daddydave Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) I have searched but have not found.I can't figure out why the Download link in my signature (or in my post) doesn't work. In fact I see the link appear in the address bar, then it quickly redirects back to www.msfn.org. Is it because the zip file has an .exe in it?EDIT: I'm thinking it must be happening on the freewebs side. Is that what it looks like? Edited December 27, 2006 by daddydave
N1K Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I'm almost sure it's because of the freewebs site. It doesn't support direct linking IMO. Try to upload it somewhere else and try then..
prx984 Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I have the same problem on Tripod. Try making a redirect HTML file, like this:<html><head><title>YOUR OWN TITLE</title><meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="5; URL=YOUR OWN LINK HERE"></head></html><p>Downloading the file "YOUR OWN FILE NAME, YOU CAN REMOVE QUOTES HERE", please wait...<br><br>if download does not begin within 5 seconds or you are using Windows XP SP2, click <a href="PUT YOUR OWN LINK HERE, LEAVE QUOTES">here</a>When you have put in the neccessary links and info in the above HTML file, just link to that, and it will automatically redirect the client to the file. That should be all it was. They don't like direct linking, so you link to your own page and then they download from there.Hope this helps.
daddydave Posted December 28, 2006 Author Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the help, I have a new link which is just to a download page. Edited December 28, 2006 by daddydave
