 The process for uploading a hub to Figshare is similar to the process involved at CyVerse, where
 one must first create an account, upload the <em>bigDataUrl</em> files, create shareable links,
 and then edit your <em>hub.txt</em>, <em>genomes.txt</em>, and <em>trackDb.txt</em> appropriately. One advantage to using
 Figshare is their emphasis on usage statistics, so institutional accounts can see how often
 their hubs and tracks are being accessed by others.</p>
 
 <p>
 Note that Figshare does not use filenames as part of the URLs, therefore bigDataUrl files 
 that require a separate index file, like VCFs and BAM files, must have their index file
 location specified with a <em>bigDataIndex</em>. This keyword is relevant for Custom Tracks
 and Track Hubs. You can read more about <em>bigDataIndex</em> in 
 <a href="trackDb/trackDbHub.html#bigDataIndex">the TrackDb Database Definition page</a>.
 </p>
 
 <p>
+If you are having issues hosting at figshare, try to use the file's download URL. This
+URL will have &quot;ndownloader&quot; in its path. Also for custom you will need to
+declare a track line with track type and bigDataUrl. Below is a simple example of
+a bigBed custom track on hg38:</p>
+<pre>
+track type=bigBed name="figshare example" bigDataUrl=https://figshare.com/ndownloader/files/38068053
+</pre>

 <h3>Troubleshooting your own HTTPS server configuration</h3>
 <p>
 When your own institution's system administrators are hosting your data they may benefit
 from this section about ensuring a secure HTTPS configuration. The most popular web servers
 that system admins use are Apache and NGINX. Instructions for setting up these popular web
 servers are found all over the web, so this section will not cover those here.<p>

 <b>Certs and Security</b><br>
 As security on the Internet becomes increasingly important, SSL certificates are often
 required for proper server installation. Proper certificate validation helps stop
 &quot;Man-In-The-Middle&quot; attacks by ensuring that connections go to the correct
