Default Why does everybody make it hard to do?

Why do you not just use dropbox?

Absolutely the easiest way to make files public that I have found so far.

For instance, to make this readme file available from my dropbox, I just post a link here and anyone can download it...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54171727/Ho...c%20folder.txt

Just go to dropbox and get you a free account.

If you use that link, I can add more space to mine.

After a second thought, I think I know what is the problem with mediafire; it probably doesn't like .7z files compression:

TDW's mods whose mediafire links stopped working recently have this extensionn.
So far I have always used the rar format for my files uploaded on mediafire (including the previous version of DynEnv, which incidentally had a bigger filesize than the current one), and had no problems with them.

This is the first time I use the .7z format and the download gets broken after few downloads

I don't think so.. almost all files on my mediafire page are in 7z..
Also the TDW's mods were available long time before this happened..
I think there is some other reason.. IMO..

PS: but some 7z files mediafire can't identify, and they are under question mark..

Probably the problem doesn't rely on the format, but on some compression setting wich is not recognized by mediafire.

Bad link to download. Can this file be uploaded somewhere else? uTorrent?

It's been a long haul but we've finally managed to fix the download link in the first page

Thank you guys for you patience, and Trevally for your tireless support!
