I agree with you dark.
The issue with dropbox is its designed for sharing of folders and shared links, thats fine they never expire. However any public link is likely to get over used, and your bandwidth cap expires.
When that happens all links are stopped for a little while.
If it happens to much your account is deleted and you are banned from using or even visiting dropbox.
Dropbox is good for projects but not really good for file links.

Hi John.

I'd rather you didn't use dropbox sinse the problem is dropbox links are very temporary and I don't want people coming back in a couple of weeks because the thing has expired.

That file was a pro download so will download at normal speed, so there should be no problems with that.

As to confusing, well I don't see what is so confusing about "click here to start download" or hitting the submit button.

i've seen some dam confusing file sharing services in my time but Sendspace I've always found one of the bes tprecisely because! it is easy to use.

Beware the grue!

I haven't downloaded this particular file yet, but I will say that I've had the same issue before; sendspace can be confusing, and the fact that they limit download speed is far more than simply annoying. If you'd like, I can put the file up on dropbox for a bit and post a link. That should give people the option of which service to use if they so desire.

try the submit button. Really Leo I'm slightly confused why your making such
heavy weather over sendspace, I've used it for literally about 5 years now
and never had trouble, and looking at the download counter the file has
already been downloaded about 10 times by people so it doesn't seem that
others have the same problem you do.

Beware the grue!
