Links that appear to be dead but are not
On our sister site planet suzy in filehost Mediafire sticky
A nasty little trick their using to try and stop the
google indexing / files on 3rd party forums from being downloaded
This is also being used on the search engine files tube for mediafire links

Anyone else noticed a sneaky little trick mediafire is doing with planetsuzy links?
If I highlight a mediafire link in firefox and "open link in a new tab", it shows up an invalid link(file deleted for terms of service reason).
However, if you copy the link and make your own tab and paste the link, the link is okay!
It looks to me as though "open link in a new tab" leaves some trace of the planetsuzy forum, and mediafire will just give you that invalid link message.
I experimented with that "open link in a new tab" from google cache, and the links were fine.
I couldn't figure out the difference in the links between the cache and the PS forum, when I realized the links themselves were no different.
The difference is the original source of the link."
