"You must provide a valid link to your custom zip." Issue

[lordarrani]

So, I was working on a private modpack today, and just as things started to work, this happened. 

 

When I tried to launch the modpack it said.

 

"Error downloading file for the following pack: (name here)

 

Failed to download: (link to zip dropbox file here)

 

please consult modpack author"

 

Naturally, I looked at the link. it seems to me that the link is from the correct place in dropbox (share->rightclick download->copy link address), but technic doesn't seem to think so. Also, when I tried to re paste it, it said You must provide a valid link to your custom zip.

I don't know whether it's with technic, the link, or just user error on my part, but I need some help!

Canges dropbox made to the links now broke this. See: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

In the meantime, copy.com works fine. Just take any public share URL from there and add "?download=1" (without quotes) to get a direct link.
