A poll of the download link problem (Patreon)

Hey guys!

大家好！

It was a fucking drag day yesterday that I had opened all the download links before so that I thought you guys can easily pass through the direct-link without any problem. At here, I sincerely apology to all the supporters.

昨天真的是一个究极灾难的一天，由于我将所有的“里层链接”直接发送给了所有赞助者而导致了一系列更严重的链接问题，在这里我向所有赞助者表示道歉。

Usually, the link I copy from Dropbox is a cover-link, like a present box to make the direct-link looks beautifully. If you put the cover-link in your website, the cover-link will be unpacked and turns into the direct-link.

一般来说，我会直接从Dropbox拷贝他们的“表层链接”发送给大家。“表层链接”就像是一个好看的盒子，压缩了原本的“里层链接”。当你将“表层链接”输入至网址栏里时，浏览器将会自动将“表层链接”解码成“里层链接”。

And I thought the problem that occurs 400, 404 errors is the unpack process before. So I send you the direct-link this month.

而以往，我一直以为是这个解码过程导致的链接错误问题，如400,404等。所以这次我直接将“里层链接”发给了大家。

However I had tested yesterday that all the link I sent in group by Patreon platform. All the "&" sign in the link will turn into "&" in some reasons. And this is basically the problem that occurs the error problem.

但自我昨天测试以来我发现，所有我通过Patreon群发的链接。链接中的“&”符号将会自动被转化为“&”，而这个“amp;”后缀就是导致我们无法正常访问链接的主要原因。

This is only happened in I send the link in groups. Because of I copy the direct-link, which contains more "&" sign in the link, the download link problem just went in hell :(((.

而多次测试后，这个问题只有我通过群发系统发放时才会发生。而由于“里层链接”中包含了更多的“&”符号，所以链接问题直接就炸了。（大哭）

Here is some solutions I had found out after testing this morning.

我在这里找到了几个解决方案。 

The first one is that I use another way to shortern the link which can delete all the "&" sign. The whole process will be a new no "&" sign box cover the present box which cover the direct-link. But still it works perfectly.

第一个是，我将使用其他平台将“表层链接”短链接化，这样就可以让链接里不再出现任何“&”符号，从而不会造成链接问题。

The second one is that I use the cover-link like before. Most of you can still easily pass through. Because of the cover-link only contains one "&" sign, the rest of you which getting the error can still delete the "amp;" at every "&" sign just like before.

第二个是，我将会像以往那样，直接发送给你们“表层链接”。大部分人的浏览器是能正常识别“表层链接”的。哪怕你仍然遇到了错误问题，你也可以像以前那样将所有“&”符号后面的“amp;”后缀删除而解决问题。

The third one is a massive one that add up everybody's work. I can send a new post that contains the cover-link. And for those tier that contains this reward can access the post like I post in Super Fan tier. For example: the supporters in Combine Plan tier can easily access "the Plan A reward post" and "Plan B reward post". But they have no right to access "the New-in reward post".

第三个是一个相对会增加所有人工作量的麻烦方法。我可以在每月末发送包含“表层链接”奖励的博文，而那些包含了包含该奖励的订阅者们可以自行访问该博文来下载奖励（就像Super Fan超级粉丝）那样。我举个例子：Combine Plan订阅条目的订阅者们可以自如地访问包含“Plan A”奖励链接和“Plan B”奖励链接的博文，但是无法正常访问“New-in新晋会员”的奖励链接博文。

In this case, you need to open more posts to get access all the download links. And because of the leaking problem, I will cut all the expire time for all the links from 20 days to 14 days.

但如果是这个状况的话，你需要打开更多的博文来获取所有你能下载的奖励链接。且由于链接泄露问题，我会将所有下载链接的存活时间，从20天减少到14天。

The poll will end in 10 days.

投票将于10日后结束。

Please leave me a comment to let me know what's your concern. Or tell me a better idea. Cheers mate.
