September 16th, 2009· Added new "Only resolve redirect links at download time' option to Advanced Config->Redirect Links
· Normally BID will resolve all redirection links immediately after a page is loaded. The problem with this is that some redirection "services" (like urlcash) will ban you IP if too many lookups are performed within a short space of time. To reduce the chances of your IP being banned this option will cause BID to perform the lookup just before it attempts to download the full sized image. For best results you may also need to reduce the number of simulateneous downloads.
· Added automatic link derivation for cocoimage images
September 16th, 2009· Improved redirection resolution
Some redirection "services" like urlcash block a user's IP if there are too many redirection lookups within a certain period. To minimise this problem BID can now derive the full sized image link directly from the thumbnailed image without having to resolve the redirection link. This works for the following image hosts:
· imagevenue, imagefap, imagebam, hotlinkimage, picfoco, pixhost, upmyphoto, imagehaven, cocoimage
· (Make sure the "Don't follow redirect links..." option is enabled in Advanced Config->Redirect Links).
· Links were not extracted correctly on some web sites (fixed)

August 28th, 2009· include/ignore/redirect lists now support simple "must contain" or "must not contain" substring matching.
· Many users find regular expressions hard to understand so now BID allows for simple substring matching.
· If a link must include a certain string use the form
· e.g.
· (only links containing "example.com/image.php" will match)
· If a link must exclude a certain string use the form
· e.g.
· (only links that don't contain "something=1" will match).
· These may be combined together - all must be true for a link to be matched.
e.g. To match URLs containing "wantthis=1" and "alsowantthis=2" that don't contain "unwanted=1":
· A normal regular expression can follow, e.g. example above but URL must end with "test=1"
· test=1$
