I am using XDM (Xtreme Download Manager) as Download manager in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It works well but sometimes it shows pop-ups to download some mp3 or wav files from different sites, sometimes even when I open Google.
Today while using WebHTTrack, it opened such pop-ups for like 1000+ times and my laptops went to halt. Here's a snapshot of what it looks like.
I need some idea to stop such automatic downloads. I went through its settings, but could not find any settings to change or work with.

Try the latest version. This problem is fixed in version 4.7 for Linux There is a checkbox added in the new download dialog, which can add the unwanted link to download ignore list.
I tried to do it by going through settings. In Exceptions I added Soundcloud but it still opened 100% of downloaded pop ups.
What worked was to disable it while using Soundcloud.
