Getting mediafire directlink without using WebBrowser .NET control ?

Question

I'm looking for the way to get the direct link from mediafire. By default, when a user visits a download link, he will be presented with a download page where he has to wait for the download to be processed and then a link will appear.

I googled and found a VB.NET 2008 solution to this using WebBrowser WB

It works pretty well but I'm tired of pop-up windows and the loading speed. So, I wonder if there is a solution to this problem? (a non WB solution ^^)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dim req As HttpWebRequest, res As HttpWebResponse
Dim cok As New CookieContainer, str As String, match As Match
req = WebRequest.Create("http://www.mediafire.com/?65d1dftjwml")
req.CookieContainer = cok
res = req.GetResponse
str = New StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream).ReadToEnd
match = Regex.Match(str, "cu\('(.+)','(.+)','(.+)'\);")
Dim qk As String = match.Groups(1).Value
Dim pk As String = match.Groups(2).Value
Dim r As String = match.Groups(3).Value
Dim t As String = "http://www.mediafire.com/dynamic/download.php?qk=" & qk & "&pk=" & pk & "&r=" & r & "&ukey=" & res.Cookies.Item("ukey").Value

req = WebRequest.Create(t)
res = req.GetResponse
txtcode.Text = New StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream).ReadToEnd

Answer 4

the final block of code on my original answer is cut off - it shows the C# code on evaluating jscript:

  int varpos1 = html.IndexOf("<script language=\"Javascript\">")+35;
  //The variables are declared just before the 'function'
  int varpos2 = html.IndexOf("function",varpos1);
  string vardata = html.Substring(varpos1, varpos2 - varpos1);

  int hrefpos1 = html.IndexOf("href=\\\"http://", varpos2)+6 ;
  int hrefpos2 = html.IndexOf(">", hrefpos1);
  string hrefdata = String.Format("var url = {0};", html.Substring(hrefpos1, hrefpos2 - hrefpos1-5));
  object Result = EvalJScript(vardata + "\n" + hrefdata);
  Console.WriteLine(Result.ToString());
