Find the actual software download address from the packages file cached by cydia

The software on cydia relies on the cydia source to record the configuration file names of various software on cydia source as packages, which details the name, size, description, and other information of each cydia software. For security, sources with the cydia store in foreign countries such as bigboss and modmyi have passed strict measures (such as verifying the User-Agent and changing the release file in multiple layers ), prevent your de software from being downloaded through abnormal channels. In the past, in order to obtain these information, we always had to set up an HTTP proxy to obtain the real website address. We switched the user proxy using Firefox, but a few days ago, we had a whim, find another method to get the packages file.

Find packages in the cydia cache file

Yes, cydia is working on opening it at the beginning. cydia will download those working files, cache them, create a database, and then index them so that you can use the cydia search function to search for them, although this efficiency is very low. What we are looking for is to find the address of the packages file cached by cydia by default, instead of looking for the address from the Internet, in disguise to get the real Deb.

The packages address cached by cydia is/var/lib/APT/lists/

Use tools like itools to open the above address

Find the file whose source ends with packages, export it to your computer, and open it in a text editor.

The column of filename is a real file.

The actual download address is: Source Address + filename

In this way, we have achieved the truth. The following copy directly to the browser will download to the Deb package. Is this a wonderful move?
