Why do you say the script isn't working? Did you "try again later"?

Yes but i already fixed it

Open terminal:

cd /usr/bin
sudo nano cb-dropbox-pipemenu

Find:

DROPBOXURL="http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"
DROPBOXURL="http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86"

Replace with:

DROPBOXURL="https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"
DROPBOXURL="https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86"

Interesting, at some point in the past mine was changed and I don't remember when 

    platform=`uname -m | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
    case $platform in
    "x86_64")
        #DROPBOXURL="http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf-files/dropbox/64/dropbox.tar.gz"
        DROPBOXURL="https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"
        ;;
    *)
        #DROPBOXURL="http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf-files/dropbox/32/dropbox.tar.gz"
        DROPBOXURL="https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86"
        ;;
    esac
