Attention! Whenever you see a big and alluring "Download" button followed by an insignificant "Create download link" or "Direct download link", always go for the insignificant and ignore the bright and shiny "Download" buttons.

Warning! Even with ad blockers installed, you may still need to click on the correct buttons 2 or 3 times and close the pop-ups and redirects before the download begins. Some filehosts bypass AdBlockers completely, in some cases you may even need to disable them in order to download. If after disabling your adblocker you come across an ad page that seems impossible to close, press and hold down the 'Esc' key for a few seconds.
Alternatively, you can use Mobilism's Downloader. If a link has a blue arrow next to it, Mobilism can fetch the file from the filehost, after which you can download it directly. For more info, see Here.
UPDATE (March 19, 2019): Over the last few weeks there have been multiple cases of perfectly safe and clean files being blocked by Chrome with the warning "This file may be dangerous, so Chrome has blocked it." This happens when the "Safe browsing" option is enabled. If you no longer want to see the warning, you can disable the 'safe' browsing option in Settings, Advanced: (See here). Even though the files are always safe and clean, you can still use VirusTotal to have them scanned for extra security. In the exceptional case that an infected file is detected, please report it to moderators.
UPDATE (March 19, 2020): During the past year, 100% of the files reported and tested proved to be false positives.
Note: you are currently reading the information thread, if you'd like to follow or join the discussions on this issue please visit the Social Club's topic: .exe or Virus warning after downloading an app, ebook etc. We will keep images updated with the new methods used by filehosts as soon as changes happen.
