Dropbox links broken again in 2017?

[_Mohandar_]

Is just my impression or kinda all the modpacks that had dropbox direct-links are now broken?
The download start, it reach 40% then it restart few times then it gives the traditional error..
Can anyone confirm this? Is there any workaround or planned solution? other valid hosting site?

Yes. There is a workaround.
Change
www.[dropbox link]dl=0

to dl.[dropbox link]dl=1

For example for my modpack...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugdr26fu4uc106z/modpack.zip?dl=0

I changed to https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ugdr26fu4uc106z/modpack.zip?dl=1

And also i have always just changed the end dl=0 to dl=1 or just raw=1 it has worked for me since 2014.

I've been using dl=1 my whole time, my latest isn't recognized by Technic's web site as a valid link. It's been about 4 months so I updated, so it's a 2017 thing for me.
