Adfoc.us problem

[DrakEmono]

Hello, I would like to know if any of you is able to download forge...

I try to download some new versions, but it seems that adfocus has some problems, totally blocking the access to the download.

 

Everything I try to download something from them, I get to this page: http://adfoc.us/502.html

And absolutely no way to access the download.

 

And it's been a while it didn't change. Am I the only one, or adfocus shouldn't be used anymore?

Thank you.

Hi,

Adfoc.us work like expected for me.

 

You can use direct link when adfoc.us doesn't work (click on "Show all downloads", chose a version of forge and then, instead of clicking "Installer" you should click on the (i) ).

[DrakEmono]

The installer also leads to an adfoc.us page. I don't see any direct links there.

 

Well, today, it seems there is no problem anymore... But really, just blocking all downloads if there is any problem while generating ads...?

[DrakEmono]

Ooooh I'm sorry, I didn't see it. Thank you, i will know for next time!

There are direct links for every download:

 

 

I didn't notice it until 6 months ago while poking through the source code.

Cleverly hidden in the info where hardly anyone looks.

[Kzitold]

Yes, because guess what, Forge is paid for by those ads.

 

Not hating. Just saying it was clever.

 

I really don't mind the ads since they only take like 5 seconds.

they are not making any money off of me with those stupid ads.

We don't need to, Thats why we have the direct links available for those who either can't or simply don't want to support us.

We still love you <3

Also to note, the actual info circle icon is a direct link as well. 

So yes you could say it's 'hidden' but its also there, it's a balance of user information, page layout, and yes wanting you to click the ads over the direct. 

We also use the generic adfocus re-directs so that if you care enough you could easily install one of the hundreds of anti-ad scripts on your favorite browser and it'd just directly remove the URL prefix. 

 

Sadly, I have server costs, rent, and need to eat. Donations amount to about $20/yr. We have tried to make things as easy and convenient for you guys as possible in this regard. So sorry, but it's a necessary evil.
