jules Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 whether i use safari, firefox or chrome, i cant download any links from mediafire, megaupload, etc. it just downloads a 3 k file and that is it. anyone know what the deal is?

mcbpete Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 You can't directly download from links given to those sites, you have to go on the page and then go through all that Enter Captcha Code / Free Account / Wait for 60 seconds gubbins. That 3k file is probably just the html to the page telling you to choose your account type etc....

BCM Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 yeah, what pete said. you have to go through the rigmarole of waiting X amount of seconds to download the files, then enter a captcha etc etc. no easy downloads from any of those sites really....rapidshare is probably the least hassle though.

Silent Member Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 there's no waiting, captcha or other annoying shit on mediafire. I have no idea what the problem could be.

I have no idea what the problem could be. IIRC (I can't check due to the company firewall blocking such sites) you still have to visit the site though, you can't just 'right click-download' a Mediafire link to download something. Have you tried renaming the downloaded 3k file to an .html file extension yet ? My guess is that it'll guide you towards a solution ....

It's the RIAA - they know you're downloading pirated music, so they're hijacking your downloads.
