Please allow me to post an updated tutorial for downloading of Navitotal material via LinkSafe and a download hosting site like FileFactory.

It's not difficult but you gotta learn not to be trigger happy and point at the easiest targets.
Also refrain from using those 'handy' download managers!

This tut is tailored to downloading of a TomTom map but the principles will be approximately the same for other downloadable content.
Oh yeah, I'm using Chrome and 'better pop up blocker'. IE might present problems.

---

1. Choose your poison but selecting the map you want and by pressing the link.

---

---

2. You will be redirected. In the next LinkSave.in screen enter the indicated password.

---

---

3. Now's the time to be choosy. You will want to download all separate parts one by one. Start with part one and continue if applicable. Do notclick 'All Parts'

---

---

4. Okay, move down, all the way down and see the two options. Free, right? Press the "Slow download" button and gather all the patience you can find!

---

---

5. As a free loader you will need some patience and endure countdowns.
That's the price you pay, paying nothing. Count to zero...
But you are getting close and you can feel the temperature rising.

---

---

6. Remove the checkmark because you do not want the aid of the download manager.
Plain as vanilla. Go ahead doing whatever you want to do to the button "Click here to begin your download".

---

---

Make sure you save all the parts to a place where you can find them and it may be wise to change the titles to a meaningful name.
But be advised to keep the numbered parts of the files intact. Map_xxx_p1.rar, Map_xxx_p2.rar etc.

---

You managed all that ?



Congrats and after one or two more tries you will be an expert.

That's all folks ! Safe driving !

My trick is to use "Tor", then when downloading one file, select "New Identity" in Tor which gives me another IP address so I can download another file, repeat and you can download all the files at once.

How to get rid of the annoying Usernet screen.
Click SchlieBen on the upper-right corner. It means close in German. Usernet pop-up screen will go away.
This screen must have driven a lot people away. It slides in blocking everything. I even tried to register thinking it will go away. It turned out to be charging site.
Hope every body who benefited from this site will share a little downloading secret you uncovered digging through to get to the files.

Something else to watch out for the new comers is that after you click on the Click here to download, the screen will not change while download begins, in the background for Firefox. Close this screen before downloading another file so you won't be confused with two of the same screens.

1. How to close a pop-up, window, screen or whatever you want to call it, is BASIC computer knowledge, regardless of what language it is in.
2. I doubt it. Usenet only covers half of the screen & the vast majority of our members have BASIC computer knowledge.

According to a report, which is not publicly available, the vast majority of downloadsites link to malicious websites full of malware and fraudulent activities. Especially in the many "download" and "play" buttons that appear on the sites. Or in "ads" which mainly do nothing else but linking to adware.

Very few download sites (the slow ones?) do not link to malware. For how long? The ads are usually a source of income for the sites and they are not keen to control the one who pays them. You get the message.

Incidentally, malware is not on the sites themselves, but is linked to. Users of an adblocker have no problems. That is why you often get a pop up telling you not to use an adblocker. And if you get a pop up with an ad, just close it.

Also incidentally, like Tendriver says, most users know the meaning of the white 'X' in a red box, which still is 98 % of the closing ritual. Just in a few cases the closing is done by clicking on a word (like "schliessen" or in Russian, which I can't pronounce/spell correctly).

hi every one, does someone could explain me why when i try to download some files from this site, it automaticaly start a movie..... ?? i never receive any files... i just get a video on streaming? (I was trying to get the USA & Canada 2014 (TOM TOM)) But it's almost impossible...

The "USA & Canada 2014 (TOM TOM)" is hosted now on "upl.me".
At first, you need to wait 10 seconds:



After 10 seconds, it becomes download button:



Just click on it and you get the option to save the file to your computer.

On "filedropper.com", scroll down, and click on the "Download This File" button, and enter the captcha characters:

That's a new one.
Can you be more specific what link and if you are using the desktop or mobile site?
And like Filesupload shows you, did you press the correct "buttons", not the ones that only offer "extras", like what this thread is all about?

no... i pressed the wrong one my bad... !!!! I appologize! I use the desktop version but I pressed on the big DOWNLOAD push button... sorry i'm a newbie....

Everybody gets it wrong the first time, that's the hosting sites and advertisers fault for making it overly complicated trying to get you to sign up for a premium account.

Or want you to download "sponsored content" of all kinds.
Dropbox or likewise is no alternative. Privacy issue or not, grey uploads there get deleted quickly and the owner/uploader suspended.

to eliminate the need for seeders users who post torrent downloads (magnet links) can upload the .Torrent file to www.torcache.net

Due to a bad experience with dropbox, suspending my account and thus me deleteing dropbox from my computer, i now offer a great vote of thanks to chas521, via jtrosky,for an introduction to "hochladen.to".

I am now using this hoster, so far trouble free for uploading content. I have signed up to a free account but am still able to upload anonomously.

The advantage of the signed up account is that i am able to view the uploaded content, and its download links, whenever i want.

It is extremely easy to use with no annoying adverts or download manager links.
