Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I couldn't decide where to put it in the support section. Besides, it's very related to mod downloads.
Like the topic says: I can't download anything from Adfly links. I've seen people say that you just have to wait 5 seconds for a 'skip ad' button to appear. I don't get that at all. My only two options are the following:
1: Click on a big download button that starts to download a program called 'ilivid'
2: Wait for a 15 seconds long count down which starts to download ilivid on completion.
Neither during, nor after this countdown do I get the option to skip to the actual mod download.
I've also read that Adblock Plus is supposed to work, and skip the whole Adfly thing altogether. So I downloaded it, and, surprise, I'm still sent to the Adfly page, but this time it's white and empty, and doesn't do anything at all. Ever.
An improvement I have to admit, but still doesn't change that I'm unable to do what I'm trying to do.
If anyone knows what I need to do in order to download mods again, and is willing to take their time to respond to this, I'd be extremely grateful!

Well, I suggest NEVER to press the ads, and if the button doesnt show up, restart the page like 5 times, if it doesnt show up anymore, go back to the mod page, and try to download it again, if it still doesnt work, then it might be a problem with the download or the modder has done a mistake.
Glad to help
EDIT: Also you dont need Adblock Plus, I never downloaded that and I still get the download.
I disabled Adblock Plus. Tried refreshing quite a few times. Occasionally I get a blue screen with the Adfly logo on it, and a countdown between 4 and 6 seconds that says 'Click here to continue' upon completion, but it either takes me to the ilivid download or a download page for something called 'FLV player' or to an ad for a game about vikings or something, in which, also, nothing ever happens.
And I have set my default language to English because I prefer it over Norwegian.

I managed to download the mods on my parents' computer. On the spot the 'skip to download' button appears, there is a hidden white text (visible when I mark it) on my computer, but without the countdown. I don't know what's causing that, but it's good to know I have alternatives to not being able to download mods.
Still, would be nice to know how to solve this problem instead of having to work around it every time.

Ya I am running into this same issue. I have tried the refresh thing about 10 times and all that does is give me a unable to load page, various ads, or the can't find link page. I never once get any count down timer in the top right corner of the screen like I used to get. Does anyone know of a way to fix this or what the deal is as I can't down load any of the mods I would like to use/update with adfly acting like this.
I need HELP!!! Every time i try to download a mod it does the normal it take me to adlfy. i wait 5 seconds and then IT TAKES BACK TO ADLFY over and over. WHY does it do this
Same problem, I go on adfly and when I try to download mods or forge or anything that downloads by adfly it says "Please Wait..." and no count down then I start to rage hardcore then I restart it alot and nothing really changes so whats the problem here someone help PLOX (plox means please) IT WILL BE AND I WILL SUB TO YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WATCH EVERY VIDEO OF YOURS AND LIKE EACH ONE #SUBSTOAPERSONANDWATCHSANDLIKESEBERYVIDEO#
I can't download anything from adfly either but my problem for it is that when I press the 'Skip Ad' button, the page kinda like "reloads" by its self and then the 'Skip Ad' button stays at 'Please Wait...' and never does the 5 second count down. Could anyone help with that?

Same thing wrong with mine! i'm going to MURDER someone if it doesn't get fixed!
Well, if you didn't try Internet Explorer (always sems to work on Adf.ly) then I guess you should try downloading from a different computer. If that doesn't work then I don't know.

My problems a little different, I hit the skip ad button and the download banner appears, I click to download and it starts but then says the jar file could not be downloaded. No amout of refreshing change's this and its all files from adfly.
Isn't Adfly a virus website? Or is the variant that's a virus Adf.ly?
AdFly is a legitimate website that can be used to shorten links. It also allows people to passively gain money by just having people click the link, it does this by hosting advertisements for other websites / businesses / products that the user sees.
It's the ads that are the problem in most cases, an ad has a big Download button which people think is the actual download button, then the ad's download button downloads a suspicious file which installs some unneeded program. Most of the time these programs are harmless, but tend to ask for donations and won't do anything until you pay the developers. But, these programs are easily uninstalled.
The problem arises when a program is infected and the user downloads and runs the file, then their computer becomes infected yadda yadda yadda you know the rest.
AdFly is a legit service, it's the ads that cause problems for users.
