well, yeah. those were uploaded from TRS's Dropbox for the most part, and they went dead a while after TRS left. it's possible that TRS either deleted the account or just wiped it, either way those files are lost.
it's not the first time we lose a lot of files to Dropbox. at some point the dropbox management reset all the shared links to start from a blank slate, and that meant a great many links across the web went dead. nowadays when you see a Dropbox or Mega link, you generally expect it to be dead. if you can't reach the original uploader through other means and, you won't get your hands on the file. and that's assuming they still even have it. ed: @older dropbox users, could you tell me if Dropbox actually ever wiped files on its own? if it's just the links that are gone, you could simply ask for a new link. not that it'd be useful for this very instance though, as it's more likely that TRS wiped the files manually. |

I have used Dropbox for a long time, the files are kept well, but for security reasons the links should be renewed regularly. On the other hand, when an account is deleted (or files with a link), the link no longer works. |

Whoops, thought I mentioned that but seems I forgot. And yeah, nothing too major.

the worst dropbox has done with my files is making them not downloadable to the public because they were getting downloaded too much which is admittedly pretty bad but I don't think is what happened with TRS's stuff.
