Thanks for the tips, Layna. :) I would think that a lot of the really good files that come from Mega or zippy would have their names changed/obscured to make it harder for them to be found. And of course the ones coming from sites like this will likely be password protected. But it's likely the ones from black hat sites would be found by us on those sites, anyway. But I would definitely recommend playing around a lot with filenames, adding in random numbers, and stuff. No idea if that would work, but maybe. :)

@MoneyMaven: Thank you for posting this. I know it was from 2019 but thank you, nonetheless, because this gives me the opportunity to address a couple of things.
You are correct about the password issue. Generally, you can expect to be met with a password input field upon trying to access files you downloaded from a site with premium links --- but not always.
To my surprise, there have been times I didn't need a password with such files.
And, generally, you will not have this pass-protection issue with Mediafire, Mega or Zippy links on some sites that offer premium links as an option. For example, you can find TONS of graphics downloads at introhd.net, aedownload.com and similar sites for things like action scripts, graphic assets and images, templates, etc. with Mediafire, Mega and Zippy links that DO NOT require a password. Similarly, no password is needed even for the files you download from [Reported by Members as premium hosting that SUCK! Use MEDIAFIRE or MEGA.NZ :) !!!], Nitroflare and other premium file share sites.
And as for Mega and Zippy's site administrators doing some tweak so that their links don't show up in tools like these by avoiding Google's "spiders" --- there may be a way to do it but a reason why they don't. Until they do, I'm not complaining because it benefits us.
But getting back to the password issue: When you know the source of a download link, you can try using the website url as the password (ex: websiteurl.com). That should extract files so you can access what you downloaded. But you must first know which site the file is from and be sure to type it with the right website extension (ex: .com, .net, .in, .us, .ir, etc.).
Here is my recipe for using tools like these to find downloads: You need a pound of patience, a smidgen of skill and a researcher's resolve that "Where there's a will, there's a way."
