i am tired of having my "downloaders" go through a big process to download my pack, especially now that i am going to have multiple files to be downloaded ( not just the terrain anymore ) i need a way to get my people a pack in one click. from my understanding, i send this 2 ways, a direct download to mediafire, and another link that goes through adfly before going to mediafire, is this correct?

mediafire it's all to good.
and adfly is good for giving ppl spyware. :-P
at least from what I heard,
"I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly.
It’s the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out.
I’d rather be in, in a good system. That’s where my discontent comes from:
being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin’ straight ahead.
Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

You first need to upload your zip file to mediafire. It helps if you sign up, but I don't think you have to. It's free either way.
Next, you need to sign up for adfly and link it to your paypal account. Then just take the link that mediafire gives you and use adfly to shrink it. And voila! Adfly link.
well thats why when i post a download link, theres gunna be 2, one to adfly, and one to<direct download site of choice> thank you, i believe this makes a big difference.
Unhelpful post is unhelpful. (It's not like YOU are actually paying anything by clicking on an adfly link.)
Actually, yes I am paying something. My time. Those extra few seconds of waiting are quantifiable and can be calculated into an effective cost.
People are so quick to write off their own time as having no value.
And my post is far from unhelpful. The OP is looking for different forms of download links, and tacking an adfly link to a mediafire link is increasing the wait time to the end product. By posting just the mediafire link, it bypasses that extra (and pointless) wait time.
Just because I didn't coat my post in sugar doesn't make its message any less invalid. Was it a bit harsh? Sure. Did it get my point across, yes.

Here, let me play the world's smallest violin for you while you painfully wait 5 seconds to download a work of art that might have taken weeks or months to make, and is provided to you entirely for free.
And the poster asked how to set up an adfly link, which you did not tell him. Hence why your post was unhelpful.
Just something to note, Adf.ly doesn't pay you until you reach $5.00 worth of clicks, and 1000 clicks is $4.00....
While it isn't a problem for Steel as she has quite a few packs and people actually use them, I for one have had my pack up on the forums and been working on it for over a year and only recently passed 500 downloads.
If you don't have a fan base already, you'll probably never make any money using adf.ly (and probably most people who use it don't).
(although ironically someone DID donate $5 to me using paypal so I've already made more than if I had used adf.ly and had double the amount of downloads)
