Awesome info Princess Layna:) Although I'm familiar with most of this stuff, I'm sending you reps anyway as you make it dead simple for newbies to understand, so easy even a caveman could do it. Sorry Geico do I have to pay you now for violating your copywrite?:)

For people like romanesque please see this explanation as an example for how to use the information in my post:
I opened the link at BUCKET LIST LINK #13 (see Post #1) and spotted this link embedded in the code:
=====
<Contents><Key>2 Ways to Sell More Books Formula.xlsx</Key><LastModified>2016-02-29T16:45:08.000Z</LastModified><ETag>"93009461be58424fa110f3653c1dc46a"</ETag><Size>8943</Size><StorageClass>STANDARD</StorageClass>
=====
So, all I had to do was copy it and add it to the URL already in my browser when I went to the link (https://s3.amazonaws.com/giftfromshelleyhitz/) to get this download link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/giftfromshelleyhitz/2 Ways to Sell More Books Formula.xlsx
Once I put the full link into the browser and hit the Enter key on my keyboard, I got the download for the Xcel document.
You can do the same thing for any other documents you find.
I know it's difficult to see the documents buried in all that code. So, here's an easier way to search and find them. Hit F on your keyboard to FIND and type in the file extension you're looking for. For example, if you want all e-books type in pdf and doc (or docx) for Microsoft Word documents; xlxs for Microsoft Excel documents or mp4 for video files or mp3 for audio files.
Hit the next (or Enter) button until you come to a file you want to download. Then use my steps above to copy the file and add it to the end of the URL address.
All you have to do is look for documents to download by searching for file extensions. When you spot one you want to download, highlight it with your mouse, copy and then paste it to the end of the URL that is already in your browser.
Move on to another of the BUCKET LIST LINKS I put in my post ... or search for some on your own!
I hope this information helps.
It's a little bit more work but sometimes you have to do a little more grunt work to get the good stuff!
I almost forgot to add ... you can just delete the former file name on the end of the URL and paste in a new one to get another download.
for reading!

I you, StillStanding!
Thanks, buddy!
Speaking of GEICO (I have their car insurance, by the way) ... I wonder who writes their commercials. I'm finding them sillier and sillier by the moment. But I guess there's a market for that; otherwise, we'd be seeing a lot fewer of those dumb ads.

We both must be pretty smart as I also have my car with them. I think their best commercials was with that little gecko guy. Their latest ads are just plain stupid and really annoying IMHO. BTW, did you know that you actually pay more for your insurance if you pay your premium every 6 months like most people do. I've had insurance with Geico, Progressive, State Farm, Liberty, and none ever mentioned I would pay less if I paid annually.
09-29-2018, 06:08 AM
I didn't know that ... I've never had that option. I pay for a couple of my services annually and it's wonderful. I wouldn't do it unless I was confident in the service provider because it can be a nightmare to cut the cord after having paid up front for a year.
For example, I'm a big fan of Sirius XM radio but I loathe dealing with their inept customer service. Can't do it! Won't do it! So, I pay up front for a year at a time and forego the craziness of having to make customer service calls when they get the monthly billing all wrong. I've read horror stories about that. I also pay for my phone service (Ooma) that way.
But you're absolutely right ... I also loved the commercials with the little gecko guy.
I suppose they thought it would be funny to create a series of comedy-themed ads with their company logo as a backdrop.
Same thing with Progressive --- that silly Flo and her companions.
Utterly amazing!
They're trying hard to dumb us down!

Great share Layna as always. Max reps to you.
Also there is a very easy way to bulk download lots of interesting files on a webpage. I use a firefox plugin/extension called DownThemAll.
I just rightclick on that internetgeeks S3 page (or any web page) and I have an option of what types of files to download. I usually go for archives (Zip, RAR) and Docs (PDF, Doc, xls) but you can choose.
Then you select your folder in which to download the files and press start. and BOOM - you've got a lot of weekend reading!
I want to add a screen shot, but I don't know how to paste in a photo.
