Another Filefront FRUSTRATION

Laufen zum Ziel · 08-07-09, 11:40 AM

When I try to download a mod (like Von Hallys) from filefront I always (90%) of the time get their opening screen. I click the DL link and get this.

Anyone know what I can do about this?????

Not a thing. FileFront only keeps files up for a limited time, and the bigger the file the shorter the time. Once that time is about up they send an email to the author. If he doesn't respond they remove the file, and the link will then only take you to their front page.

Unfortunate, but that's the way they work.

I agree, it sucks!

There's not much we can do about it, but at least I can help you with this mod. I uploaded it to FF.

Storage space, servers and bandwidth don't come for free, but the downloads do, I'd call it a decent deal. Everyone always wants something for nothing and even when they get it they get angry because there are limitations. The internet isn't as socialist as it would very much like to be.

You get 7 days notice of any file deletions....simply check your account at least once a week.

Or one could use alternative hosting...
I still have plenty of room left for mods in SHMF, and it's free (I have never so far asked for donations), fast and resumable downloads (depends on users' own connection speed) and mods stay as long as I'm alive.
Just go and ask for hosting.

Oh they don't always warn you when they plan to do a clean up. I've had that happen twice this year... there website manager will blame you for not checking your email or your email guard blocks there message aka spam. They can do no wrong.

I try not to use them no more.

They should have closed on april.... There fools joke isn't over yet... :rotfl:

I'm signed up with these guys now.. there decent.

...and as a reminder, if you have a mod, you can ask myself, Laufen or Sailor Steve to set you up to store it here in Subsim Downloads.

Filefront can be a nonsense sometimes, but looks like it is my fault that my mods got removed, i probably set up the account with an old e-mail address, so never got the warning.
i'd be happier with the mods here on the subsim download link at the top of the main page here anytime... anyway

Meduza cheers...i noticed another 13 people have d/l from your post.........world domination next
