Error message

Download links not found. Make sure you can download from the website.

What it means

Thrown during FunFile.PerformQuery while iterating search-result rows. Each row (matched by the selector 'table.mainframe table[cellpadding="2"] > tbody > tr:has(td.row3)') is expected to contain an anchor with an href starting with 'download.php'. If that anchor is missing on any row, the indexer aborts the entire parse with this message. This is a scraper-fragility error: it fires when the site's HTML markup does not match the indexer's assumptions.

Solutions

1. Open the FunFile search page in a browser and confirm download links are present on result rows.
2. Check if the FunFile site was recently redesigned; if so, the indexer selector needs updating.
3. Ensure the configured account has download permissions for all categories being searched.
4. Skip rows missing the link instead of throwing, so a single bad row does not kill the whole query.
5. Report the HTML change to the Jackett maintainers with a sample of the page source.

Example fix

// before
var qDownloadLink = row.QuerySelector("a[href^=\"download.php\"]");
if (qDownloadLink == null)
    throw new Exception("Download links not found. Make sure you can download from the website.");
// after - skip rows without a link
var qDownloadLink = row.QuerySelector("a[href^=\"download.php\"]");
if (qDownloadLink == null)
    continue;

// Before parsing, confirm results page actually has download rows
var rows = dom.QuerySelectorAll("table.mainframe table[cellpadding=\"2\"] > tbody > tr:has(td.row3)");
if (!rows.Any(r => r.QuerySelector("a[href^=\"download.php\"]") != null))
    logger.Warn("No downloadable rows found — site layout may have changed.");

try
{
    var releases = await indexer.PerformQuery(query);
}
catch (Exception ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("Download links not found"))
{
    // Scraper mismatch — FunFile HTML changed or account lacks download rights
    logger.Error("FunFile parse failure: {Message}", ex.Message);
    // Do not retry blindly; the selector needs updating
}

When it happens

Trigger: A matched table row has no download link anchor — because the torrent was deleted, the user lacks download permission for that torrent, or FunFile changed its table/column HTML layout so rows match but links moved or were renamed.

Common situations: FunFile pushes a UI redesign that renames download.php links or wraps them in JavaScript; a low-seed/dead torrent row renders without a download button; the user's account class lacks download rights for certain categories.
