New download system
There has been a HUGE amount of traffic on the website and my server/connection is a bit too stressed under all that load.
So, I decided to do something about that. Direct linking to the files itself is now forbidden, but there's always a "Link to file" link on the files that you can use to link to the file.
Also, I recommend not using download accelerators etc. because only one download at a time is allowed.
I'll have a closer looks on the logs if there's still ridiculous download attempts (all of them have been blocked with a 403 message, what kind of software is this which tries to download over and over again despite that server tells that it's forbidden???)
Next step will be IP banning, if you try to download for example 5 times the file and you get the 403 message then your IP will be banned for one hour. This means that you can't download anything in that time.
