upload acceptable upload sites?

[swordblazer8]

I have created my first modpack, however it is untested.

 

Upon starting up the technic launcher and selecting my modpack, it failed to download with the error "error downloading the following pack: [pack name here]

 

failed to download: [link to download from mediafire here]

 

please consult the modpack author.

 

being that I am the modpack author, and idk what I could have done wrong, my assumption is that the technic launcher is incompatible with mediafire (correct me if i am wrong).

 

If that is the case, what (trustworthy) sites IS the technic launcher compatible with? I know dropbox is one, and it is one I tried using before mediafire, however it seems that I can't host a public file without premium for dropbox.

Correct, using Mediafire is "bad". Use Dropbox or copy.com

 

for dropbox: just share a particular file and add "?dl=1" (without quotes) to the URL

for copy.com: just share a particular file and add "?download=1" (without quotes) to the URL.
