    It doesn't matter. The link no longer works, either because the link to the file was removed or the file was deleted. In all cases, the only way to get access to the file is to contact the original owner and ask them to create a new link, or to find the file posted somewhere else online.

Unfortunately unless somebody has access to the file locally it isnt possible to get access to a file on a link which is now not working.
