Can you download "Openload" links?

Yeah, I've had the same thing - popups, scary noise, and a spoken automated voice - "a virus has been detected" or something similar. And it's impossible to close the popup - I had to shut down the entire browser (Firefox) because of that.

I loaded this Babestation24 page just now, and it left the Babeshows page immediately to go to a casino site - not a popup window, but taking me to an unrequested site in the same tab. Luckily I only had to click "back" to get out of it. The content on that page is an Openload vid (deleted), Lic.me caps, and Pixxxels.cc caps.

I'm boycotting anything uploaded by any member to openload because as you say it provides nearly three pop-ups, one of which does the virus thing-luckily my Norton 360 Premier software picks it up and warns me. Say NO to openload.

"Ive posted this before" Openload completely locked me out of my pc and was asking for email address and bank details had to unplug my pc to get it off
Openload should be banned from this forum its dodgy af

Openload inserted nasties onto my Mac via Chrome twice.

Never again. Avoid.

Seriously dodgy scumbags.

The state of this thread LOL.

There is absolutely nothing dodgy about Openload.

The ads and popups are most likely the same stuff that's been displayed on these not-so-legal sites for years, i.e. 'You're our millionth visitor', or 'Your computer is locked, pay 500 to unlock', and so on. And it has nothing to do with Openload per se.

Jesus, I bet some of you actually respond to Nigerian letters.

You need 3 things to solve all your problems:

1. Firefox browser
2. uBlock Origion extension
3. Video Download Helper extension

That's as elemantary as it gets.

Openload is definately the worst for popups out of all these sites. You do only need the 3 things above to stop them though. I include all download sites that I have used since the year 2000.

I get what you're saying, and appreciate the info, but they're not a "not-so-legal site".
They're supposed to be a legit file hosting service, yet their quantity and quality of scum-ware far exceeds that of their contemporaries.
That's what's pissing people off.

Plus, I don't need to use extensions with the likes of Depositfiles or Mega ...never had any problems with them.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've an urgent email from the King of Nigeria to reply to.
