Use AdGuard (available in our forum) before opening the download link (non premium one) it will clean most of the ads and popup. For the country like India where most of the download sites are blocked by DOT, dont use AdGuard instead use any VPN, you will get it here. Dont select the countries like US, India, UK to connect. Kat is accissible by selecting Australiya. There is option in most of the VPNs to have ad cleaned access, try using that. It will help. Its working for me 99% of time.
Thanks for that Australia tip, jhonienglish! It worked a charm (well, of course with Katfile you can't be in a hurry

) But it
did work without having to disconnect my VPN.

Apparently, most VPNs have built-in adblockers or the equivalent thereof. Sorry, wish I could give you better news.
Key words are "some" and "most," I guess? Not everyone (raises hand) is particularly savvy about the details of the tech they use. Adding some of the things that are common knowledge to old hands around here in a header to the mega-listing of filehost-specific instructions would be helpful, I think. (Suggestions to switch browsers, allow ads on a site, disconnect VPN, for instance) Also, I really think a different post title would catch more eyes. Instead of ".exe or Virus warning after downloading a file" something like, "
Having difficulty downloading from a particular file site? Check here first!" might be more informative. Or at least, cut down on explanations required here. Maybe.
