FileFront problems downloading

[Reece]

This is becoming most frustrating, it's unfortunate that most modders still use FileFront to upload their mods, and every now and then I can download some of the stuff but most times not!!
For some reason, and it doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not, I get to the "Download" button ok but pressing this just opens to a new page of filefront.com home page, does this over and over!
Is there some sort of trick to getting the download or is everyone else having the same problems?

Same problem here, occasionally it works as advertised but other times it just leads me to the homepage!

They must physically be turning one off and then walking to another server in another building and booting it up... happening too often and too long to be a simple switch!

or have they simply not a priority,to another backup, which, unfortunately, customers will suffer for and then you can easily get tired,

Oh well! it doesn't help much but at least it's not my system!
Thanks.

1) Well, I have a laugh about you having a FileFront directory of mods in your signature and still complaining about it. You know what I mean?

2) SHMF is still open for anyone who wishes to, just click my signature. But even though I invite modders to join and maintain their release threads themselves, it's only a few who chooses to, and well, I only choose to maintain a few mods for the benefit of many on my own. I cannot keep up with the diverse productivity of many people anymore.

3) Regarding downloading from FileFront or any other host for that matter, then just use JDownloader, the best free download manager available:

Yes i know! it's like Ducimus said, easy as pie to upload not so easy to download, that link is old and the problems downloading is only the last month or so!

Interesting I didn't think it allowed download accelerators! Might have to give that one a go!
Edit: Well I tried that and is worse than FF to get the application, pressing "free download" does nothing but open a new window for an ad, no download!!

Okay, I have put the setupfile on mediafire, try get it from there then:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?f4ej6q9p8cuu7gd
It's the windows version

And yes, just copy the FF link or any other host link to the clipboard, and enable the clipboard reading, then it works fine. I never use any other DM anymore.

Thanks for that Carotio, Got it!

Chee did that program ever screw things up, nothing I could do but re-ghost/re-build my system!
