The file sharing links posted on forums are not truly direct download links. We have enter captcha, wait for some time, etc.

I am wondering how can we generate/obtain download links which allows us to directly download the files.

What I want to do is...

If I have direct download links, then I can directly upload such files to my firedrive account (firedrive allows remote url uploading, but the upload link should be directly of that file and NOT the normal download link).

And after uploading to firedrive account, I can directly stream the movie without having to download it to my laptop.

Is something like this possible?

Would be grateful if anyone can provide some inputs on this..

The point is that there are not many possibilities how people can share the files:
  • File hosters
  • BitTorrent
  • P2P programs
Normal links would only be possible if you have a web server running on your own. And no one would do that. Same goes for rented space (like a server, some web space, DropBox or whatever).

You could do that if you paid for a rapidleech or something similar, but those services only support a small portion of hosts that don't have strict bandwidth limits (rapidgator, uploaded, etc.). A rapidleech downloads the file to their server and then gives you a direct link to it, which you could remote upload to your firedrive or just stream directly (VLC supports streaming over HTTP if you go to "Open Network Stream"). You pay for a share of hard disk space and a certain amount of bandwidth.

If you have a premium account you could technically download the file to your own server and do the same, but it's almost always forbidden in the ToS to use those services from anything but a home connection. Rapidleech services, premium link generators, etc. always have occasional problems due to their accounts being terminated.
