Baconreader is downloading the thumbnail gif from gfycat and not the larger versions.
Post Body

It been another month so i'm posting about this again.

A high quality Webm courtesy of /r/HighQualityGifs https://gfycat.com/IdealYoungAngelfish

The much lower quality but still technically watchable gif https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IdealYoungAngelfish-size_restricted.gif

and WTF IS THIS SHIT BR? http://imgur.com/dS7vtrR

(If you have RES, i think it res anyways, it might be auto converting the gyfcat links to the webm version. You might have to actually open the links to see the difference for the gyfcat links.)

So whats going on? The last time i posted about this i think i actually discover the issue. BR seems to be downloading thumbnail gifs that gyfcat uses for small previews and not the larger versions.

So this is the large gif size https://giant.gfycat.com/IdealYoungAngelfish.gif

Notice the gaint prefix and no trailing suffix.

This next one they consider the small gif size. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IdealYoungAngelfish-size_restricted.gif

Notice the the -size_restricted suffix.

And here is what BR seems to be downloading. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IdealYoungAngelfish-small.gif

Notice the -small suffix.

I don't know why BR is downloading what is basically a thumbnail but it makes downloading from gyfcat useless. I would personally perfer BR to download the large size gif.

( once again If you have RES, i think it is res anyways, it might be auto converting links to the webm version. You might have to actually open the links to see the difference.)
