I noticed that quite a few movies have asterisks ( * ) in the links and wont work. I've seen other comments made about this too. What's the deal with these?

This is an automatic system. Most of these links are in the trash. This is done for your safety, as u see many links can work a day and at the next day they will die. Links with * are protected links and links that will redirect you to several banners and popups before you get the actual links. these are all prohibited here and not allowed. thats why we don't allow our users to even enter them and bother.

When we detect such posts we simply trash them. Though you can always find tonz of other mirrors in the site.
