You may want to do some testing yourself, such as: - does it happen if you download to a different location? Tried an external drive? - when does it disappear? What seems to trigger it? - does the file name matter? (i.e. try renaming the file before download) - have you tried other browsers? - does it only happen to certain types of files? - does it happen to non-downloaded files? Example: save an image or similar to the desktop - does it happen if you start Windows in safe mode?
and in perfect health
I have a feeling that you're assumption may not be as valid as you think...
Its not a rumor. Its actually in the fine print with some of their updates. They just aren't enforcing it much for now. I hope they dont get pro-active with non-Moicrosoft software. Might want to read through these when you get a chance. Some of these have steps to help secure your os somewhat.
I heard they were gonna implement some anti piracy measures into windows, but afaik those were just rumours. Maybe they actually started doing it? That would be so orwellian :D
It's strange! I've read some astounding things that can happen in Win 10, but not this one. (though I haven't encountered any of them myself)
I think upgrading to the latest version (1709) (manually not via Windows Update) and manually downloading and updating it to the latest build (through here) and then disabling automatic updates (it's quite easy on laptops but a bit challenging on desktops) can solve many problems occurring in windows 10. (And don't forget to not install latest updates right away when they become available, because they're faulty at first in many occasions)
Oh, I've googled disappearing files and apparently it is a Thing That Happens on Windows 10 (kill me). There doesn't seem to be any way to fix it because I've done all the things Google has said. It's just super annoying, but something I'll have to deal with as this computer is new and in perfect health. Sigh.
Like, what's the easiest, most direct way to give financial support to the site without compromising you, or giving my info to greasy feckers like the ones mentioned above?
Thanks for the thought, but yeah, I don't really need any financial support. It's unfortunate that file hosting sites generally are forced into these dodgy policies by financial strangulation that the payment cartel enforces.
No word back yet. Thinking it might be simpler at this point to just pay for a new account and fork that one over; I'll do that in the morning.
Thanks for going to all the trouble. I feel rather bad for accepting a second offer.
I can't disagree with it. Using uTorrent/BitTorrent (which went bad long ago) is like using IE, Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Flash Player (enabled with full permission). Don't use them. There are many other great options for each of them. One can use qBittorrent or Tixati instead of uTorrent/BitTorrent.
It's HTTPS by default since long ago without any special extensions installed. Just updated versions of Firefox and Chrome. (and don't you all use their forks!)
Original anon here; I got the key from one of the listed retailers. No word back yet. Thinking it might be simpler at this point to just pay for a new account and fork that one over; I'll do that in the morning.
Buy with Bitcoin or Webmoney if you are that cautious. There's shouldn't be issues with resellers listed on 1f site, you can always contact them for support.
Different anon here: When I read your comment a couple days ago about why direct links are down, I remembered your policy to not accept anything like donations.
I really want to help, but is there any way to do it without going through some shady reseller? Like, what's the easiest, most direct way to give financial support to the site without compromising you, or giving my info to greasy feckers like the ones mentioned above?
Thanks for the info. I tried it with another account, but got the same error. I suspect that, as part of their shenanigans, they immediately invalidated the key when I tried to add it to the rigged account. Never knew they did that. Sorry for wasting your effort :(
I definitely didn't use the code. I'll email the seller and see if I can get another one, but yeah, based on what you said I'm guessing that 1fichier killed your account. I don't suppose you could try signing up for another one and then use the code on that one?
A new exploit has been found in all versions of uTorrent, allowing others to download files from your computer and (for the uTorrent web browser extension) save files (like keylogging software) to your computer. Details: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-ze...il?id=1524
AnimeByt.es has already removed all versions of uTorrent from its whitelist.

So it seems your system is clean. Those two (UC and OL) are the ones that don't support download managers. If files aren't downloaded completely via web browsers due to various reasons (e.g a sudden and short disconnection from the Internet), they can be removed by that browser though it mainly happens when a download is cancelled.
Thank you for your response! Unfortunately: this is a new computer, I always download to my desktop by default, and I scan with Malwarebytes regularly. I know for a fact that so far it's files from userscloud and openload that do the disappearing trick. Filecloud (when it works) and solidfiles' files don't disappear after I download them.
It's a bit strange that there are only 3 BD (=BRRip) releases for Sakamoto Desu ga? while it's a rather new anime (2016) and there are many BD releases for other recent anime. Why is that?
That disappearing problem can have many causes, including (but not limited to) hard drive failure, malware problem, downloading with a browser (and not via a download manager) and maybe downloading to a folder you don't expect (due to changes in default download directory).
To verify your system isn't infected with malware, you can scan it with Malwarebytes and NPE.
