Same problem as your other offerings posted at "share.com" - this site sends you unnannouced) toa third-party site called "applicationgrabb.net" which required download and opening of an executable file in order to download the files.
This is a serious secuirty issue.

Oh! do i have an account at share.com as well as shared.com?
Really! I don't get that when testing downloadsd. Maybe it's because I use firefox addon "no script," and a"adblock plus."
Although I have no script turned off for shared.So it must be my use of Adblock.
If you are interested in these. I can probably put them on mediafire, if you are interested.
Thanks anyway. I just wanted to caution anyone downloading this material of the possible issue.
Actually, i tested this with Firefox, IE and Chrome on both my desktop and mobile phone (Android-based0. I also tested with and without the two add-ons you mentioned (both are excellent, btw) Same small executable file was presented every time, whether i used the large "download' button or the more hiddn one that you describe.
The little executable is _probably_ harmless but no file is worth the chance.

I didn't download anything from his links even though I wanted a couple because of that issue. To my way of thinking there is no reason to have a proprietary exe downloader on a site except for nefarious reasons so I too declined. ---------------------------------- R
I had a longer reply here. but for some reason it was taking a long time to save it. Here is the short version. Try right clicking and "save link as"

I was able to download the cbr files without going through an exe etc. I think it depends upon what you click. My antivirus software did warn it had blocked access to something but the files all scanned clean. So cheers!
