FileFront nonsense

[padmack]

At the risk of flogging a dead horse with this one; what the hell is the story with this "FF" (FileFront) thing?

It has allowed me to download NOTHING despite being registered? Doesnt it affect anyone else? I really, really want to get some of these excellent looking mods but for some reason, can't.

What surpose does it perve?

Filefront downloading is pretty easy. Try this link
http://hosted.filefront.com/bobchase

On the right side of Chrono.zip you should see download Now in light blue and underlined. When you left-click on that link, a pop-up box should open up with three options: Open, Save, and Cancel. Choose the Save option.

If the pop-up does not appear, then did you hear a beep and see a small yellow line appear in your browser screen?

In this case, you must right-click on that line and follow Bill Gate's instructions to get your file because your browser's security is keeping you from getting the pop-up box.

Happy Trails,

Bob Chase

---->is exactly what im getting consistently. Now, I did think it was my Kasparsky Security thing, which is a nightmare frankly, but I checked its quarantine and it doesn't seem to take issue with pop-ups etc. My interpretation of the above message is that the site is rejecting me???

AGH....

BTW thanks for you help, bobchase

Incidentally, i found some thread mentioning "enabling cookies" and I have and if it worked for some, it hassnt worked for me. The quest continues

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

Not me. In fact I only use FileFront because it's given me less trouble that anything else I've seen, except for files hosted at someone's own site.

I wish I could help, but I have no idea what the problem could be.

I have same problem for a months and i did not find any solution for this.
I also tried with cookies but also didn´t worked, i only concluded that sometimes if you try to repeat DL procedure for about 10 or 20 times(klick on download and then klick on BACK on IE and then klick again on DL) sometimes you can succed to download something, but not working on every downloads.

It´s very frustrating!:arrgh!:

If your using IE you could try Firefox, I changed (very easy) & never going back!:up:

I'm using Firefox 3 and still receive those messages! :damn:

I just wait and wait until the download screen appears...

Maybe it has something to do with the location of where are you downloading from... :hmm:

[Wolfehunter]

This may be far fetched but maybe your ISP is restricting it or throttling your speed?

Welcome aboard :)

FF became an ass licking company which recently changed their policy to "stay free for downloads" as they say. Where you from ? The question is will you be able to download files with or without problems is your location.
If you live in big country such as USA, UK, Canada, Russia you will have no problems downloading files with one click to download.

In my case when I contacted the FF support operator by e-mail and reported my problems with always delayed or even impossible conditions to use their service. I got the simple reply to "keep trying again and again" since the priority of services is firstly adjusted to BIG countrys in order to stay a free service for them.. :damn:

Last time I've spent half an hour clicking and waiting with no joy to download the mod I really wanted.

[joegrundman]

I have the same issue d/ling from Filefront. I have to try 10 to 20 times. I'm in Tokyo - hardly a 'small' country, and i have highspeed internet.

Strangely the problem only started round about january. I now prefer any other file host

furthermore my ISP has changed without any effect on the ff issue.

edit: well i guess maybe ff thinks japan is a small country - it's quite likely that there are japanese language file hosts that are preferred by Japanese users

[padmack]

Id say I should try repeated and relentless clicking of D/L buttons.

Im quite happy my machine is not at fault. Don't ask me why. We have an uneasy alliance and I dont want to ginx it.

BTW Im in Ireland so 'ISP' is a sound and not an abbreviation

Thanks for your replies, lads

I also just tried using a proxy server and again no joy. I dont understand

[danurve]

padmack; Sorry to hear about the FF troubles, it's just popular because usually it's easy to use.
What are you looking for? Chances are there's an alternate d/l site.

[honkietonk]

Hi All.im Having The Same Problem.
Im From Israel- So I Guess I Can Click Download Till I Die....
This Site Realy Sucks,
If Any Of You Guys Can Upload Via Rapidshare Or Even Myspace,that'll Help The Noobies Of The 3rd World Lot.:sunny:

[FIREWALL]

FF works 99% of the time.:yep:

As I said, I've never had a problem with FF, but, as you point out, I live in the USA. I usually stay away from RapidShare because of the hoops they make you jump through, but...

Why don't you all make a list of mods you want. I'm sure that between several of us we can get them up on RS or another site, so you're not left out.

[honkietonk]

I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU.CANT DOWNLOAD NOTHING.
AND THIS REALY FRUSTRATING,COS THIS GAME IS REALY COMPLICATED AND REQUIRES A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICING AND AS A ROOKIE THE ONLY PLACE I CAN SEEK HELP IS THIS FORUM(THE MANUAL IS USELESS).
I PRSONALLY TRYING TO DOWNLOAD Legions_SH4_Noob_Guide IF ANYONE COULD UPLOAD SOMEWHERE ELSE 'I KNOW THAT WOULD HELP A LOT OF NOOBS.

CHEERS.:know:

[Sailor Steve]

I just tried RapidShare - they have a 200MB limit, and Legion's Guide is 224. Will try some others and get back to you.

[von hally]

i couldnt d/l anything from ff for ages.......then realized that zone-alarm firewall was the problem......disabled it for a few mins.......hey presto!!!!

[honkietonk]

ive disabled everything i can but still no help.

i managed someonr to download this file via a friend in the us who downloaded and sent it through ICQ.
THANKS A LOT, VERY HELPFULL TUTORIAL.

[Reece]

I have no trouble here in Australia using Firefox, XP Pro with SP3 and windows firewall disabled, COMODO Firewall installed.:yep: Try deleting tempory internet files.

[Go4It]

This may be an alternative to FF, which I can't DL from either an I'm in the USA, NY.

Try BitTorrent, one site you can release on is http://isohunt.com/.
A good an SMALL app to DL torrents is UTorrent @ http://www.utorrent.com/


SIDE EFFECT: FILE needs to be stored on ones computer an SEEDED with the utorrent program. The more seeder there are the FASTER the DL

NO SIZE LIMIT

It seems that FileFront have been operating some form of restrictive filtering for quite some time.

Some proxy addresses are given in the above article which may help those affected.

Thanks a lot, this stuff will surely make life easier from now with FF :up:

[Cheapskate]

Hope so, mate,....as long as FF don't block those proxies!!!

Still if they do, there will hopefully be others linked on the Coolsmurf site.

You aren't having much luck lately are you. That's the second time you've been caught out with something like this in the last few months.

Perhaps it's time to restablish the old Lithuanian empire. Then you might be big enough to get a decent Internet service:rotfl:

[padmack]

I cant get the free proxy idea to work either!

The mods I am quite keen to get are:

*Torpedo Damage Mod Final Version by OceanBlue
*SH4 Effects (and more) for SH3 by Racerboy
*or this http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=124207 (same as above)

Ive managed to get GWX and a few small mods such as ships etc but only because they are available elsewhere! I have NEVER been successful at FileFront!

But, im afraid i have to put this one to bed because im leaving the country fo a few months and im running out of free time. Too bad

Sorry to hear the proxy method doesn't work Padmack. Wonder how long this is going to go on.
I'm guessing you are South of the border????
Do you know if it's affecting the North???

Edit

You have couple of PMs

[Cheapskate]

Well,when I tried earlier they were showing OK ....but you couldn't download those two....got thrown back to File Front Main Page.

In fact, I still can't get them.... just tried again. One encouraging thing???? - your file info showed a total of 6 files available although all 8 were listed. Now file total shows 8 available. Maybe FF have reprieved them:hmm:

Then again....Maybe you should wear your brown trousers before checking again :rotfl:
