Keep2Share & Fileboom Issues

Anyone else getting a 60 second countdown from k2s instead of the usual 30? Just tried a link and had to wait a full minute, which is really annoying when you can't leave the page.

What if you would force the downloaders to stare at the page, till it finishes the download and everytime someone switches to another window the download pauses, until you return?? That would be even more annoying for the users!

Don't give them any ideas, lol.

That's a sure fire way to get people NOT to use the service.
Are they not already doing this? I'm sure the timer stopped when I last tested them.

The K2S timer has gone up to 120 seconds now, just what is the point of this.

Doesn't even work right in Firefox today. I just get a window with the captcha but clicking the free link after captcha input leads to nothing. Had to get it in chrome...with the 120 wait.

Seems they are done with free downloads and will be discouraging them going forward.

To try and get you to pay for the premium. I just open another window and do something else on the web while I wait.

I also noticed, that some of K2s links don't work in Jdownloader and you are forced to download via your web browser which sucks because sometimes the download never finishes and you have to start all over again.

You'll be waiting a long time then, since the timer only ticks down if the page is in focus.

I guess I'm lucky than because it ticks down for me regardless.

free DL on KS impossible for me today ... No free Slot

It seems to me they 're about to close business, trying to make as much money as possible with the countdown pain in the Ass and not caring anymore for the service provided.

Not just downloads, I'm having problems with uploads. They took away 85 gigs of space from me in one day, I have 1200 gigs of vids uploaded there and awhile back I had 100's of gigs of space left for over a month now I'm given space one day and it gone in a day or two. If I can't upload files, then others can't download them and FB and K2S can't make money.

Yep, KeepFromShare is just like Filechoker now, the counter stops if the window isn't on top. Looks like another host I won't be downloading from. I not going to sit and watch a counter for 2 or 3 minutes. At least with the 3 minute count at CrapidGator you can go look at another page, but for how long?
