I guess FF is getting overloaded.. That can't handle the users who are migrating

Over the last days of April and the first couple of weeks of May, FF added and installed bright new servers to their server farm, to cope with that.
We are in the second half of June now: almost 2 months are passed by. Links keep dropping at random after a life span of just a week, and files need to be reupped over and over again because they keep getting lost or missing, with a failure rate around 25% (I'm not joking).
Download speeds vary too much from file to file (some files come down at full speed while others get stuck around 50-100 kp/s, even if you are a Premium member and even if you try to downoad them alone).
The success of Remote Upload and FTP is anybody's guess: files get lost in the process or they miraculously appear in the File Manager many hours later.

If they can't play the game, they better retire. And stop asking for our money.

very bad file host.

I used to have fairly good results uploading to ftp3, but right now all four of their ftp servers are pretty much useless.

It seems they have fixed the problem, right now I am getting pretty decent upload speed from LeaseWeb NL server, up to 16 MB/s.

The problem is not the upload speed, the problem is that a large number of files never make their way to the file manager after being uploaded.

The problem is not speed,when i tried to upload it went up to 60 MB or less,but the fucking problem is that it doesnt generate the link always,yesterday it did the same but after some tries it uploaded it,now it doesnt do even that.

Exactly. The problem is not the upload speed, the problem is that the stuff doesn't always make it to the File Manager. That AND the fact that too many of your links go down after a week. AND files keep getting missing, or lost, or they are corrupt, forcing you to reup over and over again (you better check what you uploaded over the last 2 months, after they installed their new servers at the beginning of May: you'll find that a good 20-25% of your files is gone).
AND download speed that varies too much from file to file (from 50 kb/s to your full bandwidth). AND the Remote Upload which usually works in fits and starts.

Is there something positive? Oh yeah, they have a very good and user-friendly File Manager, though. One of the best around. I give them that.
It seems to be the only good thing, at the moment.

lol its funny we went through these same problems last year and when we complained they banned us from posting. Thats how I found this thread since we could not post it in their forum. I knew when they went unlimited thing would really go downhill since it had all these problems even with limiting uploads and downloads. They might have to redo a lot of their software since it looks like the hardware works only when new, once some load comes in things go downhill. Heck even filesonic had problems and so did megaupload and those guys had a lot more money to burn. filesonic fixed the overload problem by saying files got some weird signature hit and got deleted. Megaupload just sat there for days and did nothing until you deleted it yourself. No one can do unlimited these days.. People with gig ports can easily send a terrabyte of data a day! 20 people doing that a day and its time for a new server every single day.

I have 2 servers with gig ports
though the one spends 90% of it's time just encoding
still if I can't send at at-least 30MBs I get annoyed
im not uploading to FF rate now though
yesterday I sent 1000 files and only 40 arrived (time to move on)
maybe try again later
