I know you mean well, but there are SERIOUS security flaws associated with these websites:
These links send me (indirectly) to a third-party website called "applicationgrabb.com" - dubious just by its name - where i am REQUIRED to download some executable file and open that in order to actually download the movies.
Let's see:
1. Unidentified redirection
2. FORCED download of an unidentified executable file
3. FORCED opening of the same.
4. Third-party remote JavaScript calls.
Ain't gonna happen. :>(

Hi Bob. Well apologies for all. See my reply to sapphire and steel for me. Once again, if there is anything you want I will upload to mediafire. Although I might upload to here. If mediafire can grab them from the shared.url, i will probably put them on mediafire. But if it's a case of having to download from shared, i will probably post to here.
I must say, that I am surprised, because I've never had any problems. Do you have an adblocker?
Well after all that, I decided to try downloading something I uploaded and I get that application grab thing too. But I think you are clicking the wrong thing. You don't click where it says "download"
click where it says the title of the item. I'm gonna try copying something over.
Note that this is NOT the AVI file but a small executable file from a wholly unknown source (something called "toolkitfreefast.com") which is NOT Shared nor even its "applicationgarbber" cross-link, but yet a third unknown source.
BTW, I tried this with Firefox, Chrome and IE and then tried it on my Android cell phone. Same result every time.
The bizarre thing is that, if I click your link from here, I get the file. If I go to Shared and follow your instructions, I get the suspicious file. I suspect that there's some hidden JS at work here. Modern browsers do not like cross-site scripting. :>)

you can click the "download" i indicated, or the big square. Although clicking the square from times past won't work
Sorry, Martin, but I still get this:
