Alls you can do is sign up, exploite its holes and hope for the best. Its a gamble how long it will last if you have a tight budget.
I'm guilty of not reading every ToS in its entirety myself, but when it comes to hosting, I do look for the AUP section and a few other parts. If what I want is against any of the parts I have read, I simply move on to a different host. I have passed up many hosts because of certain things they had listed in their AUP alone. Myself, I am much more willing to pay for a service than get it for free as there is less of a chance I will be getting "short changed"

There used to be only 1 string of random characters serving as a unique account id. But after clicking that get link button it regenerated a replacement url adding an extra set of random characters that varies from file to file.
The new public Share URLs are not the same as the old Public Folder URLs, you can enable the latter with that link and it'll work fine with FastDL.

Thanks man. Great help. FastDL through dropbox is working again. Where did you find that link anyway?

I'm stilling going to be using the new host for now and see how it goes as its faster than dropbox. No interval between files.

Oh. Some morals. I got some morals. Just not those ones.

I want to pay for a service so I don't have the hassle of just making due. I just don't have the proper cash flow to make monthly payments. What money I do get has to go towards other stuff and theres hardly anything left for more monthly payments. Im not going to settle for no FastDL if I don't have the extra cash for it. If I had the money throw at more paid hosting I wouldn't be stuck with a puny 10 players slot game server like I have for the past 4 years. You actually think I want this?

Tip: Try find some cheap vps from ur country. I'm paying 50e/3 month for my vps and I can run easily 3-4 hlds server, ts3 server, apache etc If you move ur hlds servers to vps you can also set "automatic" fastdl with apache

inb4 this costs too much money, don't bother.

NFO servers come with free FastDL servers if you pay for a server manually and if you purchase a VPS or a box, you can pick up a web-server cheap as well.

...again inb4 TOO MUCH MONEY!
