Broken links, also known as “dead” links are and usually are when the server hosting the file has deleted it. Error 404 is the way your browser says “Hey, this link is trying to take us somewhere… But there’s nothing here.”
We take into account that your need to download the software you have been redirected to is importatne. That’s why we recommend you to leave a comment at the end of the download, in the same day the download is usually resumed.
You will also be happy to know that broken links are incredibly easy to fix.
What are broken links?
Unlike working links, broken links cause a 404 error when clicked. This is usually because they are trying to redirect visitors to a missing page or a non-existent resource.
They occur for several reasons, but mainly when the link URL points to a domain that no longer exists, has unusual firewall settings, has been hacked, or has been unable to maintain adequate hosting.
