I was miffed by these comments so I downloaded a few files to see. They don't show as executable but the last 3 files since 1/14/15 download with no file extension so you have to choose how to open it. All the rest of the files in my account are fine. It's just the last 3 since 1/14. I have no idea what's that's all about but I'll try to use DF for large file sizes if it does not resolve itself. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
ps: for future use if you encounter this you could also rename the file and add a file extension such as .mts, ,mkv, .mp4, etc
Nick, I think Oboom has a problem with filenames with apostrophes in them. Comparing the downloaded file to the thumbnail image of your last couple videos, the apostrophe is exactly where the name gets cut off. I'd avoid using them in the future.
To be fair to legman2900, I have seen other filehosts trick you into downloading <videofilename>.EXE, and that is a problem. Never seen it from Oboom, but Uploaded has been a problem before, and a couple other places where you click the "wrong" download button that's actually an ad.
P.S. I don't say it enough out of fear of being repetitive, but thank you for all the Natmo videos, I really do appreciate them!
