Root Trouble updating

In the backside updater app in my app drawer, it says theres a new package avaliable. When i click download it brings me to mediafire.com but its just a blank white screen. Whys this?
 
I was reading on another forum that Mediafire borked their site in mobile view. In your browser (if yer using the stock one that comes with BACKside) go into it's settings and temporarily change the user agent to IE6. See if that helps.

EDIT: Make sure that after you've reset the user agent that you also clear the cache and history for the browser. I backed totally out of the browser after I cleared everything and then went back to the download page.
 
I was using Opera and couldn't get it to work with either Mobile or Desktop agent. Even tried the stock broswer with not luck. I finally installed Dolphin browser and it worked with the desktop agent
 
Dolphin changed something in there latest update that it shows blank in mobile view rather than showing the full site.
 
It's not Dolphin. It's Mediafire itself. Something is wrong with their mobile site settings and not all of the browsers are rendering the download pages correctly.

Stock browser that came with BACKside:

Same stock browser reset to IE6 agent:

In order for it to show after you've reset it to IE6 agent, you have to clear the browser cache and history.
 
Alright yeah changing it to IE6 worked. The updates are always like over 60mb. Is it even worth losing all that memory?

The only thing you might worry about is your backups that get saved to your SD card each time you update. I have to clear mine out once in awhile (always keeping 3 of the most recent). That backup folder can get fairly large if you're not keeping an eye on it. ;)
