雷鸣 (ID: 0000000e629fb62c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/08/2024 不能下载電影"藍江傳之反飛組風雲https://www.360-yst.com/vplay/17902/1/2/,终于弄明白下载插件功能,还是存在断点无法下载想要重新下载模式,不知道是不是超过2GB以上视频中断,反正有一个下载器是限制2GB视频相当于4小时30分钟720清晰度视频,厂家提供30给免费视频下载超过需要购买VIP服务体验或者第二天下载视频机会,希望免费体验增加断点连续下载要不然浪费时间成本很多,我下载9小时30分钟视频一个月都是失败不知道是不是节点网速数据包导致还没有弄清楚。测试报告不知道能不能发表新的评论机会,谷歌浏览器应用商店限制一个人评论一次可以修改评论功能。
