plzz mirror the file sir too much traffic disable link in dropbox i cant download thanks in advance
Yeah, still can’t download :/
Thanks for the page; My imported phone runs partly in Chinese, so I though I’d have a go. But failed at the 1st hurdle The link in ‘Part 1’ comes back
“Dropbox; This account’s public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled”
It simply means those links are disable for a specific time only and will be back after some time.
So you’ll have to wait until the links get enabled again for users to download.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Mahesh, I’ll try again
Yep, keep checking the links as they may come online at any time.
Thought I’d try again Mahesh, but Dropbox now says that file in ‘part 1’ has now been deleted.
