Hey amartin, maybe it's all your fault, FF's upload was never this bad before!

Hi. Some news for you. As I've already said, over the last weekend I opened 3 tickets with the FileFactory Support Center. This is what I wrote in my first ticket:

Last month it was the server farm being renewed....... Three weeks ago there were still issues with a couple of servers which needed maintenance..... In the meantime, as a result of all this, lots of my files got screwed up in the process and HUNDREDS of my links died away. And they kept on dying even after being reupped 2, 3, even 4 times.....
Now I've just discovered that almost half of the stuff I've uploaded in the last 7 days is already down (even if it never got out of the File Manager!!!) so that too needs to be reuploaded again.....
WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING EXCUSE FOR THIS WEEK, BLOODY HELL?!?!? After more than 2 months of intense use, I can honestly claim that FileFactory is one of the worst file hosting site. Five days ago I was fool enough to renew my subscription with you ("Let's give them one last chance"), but now this is really the last straw.

# you are not good for backups: lots of files are corrupted or inacessible, or they simply keep on getting lost;
# your servers are simply not reliable: download speeds vary too much from file to file. Some files come down at full speed while other .rar files of the same chain are stuck at 50-100 kb/s, even for Premium members and even if I try to download them alone;
# your failure rate is too high, and some weeks ago you removed one very useful function in the tool section which gave me the server name (which I could use to check if one of my files was available and then I could use a downloader to check file sizes). Now I will only know if a file is offline when I actually go to download it and start downloading, and this is much more time consuming.

All the problems mentioned above do mean that we have to keep constant tabs, and put some real work into this, to check often if a file is still available or not (since your servers are unreliable).......
No. This is too much. And that's really enough.

Truth is that FileFactory is one the worst file hosting site out there, at the moment. And after two months of paying attention to your bollocks and continue excuses, I'm simply fed up. This is not a free service that you gave me, I PAID YOU, bloody hell, but I've received in exchange only failures and time consuming unreliability.
Instead of capitalizing on the recent death of the other Great file hosting sites (you know which I'm talking about) trying to attract new customers by offering them a good service, you just screwed all up by offering frustrating inefficiencies instead. Over and over again.
This is no more tolerable. I'm angry for my money and I'm angry for all the time I wasted because of you. From now on, I will positively give you an adverse publicity whenever and wherever possible, around the Internet. My patience and my time have run out.

You know, you have to use a carrot-and-stick approach if you want to obtain something in this world. I've run out of carrots, so I decided it was time to grasp the stick now.

My other two tickets were shorter and more focused: in the second one I just wrote a couple of lines pointing out the remote upload AND ftp failures, while in my third ticket (entitled: "Reputation") I've just point them straight to this thread, suggesting them to read the last 4-5 pages here.

This morning, two responses arrived at my mail box. This is the reply to my second ticket:

Fact is that these are just the same things they are repeating over and over again since the very first days of May. We are in the second half of June, by now. And I'm still getting the same "We are working on that" shit.
Of course, in the meantime they took my money without too many qualms.
