Hi TheGabester,

I haven't noticed any recent change regarding links. You first screenshot shows shared link pointing to a file, but the second one is NOT a shared link; it's preview link (or looks like so, at least) and, of course, you cannot use this link as a shared link (just it's not, nothing more). Where you got this link from? 🧐 Did you change the way you used to receive shared link recently somehow? 🤔

Nope. It just randomly changed to look like that. I have no idea what happened. I just took a look at my setting and I don't see anything wrong? I'm not sure what's up with the link. I can't download it to my server though. It's a zip file with mods I uploaded and it keeps breaking every time I use wget to grab it to download it errors. So, I'm not sure. I'm not able to unzip it cause it like either is corrupted or unfinished?
