A year ago or so I could go to 4Shared site and download something, just needed to make sure not to click on the wrong link. Went to another doc DonS stored and used what sure looked like the correct link but Symantec warning popped up and found malware. Anyone else having any issues with 4Shared like this?

I got a similar warning a few months back.

maybe flag a mod on the link to let them know.

Wonder what it would take to move his files to another site. I would like to have a site which we could share/store files. PDF, JPG, GIF

I believe that Tonnees mentioned it a while back that they had much of Don's files. would be a good idea to have them somewhere.

I recall there have been a few members that tried to store as many files as one could find that was put out online by Don but unfortunately whatever files that were still left inside his computer system that didn't get released went wherever his computer went after that sad day of 7/18/2013.

Just yesterday I was trying to open one of Don's Volvo service manual part number 7743454 and searching the number I found the manual in the 4 shared site but also noticed it on Ebooks but it did say the host was from 4share...Just not sure if the others will still work without the 4share working correctly under Don's name.
There's a good chance that Don's 4share account has went down due to they often ask you to update your account every once in awhile and if there isn't any new activity to the account, it automatically shuts down. I wasn't able to open the file I was looking for from Don as it said my computer wasn't able to with what program it has installed but I did find the manual elsewhere online.

The three members that I'm aware of that may have a good amount of Don's files are achris, Bondo, bruceb58
Re: The passing of Don S

A few years back, Don stored all his images/drawings and PDF files he used at a file sharing website. I went in and copied every thing he had. Now that I think of it, I will see what photos are in there.

I may have to put everything in a zip file and share with everyone. Mainly Volvo stuff.
Unfortunately Chris has been personally busy and hasn't had as much time to spend here as he'd like so tagging him in may help him be aware of this question.

Would be nice if there was a place other then 4shared that was a bit safer to deal with. Who controls BoatFix, there is all kinds of stuff there and can the manuals be uploaded there?

I do not have any DonS files. 4Share works for me just fine, however there are a lot of ads and spam on the website. One wrong click and your PC could get infected.
