Unbanned from Dropbox public linking

A while back, my Dropbox account's public links stopped working and stayed that way for a good long while. Eventually, I got in touch with someone via e-mail and explained the situation as I had done in the original ticket. The ban was indeed automatic; as I surmised, one of the executables I was hosting (unlzexe.exe) was considered malware by their system. Again, it's not malicious, but it does modify other EXEs, so it could be used for bad purposes. Abiathar uses it to decompress the Keen games' executables.

On September 6, Dropbox manually lifted the block. I am no longer hosting unlzexe.exe there, but Dropbox has continued to work well for my other resources.
