[Bug] - Slow download speeds compared to direct downloads

[JasonLandbridge]

It has been reported several times that certain servers have a much slower download speed when using PlexRipper, compared to direct downloading through a browser. I have been able to reproduce this so I will investigate this, I hope to have a fix in the next release as this is a high priority one.

Workaround:

Downloading something will show a "graph icon" next to it on the download page. Click it and it will open some details which include a direct download link:

I have this problem, I came here to report it and found your ticket.

@JasonLandbridge I have found that the link you are indicating here hasn't worked for me. I had to make a change and add a query parameter.

Instead of
http://SERVER:PORT/KEY?X-Plex-Token=TOKEN, I had to use http://SERVER:PORT/KEY?download=1&X-Plex-Token=TOKEN.

@BakasuraRCE thank you so much! This was indeed the issue and I have been able to fix this in the latest v0.9.0 release. I've given you an honorable mention in the release notes
