Sorry, the server hosting the file you are requesting is currently down for maintenance. Please check back soon.

Are the files ever coming back ? I'm sick and tired to have my mega threads littered with dead links. It takes an immense volume of work replacing so I'm considering moving to a more stable host if they are lost forever.

Are the files ever coming back ? yes but i don't know how long it takes

[colie]

they must have some crap servers, some files from FF download at less than 50KB/sec (premium users)

Filefactory is going great for me

[jontan]

Is Filefactory banning accounts for DMCA notices like other companies tend to do these days ?

[THEAST]

^Nobody has reported such thing yet.

[avanoers]

Not banning accounts but a lot of servers are offline.. I have over 2000 files offline at this moment.

For my experience : RUN AWAY !

Always limits to force your downloaders to buy premium. Low rate.

But the worst is they had banned me whereas NO reason : no dmca file !

I just tested the FF service and my users so hated FF so I decided to remove all my files and asked for payment.

And they banned me and never paid me.

When I tried to contact them they never answered and deleted my thread as "flood".

Fucking theif they are.

When you are banning by DF it is always because of dmca ... but if not dmca they paid you even if your money only comes from referral ... But FileFactory are robbery so they don't pay your earning if you want to leave them ...

Me too. Never had a problem with payments. And, as a matter of fact, they DO answer when you contact them: FileFactory support center is probably one the best out there. Every time I wrote to them I got a response within 24 hours. Every single time.

Earning rates are a bit lower compared to other filehosts, that's true, but I do prefer a reliable and stable service which pays me right instead of hitching my wagon and my files to one of the many high-earning-scam-sites that are popping up (and then suddenly closing) every other day.

Filefactory has been around for a long time (since 2005), they are a Dutch company, their servers are located in the Netherlands and they appear to be in the best shape moving forward.

Almost all filehosts are going through server maintenance and server upgrades, right now. This is mainly because of the fallout from the other large filehosts collapsing and their customers scattering around. Most of these server issues will soon be a thing of the past, as darwinian selection (and the market) will sort out the best and most reliable filehosts and will kill or absorb the smaller ones.
I don't know when this will happen, and when we will reach a sort of new equilibrium among 5-6 big players, but in the meantime I am sticking with Filefactory.

if you compared all of these hosters, FF would be the best of the best. Most of the rest are "fly by night" businesses that will just eventually take the money and run.

When MU died several other sites just closed down without warning and FF kept keeping on with no plans to slow down.

Stable, I think just a few days downtime compared to other sites that are down seems sometimes for days.

FF never made me do a survey.

Last month they gave every premium user a free month's premium extension because yes they had some issues for a few months adjusting the wake of MU passing.

Payments are on time.

If you want to whine about them, FINE more bandwidth for me. I do not want all your files clogging up my super speeds that I get from FF, so please do not use this great host.

If you want a host that takes 40 minutes to remote upload a 700 mb file, FF is not for you (takes about 4 min).
