RedGifs downloader is broken again & fails to download anything because it generates links that don't exist

[KylarZeppeli]

The RedGifs downloader as of the latest commit fails to download anything because its trying to download links that don't exist

Replacing the site_downloaders/redgifs.py file with the one that can be downloaded from this pull request appears to fix the problem completely

Even after #659 I am also still unable to download from redgifs. The downloader grabs the link it looks like and when it gets turned into the "thumbs5" it brings me to a link that is blank with only " Bad request signature"

This is the result from the log_output.txt. I think I have tried all I could at this point. Reinstalled all the requirments from the txt file. Reinstalled pythong, reinstalled bdfr and delete the config files. Even made a virtual machine for the first time to try and see if that would work, but still the same results I got. If there is anything else I should try please let me know!

I think you haven't installed the development version of the BDFR; the latest release on PyPi is still out of date. All of my tests are passing so wait for the release, it should be very soon.
