Summary0001288: ed2k links generation with favorite language needs to be done server side (not javascripting or ajax)
DescriptionWhen you go on a group-anime page, like the following:
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=group&gid=374&aid=12

With AJAX enabled, the ed2k link will be generated according to your language and format preferences (you can choose it at the bottom of the page).

The issue with the current way it works is that it is not done before page loading, but somewhen after page loading.

1) The server will be asked two times for the same thing, first time for an ed2k link in English, second time for an ed2k link in your favorite language. To avoid this unnecessary work, it should directly ask for the correct language.

2) Because currently the language process is not instantly done, I often happened to click on all the ed2k links of a page, and after that I notice on my ed2k software that I added a mix of links with sometimes English names, sometimes French names... which could be extremely confusing. To avoid this mix of languages, it should directly ask for the correct language.

That is why I recommand the ed2k links generations to be done directly on server side before page load, and not after page load.

well, the original idea was indeed to do this server-sided but it's rather more easy to do it by javascript.
And don't wory about getting the same data twice, you get all the data for generating the ed2k link in javascript in the data xml and because i need the rest of the data anyway link generation is done free of charge.

and realy, it's not done quickly enough only on IE < 8, because the javascript engine is very slow for those versions.

There is another issue with the Javascript: it is not on all possible pages (anime page, ed2k dump page, ...), so ed2k links don't show all the same depending of where you are. Server-side handling of ed2k links could fix this.
