For direct download of a file it's still working for me if you just replace the www portion to dl (www.dropbox.com to dl.dropbox.com) as a direct link. For example https://www.dropbox.com/s/xk5wli4qld...DLNoir.hl?dl=0 works fine if I change it to https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xk5wli4qldb7ey1/DLNoir.hl?dl=0. I've yet to test that for certain as an download= link yet, but theoretically if you go to that link and it just downloads the file without taking you to an interim page you should be good.

EDIT: Oh, and that end part after the .hl on the linkes (the one showing ?dl=0) probably can be removed from the link without any issue.
