![]() FILEF#CKTORY
- miserable download speed - too often no free slots available - captcha-code (seems just to be an ordinary matter nowadays, but it sucks nonetheless) + haven't figured out any advantage so far >> maybe the waiting-time in relation to other left filehosts?

![]() I had to give up on file factory as a free user. It has 100% failure as a free user. There are hardly ever any free slots and when I do get a free slot its 4-6 hours to download the file at 12 and 25 bps and usually times out an hour into the download and to restart the file when I get another free slot it starts over from scratch.
I tried to download a few files at the end of the Hitomi Tanaka thread that someone posted on file factory and I have had 0 sucess getting the files as FF free slots are non existant. I thought that all posts had to have at least a upload that is rapidshare or deposit in addition to a suckier file host that does not work? |

![]() As a free user very bad. It takes 2 1/2 hrs to download a 120mb file. That`s
if you can get through to download. |

![]() So in conclusion I think we can safely say, that for free users Mediafire is probably the best file hosting service that you can upload to...
As for Filefactory, lets not even go there, unless (at least?) 72 hours with the same message is your cup of tea ![]() I did however find this; UPDATE - Sunday 11 March We are aware of this issue and we will be able to fix it within 48 hours. The problem is that a rack of newly installed servers is pushing out so much data, because the servers run so efficiently, that we have hit the limit of bandwidth on that particular rack. Please note this is only a temporary problem affecting a small percentage of files. We are increasing the bandwidth limit on this rack however it cannot be done for immediately, however we are pushing for it to be done as soon as possible. Hopefully this issue will be resolved within the next 24 - 48 hours. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. UPDATE - Tuesday 13 March Our datacenter is upgrading our bandwidth to the affected servers tonight European time. Unfortunately this is not an instant process but we have tried to make them do it as soon as possible. Once the upgrade has been complete download speeds will return to normal. We are putting measures in place to ensure this doesn’t happen again; unfortunately due to an issue with our datacenter we could not foresee this event occurring. Thanks for your understanding and patience!

![]() UPDATE 14 March
Current update: * Note: we are making further upgrades within the next 12 hours as it seems not all problems have been totally resolved yet * Previous update: We are pleased to report this problem has now been resolved so download speeds should be back to normal. In addition, the problem with many files being restricted by no free download slot errors should also be fixed. Thanks! I've still been getting the annoying; All free download slots on this server are currently in use. For immediate access, upgrade to FileFactory Premium. Alternatively, you can try again shortly. message ![]()

![]() I can't remember a time when I didn't get that message from Filefactory (apart from one time when I had a premium account) so it's nothing new. And I for one don't expect it to change.

![]() I think Filefactory is using this message as a strategy to get free users to upgrade to a premium account, which sadly has worked on me, but only for a 30-day premium membership.

Now I've thrown caution to the wind, and am downloading a full movie (about 850mb). Based upon what I'm seeing on JDownloader, it should take about 11-14 hours to download. To put that into perspective, assuming minimal traffic, in that amount of time, one could drive from Boston to Washington DC....and back. And there are actually people out there that like these guys? |
