Is anyone else having issues with the free hotfile links?

I've noticed over the past few days that whenever you attempt to download a file using the free link, it cycles through a 30 second timer, prompts you to enter some text & click the download button. Normally that will forward you to the actual download link but now it brings you right back to where you started. I thought it was just the file I was trying to download but the same thing happened with multiple hotfile links. Is anyone else having the same issue?

It won't work for me, either. I thought it was a blatant attempt to force/ trick me into paying for the service.

Does anybody who PAYS run into this problem, or only us non-payers?

It was giving me problems when I would use skipscreen with it. I unchecked hotfile in the skipscreen options and it started working again.

I haven't had any problems with it, but Stooorage and Netload are real slow now. Download times are nearly 4-6 hours for one file. I gotta stop fuckin' with those two now, along with DF.

Tried again but no dice.

Are you pasting the link into your browser? I usually use IE 8 with Hotfile but mine works with Opera as well. I used to have a similar problem with that host (forgot the host's name (Upload?)) where you had to click through 10 times before you got the file using Firefox at the time. When I used IE it would work.

I finally got it to work by opening it in Opera. Shit was turning into a royal pain in the balls prior to that.

After you type in the words hit ALT this will let you download it. As a free user you can't use Download accelerators.
