The FTP protocol is finally deprecated in Firefox and Chrome...
...so the FTP download links don't work any more (at least in these browsers).
Furthermore, if a download link points to a http:// page, it also fails (at least in my Chrome).
Just so you know.
I don't have high hopes, but it would be cool if this would be fixed. |

Yeah got it, but can't this be fixed on the site so the people don't have to mess with browser flags or whatever to download a file? |

Quoting jailbirdYeah got it, but can't this be fixed on the site so the people don't have to mess with browser flags or whatever to download a file? That fix would be to serve some other protocol than FTP instead. Something that is deemed secure enough by current standards. |

That would be the best, indeed. |

What's with that anyway, is 100GB storage so expensive? |

I think commenting out the code to create external links is too tricky :) |

No.
If people chose to host their files somewhere that's only accessible by a now deprecated protocol the only way that can be "fixed" now is to copy the file to somewhere else.
Feel like uploading some files for a bunch of unlocked entries? :D |

I'd say disabling the external linking is step one. Before that happens... futile exercise |

That could be very easily automated. Isn't CSDb already hosting a huge amount of downloadable files on its server?
But forget it, I'll just change my flags in the browser or use a download manager to download products which only have an ftp link... *sigh* |
