Actually I believe I was talking about the fella having problems downloading 1st links in multiple link files. Dunno if I can give you a hard and firm answer to your question, but I can certainly give you a half way educated opinion on the subject of those "reported to Microsoft" warnings, having had my share of plenty of them over the years, although never a single time from FF's site, after more than 5 years using them as my primary online storage site. There's alot that I don't know about those MS report warnings, such as how they are generated exactly......by users such as you and I creating a report or what have you, or MS actually investigating any site tagged with that warning. I simply don't know. What I do know though, is that these MS reports, wouldn't come up at all if not for my virus protection. Not saying that my virus protection actually creates these reports, but that it seems pretty apparent to me, that mine and other types/brands of virus protection programs, must work in conjunction with MS in some sort of way, as well being integrated into my web browser some how. Curiosity killed the cat, as the saying goes, so I've on several occasions bypassed that warning's advice, and went on to the page I was trying to go to to begin with, rather than chose the "get me out of here" option, the warning suggests we all take. So far.....going against their advice to not go on to the page I was trying to go to, has not set off any bells and whistles, telling me that I was under attack, and subsequent scans, found nothing that got thru any possible virus protection cracks. I can't say whether I've simply been lucky, whether my virus protection has silently staved off any attacks, or if those MS report warnings, are much ado about nothing. Ultimately, one takes a chance of picking up a virus, the second that one hooks up their Ethernet cable to their computer, with a live modem. It basically boils down to, how much confidence a fellas has in their virus protection I'd think. Personally, although I do put quite a bit of trust in my own protection, I do realize, that the best protection one can have, is plain 'ol common sense. A business such that FF is, won't stay in business very long, with bugs crawling all over it, and is probably a helluva lot more secure, than many of the shady joints this 'ol dog visits lol. Doubt I helped you any bud, but it's a great subject to discuss |

Anyone else having problems with download links canceling at about 99% and starting from scratch? I'm trying to d/l a 250 mb chunk since yesterday but the file somehow won't finish. Everytime I checked JD it was loading at around 70kb/s and the progress was on different Percentages, so something must always prevent completion and issue a reset.
Moreover Filefactory doesn't support 'resume' feature (at least for free users) so maybe one should consider to remove it again from the Preferred Hosts List Thanks, J4ZZ

I know filefactory is far from perfect, but - from what you have written - this would seem to only be about one file. Whilst I know how frustrating it can be, it does seem a little early to be calling for it's removal as a preferred host - especially when you look at some of the other filehosts and their horror stories. If - on the other hand - you have experienced this with a large number of files using different download methods - eg: more than one download manager and more than 1 browser - then I think there would be a case - especially if others write with similar documented problems. Sadly - these decisions affect a lot of people and can only be made rationally based on available data. Let's see who else is having these problems. :-)

It's a pretty well known fact, that the people that run JDownloader, either don't have the skill or the gumption to figure out how to configure their download manager for Filefactory. Filefactory, suggests that one uses Downthemall, an add on to Firefox, as the best choice for a download manager for their files. I've used it and it does great with FF files, although not worth a damn with other file hosts. Either way...one can always simply download a file thru the website, and their browser. Blaming FF for JD not working correctly, doesn't make alot of sense. As far as non premium users not being able to "resume" their downloads..... I know of no other file hosts that do either, without premium accounts. FF is on the preferred list, not just because of it's wide use, but the reason behind it's wide use. Files uploaded to them, last longer than any other file host, and their download speed for free users, is as fast or faster than the average. In other words.....it's preferred. |

And to add a few slomo hosts (30Kb/s) wich support resume... ********, publish2, salesfiles support it (and those are still on top of my personal worst (free) hosts list) Basically most of them allow to resume your download in case you've lost connection during your allowed download session. Cheers, J4ZZ

has gone on for years. You've said nothing about going to FF's site, to see if there's any issues going on, where low and behold....this message: https://help.filefactory.com/hc/en-u...ixed-s9-fixed- That would be why the file you're having trouble with most likely is currently out of service. As far as the poster putting up a "new" link..... new to you and new to being stored at FF, is two different things. If that link is stored on the server drive under maintenance, you'd of course get the same results. It's easy enough to tell which sever a file is located, but going to the download page. Obviously if a2 or s3 precedes the link at the bottom of your page when you put your cursor over the dl button, then it's going to be out of commission. If you'd like, PM me the link you're having trouble with, and I'll check it for you. Quote:
probably not click on em to begin with, have ever had the resume capability for anonymous downloaders. That's almost always been one of the perks of having a premium account with a file host. Quote:
the most part......somewhere between a couple of minutes up to sometimes 15 or so. If it's taken longer than 15 minutes, that means that the remote upload server is under quite a bit of strain, and that there's several people on it at once. |

So, I would rather use slow chitty hosts that work (and even support resume) than those that can't even complete a single file without errors. Cheers, J4ZZ

talking about have even been around, and they'll be around when most of those are long gone as well. Each person that's wanting to download something, has a choice as to whether or not they download from the file host that's being used. What they don't have a right to, is to try to tell someone which file host that they have to use. If you wanna download it fine.....if not....that's fine too. Just don't try to blame a file host....in this instance FF, for not working with a download manager that has hardly ever worked with FF. Despite what you may think, the majority of people store files at FF, because of their dependability. The glitches that come up occasionally, usually have sound explanations, and for the most part are taken care of fairly quickly. It makes alot more sense to try to find out what's going on and a solution to what a problem is, than to throw your hands up in the air and proclaim some file host sucks. But then that's your choice too. |
