Yo

Been trying to download the 64x64 v1.10 graphics package

however, the adfly page keeps refering me to really shady pages that really want me to download all of their viruses.

I get no zip file with minecraft graphics.

Not sure how you can fix this - perhaps 'refresh' the adfly links? I dunno.

but I needs me some sphax graphics!


EDIT: I did check the "if you're having trouble downloading" topic - this specific issue does not seem to be covered in that.

What actually happens? Do you open the adf.ly page wait 5 seconds then click Skip Ad in the top right? If the ads are navigating you away before you can click you'll need to report it to adf.ly: https://adf.ly/abuse

If you're having issues with the adfly links try the adfoc mirror links instead.

We're aware adfly/adfoc are a bit dodgy, but there are no alternatives that are any better and the website needs the income to stay online. Most people manage to navigate them without issue.

no its when I click the top-right skip-ad button that it sends me to virus-town

...I tested it with some of the other download links, and they ALL DID IT.

Hell, one of those pages even tried to hijack my browser with endless pop-ups. Felt like I was back in the 90s. Another was quite insistant that my windows licence was about to run out, and that all my files would be deleted in about 5 minutes, unless I paid them to renew my licence.

You know, the usually ****-tier spam virus scam ****.

I tested the links to all version 1.10 packages. None of them worked.

maybe its adfly's way of punishing people who use adblocker?

thank you - that worked

...though for some strange reason, then I had to copy the link and then paste it up in the URL bar - I couldn't just click it to open it: that would instantly close it (I think that's my adblocker doing it)
