Change to META Redirect Behaviour?

[kaled]

Having uploaded a huge update to my site a few days ago, I decided to do a site: search to see how things are going. Imagine my surprise when this yielded three results, the urls of which all point to other sites.

All these pages use meta redirects with a two-second delay to initiate the download of files from my site.

So it would appear that Google have changed something with respect to meta redirects, but it looks like a bodge rather than a proper fix.

This does suggest that diagnosing a page-hijack by redirect is easier now - just do a site: search.
