Redirects can also put several hosts between the code and the final address. DownloaderChecker shows the current destination and the path taken to reach it so you can look at that information before you open the code on a TV or Android device. A response from the destination only means a server answered. It does not describe the contents of a file.

Common Questions

What is a Downloader code?

It is a numeric short code used by the Downloader app. The code points at a URL, which may redirect before it reaches a final address.

Is DownloaderChecker part of the Downloader app?

No. DownloaderChecker is an independent service and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by AFTVnews or the Downloader app.

Does a working result mean a file is safe?

No. Working means the destination responded successfully when it was checked. It is not a verdict about the file, the publisher, or what the destination might do later.
