Toolkit GUI Download Links

Recommended Posts

Every time I click on a button on the Downloads tab of the Toolkit GUI I get a adf.ly page with the message “Sorry, but the requested page was not found!”. In the URL in the address bar following adf.ly's address it seems that I can find a link to either the site I'm supposed to go to or a referrer link back to the forum topic where I can find another link to to find what I think the GUI button was supposed to link to in the first place. This happens to me on every version of the Toolkit I have tried. Anyone no whats up with it? Is there some setting I need on IE for this to work? Is this by design?

Ex. Slim .Net4.5 Installer Button ==> adf.ly page that displays: Sorry, but the requested page was not found!, URL in address bar: http://adf.ly/1964538/http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/10480-slim-net-framework-45-full-x86x64-10-13-2012/http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/10480-slim-net-framework-45-full-x86x64-10-13-2012/ ==>
Cut & Paste /http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/10480-slim-net-framework-45-full-x86x64-10-13-2012/ into new tab ==>
Wincert forum page where I find the link: http://adf.ly/1713566/dotnet45slim ==>
Cut & Paste into new tab ==>
adf.ly page that starts download.

Ignore what's on that pages. Just wait a few seconds whats counted on top right corner on the blue bar and click the yellow button with SKIP...

There is no count down on the page that says, “Sorry, but the requested page was not found!" and there is no yellow button that says SKIP. The page is dead. If I hadn't noticed the additional URL's in the address bar (following the adf.ly URL) and copied/used those addresses and play follow the link I would of never of found the sites. In the case of ".Net 4.5 Slim" I used the link to end up back on a Wincert forum page where I then found the "http://adf.ly/1713566/dotnet45slim"  link, now using that link I did get the countdown and the yellow SKIP. The problem is if I never noticed the superfluous URL and copied the portion of the link I thought was relevant and used that I would of never of found what the Button on the GUI was trying to link to. Now I know what to do and look for, but I can't be the only one this is happening to, I actually have been trying the buttons for weeks with the same problem and pretty much gave up thinking they must be old and dead links and had never been updated. I thought it was just a dead function in the application that was left in and overlooked.

No, the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is not checked. No I do not get that page. I would upload screen shots but can not figure out how to attach a pic or upload to "My Media". I have tried both IE and a fresh copy of Fire Fox. I also tried it on a fresh install on VMPlayer with no anti-virus and a fresh copy of IE9.


BUT.........  Playing around, I decided to put an "s" after the http in the URL....


And that worked!!!!! Both IE9 and Firefox are at out of the box default settings, not sure why the page has to be secure, or if that is how it is supposed to be why the "s" is being stripped from http in the URL when I press the button on the GUI.


Oh well.
