It's amazing that there are still people posting their request for access yet no one has posted that they actually got the link.
To me, it's not clear whether the link posted in the OP belongs to xiehe318 or if it is one they found elsewhere. The link took me directly to my own Gmail log-ins so it required me to identify myself before asking for access and I didn't want to do that. If this is a private link, there's a good reason for it and the account owner is ignoring requests from people they don't want to share with; such as people on a black-hat forum.
Clearly, very few people here take the time to read past the original post because I tried to explain this earlier.
@xiehe318: Can you clear this up by saying whether the Google Drive link you posted is your own or one you found in an online search? It looks like whomever owns it is ignoring requests for access if they don't recognize your Gmail account. By the way, I am sending you a PM about this, in the hopes of clearing it up because I'm confused.
@All: I contacted xiehe318 about the link in the OP to get more clarity. I learned that the Google Drive link posted was found on another forum. Obviously, the owner of that account has set the link to PRIVATE, which requires you to log-in to your own Google account and request access.
Problem is, access is likely being given only to people s/he recognizes as users of that particular forum. All other random requests are being ignored or silently rejected. It could also be that the link is no longer working or was removed due to heavy traffic (once it is shared on other B-H forums).
At any rate, you won't hear back from the account owner because it isn't xiehe318's own link.
This is why it is critically important to TEST download links before you pass them along to others. Some links may look like simple direct downloads but until you click them yourself, you won't know that they go to a password-protected site or that you have to ask for access or log in somewhere to get the download.
Now, in defense of xiehe318, the link may have been a direct download at one time but once the account got hit with unexplained traffic, it was shut down or set to private access. I am in no way blaming xiehe318 for this but I wish an explanation was posted a lot sooner so people would understand why they were not getting an answer.
So, to those of you who already asked for access, it likely won't happen unless you are a member of the other, unnamed forum. To those of you even thinking about requesting access to this share... don't bother. For whatever reason, it appears that the account owner won't be granting access to people from BBHF.
