SITE NOTICE: DH Downloads Server
Ive been getting quite a few emails from people having problems downloading drivers from the DH download server - We have put in place an anti leeching script due to the amount of unsavoury websites and webmasters who continue to hardlink to our files totally ignoring our warnings on the download pages.
When you are downloading from our download server, please TURN off ALL download accelerators, if you are still having problems please check your firewall is allowing the referrer access. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this, but you can blame it on people who refuse to play fair and abide by our site rules. |

hardlinking from other sites, for example they post in a news post a direct link to the d/l's instead of to the driverheaven page

Alot of sites have been hardlinking to our driver files not to the download pages. Not only does this mean the people downloading dont even know the site they are downloading from but it also means the members here who maybe want to download drivers might suffer download problems or slowdowns. |
