One of the reasons for the Request section to exist is to solve the problem of books being 'held' hostage by posters, no one can leave our members without options. Anything that is already posted can be requested in different languages, versions, translations, editions, and especially, uploaded to a supported filehost if the premium link is dead and the original poster declined to replace it.
We all know that most filehosts have short retention periods and links die for expiration quickly if not downloaded, it is a real problem for all posters. But expiration does not apply to recent uploads, so unless there are other reasons for a file to have been deleted in the filehost (PM me for more info), please report this abuse as soon as you detect it, we will make sure it doesn't happen again.
