(Click button and then)
Couldn't get valid connection to DB

LOL FF you suck so much

 

If everyone is so unhappy with FileFactory, then why are people still using it? There are so many other hosts that could be used; people only want to complain, but never change

 

While there are certainly other hosts out there I've yet to find one that has that has the benefits FF offered that are important to me.
1) Lifetime membership at a reasonable price.
2)Unlimited amount of uploads that are permanent.
3)Files are searchable by me and other members-no links need to be supplied.
I found FF the only host that fit the bill. I would consider others but so far none meet those criteria.

 

I have enjoyed a lifetime prescription to FF for the last few years. The benefits still outweigh the detriments. Not by much, considering that JDownloader no longer accepts it, and perhaps a few other minor issues. But I'll stick with it for as long as they remain viable. Even if right now they've got a wheel or two in the ditch.

i just clicked on the FF link in this post, and everything just fine. downloading now and will take about 2 hours, which is normal for me.

BTW, i have my VPN turned off. maybe having your VPN turned on is causing an issue? im anything but a computer expert, but its worth a try.

oh, im not a FF member, either. never have been

 

I haven't tried it cos I'm managing my data but noticed any FF link is reverting to the classic prompt design wether it works I'll try in a few days

 

Just tried uploading a 2.68 GB file. Screen shows its at 100% but wont "rollover" to done. Does not appear in My Files.

 

It seems pretty random. I just completed an 8-hour download (non-member) without difficulty.

 

I stand corrected.Just checked again and the uploaded file was there.

 

I can't say for certain, but I did post 3 links in the last couple hours in answer to requests for those files and so far, so good...

 

So I get the feeling for downloads by reverting to the classic layout they maybe listened and may develop a more robust new design. Their new design still remains as their front page though.

 

And now I can't get anything off Mega. I am being prompted to download the desktop app which I already have.

I would say time to go back to trade by mail but in the US we can't get packages from overseas anymore.

 

Uploading larger files to FF has been working the last couple of days.Just have to be patient waiting for it to finish.

 

For some members FF links, I can just click on the link and it DLs
For others, that fails, and I have to do a Save As on the link
Just seems inconsistent, perhaps based on how it was uploaded or shared

 

more likely, it depends on which server it's on & whether or not it's affected by whatever glitch...

you have to realize, that, they have a complex site, that handles a heavy volume of traffic. Imagine having hundreds of thousands of drives hooked up to your computer & having them all sync'd up, having security, managing subscriptions, vs free accounts, vs non-members.

I'm not a FF fan, but, w/ my certain (limited) website managing/admin experience, I couldn't imagine the headaches they are having right now. It sucks, but, what can you do?

Just hope they get it resolved quick & make it up to their (paid) customers...

 

I just did what I'd call an instant download not requiring a sign-in (because i had the link copied elsewhere but didn't know it would as described) and job done. So I thought I'd try another link which is a slow DL tried it 5 times cos after the countdown tapped the prompt and sits there twidling it's thumbs.

 

JD works with FF now. I've been using it for the last few days. The problem I have is when I am uploading multiple files, there is a coincidental crash of the server. The egocentrist in me says I am causing this. Shame on me. The pragmatist says no, there are thousands of users that simultaneously overwhelm FF's servers. That seems much closer to the reality of the sitch. Meanwhile, whereas when an upload is complete, I can easily move them to a designated folder, when the crash happens, all my uploads are relegated to the "root" folder and cannot be moved. That function does not (yet) exist. It should, but it doesn't.

Anyway. I have reuploaded nearly the entire Ultimate Kissology with (so far) no problems or broken links. We'll see how long this can last.

I've always had issues with multiple uploads on FF. But I am on cable(Spectrum) not fiber so my upload speed is not great.
