1. This link expires after a certain amount of time (usually an hour)
2. A new link is automatically displayed on that page when this happens.
3. If you have downloads started they will NOT be interrupted even if the link changes.
4. If you have downloads queued up (In a Download Manager) and the link changes before the queue is processed your downloads will not work.

What is a Download Manager?

A download manager allows you to download directly from Naruto Mania's private FTP server instead of through the internet browser (i.e. you don't have to type your username:password into the address bar as in step 1 above.)

It also allows you to resume interrupted downloads,
download more than one file at once, and have specific settings on downloading.

Most download managers are free to download and use.
