I suspect Dropbox is blocking download helpers/tools if I'm honest (especially if the URL has been edited to force a download etc). This is something they have done before to deter abuse on it.
You may want to log a ticket at http://www.dropbox.com/support and ask.
I seriously doubt its an an account issue as if it was the links just would fail.
TBH, I can't say anything has changed in the past 12 hours or so, and I doubt it on a Sunday. Furthermore, with a free account, a ticket won't get me any help. Many thanks.
