What to do if stalker mods aren't available for download due to broken link

Sometimes the download links do not work and give an error of the following:

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.

Try instead to search on Google for the name of the mod you are looking for. I found out that the file I wanted was still available and downloadable from the file front website, but the link from the stalker files website was broken. This may be because file front has implemented the new "survey-based" free downloads., But stalker files has yet to update the programming code to their links.

You could just try directly searching on file front for the name of your mod.

For example I tried to download from this webpage from stalker files:
http://stalker.filefront.com/file/STALKER_FOV_SWITCHER;101805
clicking " Download from Worldwide Mirror by FileFront Download STALKER FOV SWITCHER! Gave me the previously stated error page. So instead I went on Google search for "STALKER FOV SWITCHER (1.4)" and the 2nd result I got was from the file front website, from which the download worked fine. http://www.gamefront.com/files/11631650

You can also try searching on Google directly for the filename "fov_switcher_v14.7z" and may be results will turn up from file hosting websites or user cloud backups were someone uploaded the file, but may not have given it a proper name.
