Magnet links not working.

Magnet links for Sims 4 downloads not working from Laundry Day Stuff and above.

Actually, all that magnet links from Laundry Stuff Day and above are useless.

Hello,

Can you be more specific, what exactly is the problem on your end? I tried going through the Linkvertise myself, and no issues for me. If you're talking about that "Linkvertise" site though, see this here:
https://www.games4theworld.club/t33873-the-advertisements-on-the-forum-updated-on-22-10-20

The interface looks slightly different than in the tutorial, but it still works. We will update the tutorial with new screenshots, shortly.



P.S. we have been using Linkvertise for about 1^1/2 years now, but maybe you did not notice the policy yet? Because most download links on our Forum run through that advertising service. Yes, we need to generate a bit of revenue for hosting, domains, etc.

No, not a problem at all! I support you in using Linkvertise. The problem is - nothing happens when I click on the download link after all that.

Uh oh, not good. I wonder if they started blocking that site, in some countries? 

Have you tried using a different browser? Or if you have some kind of VPN, try connecting to a VPN server outside of your home country and try again. ProtonVPN and Windscribe have decent free plans, so for testing things it could be useful.

Have you also tried clearing caches/cookies in your main browser too?

Also try the little trick here. Look at this thread and under #4; so try changing your default DNS servers, if you haven't done that yet:

If the issue still persists we'll look into that, though I'm not sure what we could try on that end.

Interesting. Several days ago, all these download links were usable, believe me. I will try your suggestions. Thank you for your time!

Yes, they (I mean, copyright holders and the organizations helping them) are cracking down harder. I would not be surprised if someone by now "took notice" of that Linkvertise platform, and maybe they now start blocking it in some places.

And no need to thank; feel free to keep us posted!

Update: I can download it on my laptop pc (windows 8.1 and I have done something with my IP adress earlier, don't know exactly what). On my desktop pc is windows 10 and absolutely straight and clean.

^the moment when you thought you saw everything, but realize "no, not 100%". Thanks for sharing, and I'm still not sure what's up with that issue. Have you also tried looking at certain browser settings?

A lot of these browsers these days have innocent-sounding options like "enable tracking protection" or "protect from malicious websites", so there is some more potential for you to play around with.

I've noticed next thing, on my laptop (OS w8.1) I just nedd to click on the link to start download. On my deskop (OSw10), I need to copy/paste the link. I apologize for my incompetence.  :$

I really don't know why's that happening.
