Could you tell more details? The only thing I see is that it tries to run scripts from adcash.com and adshot.de - oh. Adcash.com seems to be the villain. Didn't see the problem, 'cause I've installed the addon "NoScript" in firefox on my PC. Sorry for that. I'll search for another filehoster and send a new link. May take a while. Thank you very much for the hint / warning! Regards Werner |

Hi Werner. Dropbox works well as does google drive. I don't know if
they're US only or international. Youtube is also easy.

I run Adblock Edge and Ghostery, primarily because I HATE ads that jiggle and flash. Didn't see anything amiss (or any ads) on that site. Flub might want to revisit his no ad-blocker policy because crims are now using advertising sites as their malware delivery service. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |

"Winch launch will never drop the rope anywhere except right in front of the winch unless the rope breaks"
Really? Well I guess I had better get cracking on getting restitution from BC Hydro about those three times a winch cable allegedly dropped across the HV power lines since I now have it on good authority that those incidents never happened. |

Well I guess I had better get cracking on getting restitution from BC Hydro about those three times a winch cable allegedly dropped across the HV power lines since I now have it on good authority that those incidents never happened. I guess it depends on a certain level of skill from the operator :-) At my local winch site, it's not uncommon in a crosswind with a student pilot to see the glider and cable crossing above a row of trees and even the adjacent river. But the parachute still ends up hitting the ground on the field and 50 meters from the winch. Unless the rope breaks. Then you can have fun. |

However, not a fun. No filehoster should give such an adhoster room for his bloody work. I'll change my filehoster and send a new link. Regards Werner |
