I've had it with FileFront

This file is currently unavailable while we perform server maintenance. I'm not buying it for a second. They killed my downloads on purpose. I'm the ONLY one affected by this "maintenance".

*EDIT*
I should add that this has been an on-going problem. It is not new. I have not been able to modify, delete or change ANY of my files submitted since the beginning of the year due to the the Manage Files section being "down for maintenance". Down for maintenance for three months. An now my files are too. And they haven't responded to a single e-mail. Oh well, you get what you pay for :)
*END EDIT*

Anyone know of a good, free, game file sharing like FileFront, except without the headaches? File Front has completely screwed up all my submissions, and I'm getting no word back from them. If you wanna help me out you can send them an e-mail at support@filefront.com asking why the files are unavailable :)

Ones I am NOT considering:
- rapidshare - because it's rapishare and they try a force people into paying be telling them they cannot download anymore today
- FPSBanana - a pain to upload to and have no control of editing the content +full of whiny kids
- FilePlanet - they have really ceased to be a good source for uploading custom content, submissions get lost a lot nowadays.

Wile, I can offer free space to you. I have roughly 95% of my 768GB/month limit left and 90% of my 20GB storage left. [month to date]. So there's room. :cool:


PM me.

And PM me if you need another mirror...

r2dev.net, where I've been hosting all of my stuff and some of PR0PEN's is mine. I think it's 100GB bandwidth per month.

Anyone else who needs hosting can PM/email me too, just make sure it's only for MSA and I won't bother with bloody recolours or sharpened defaults.

Happy to see there are other possibilities. It's obvious that they don't like the files off WEC. Too many downloaders? Who knows.
When downloading it's often waiting, looking for other server, downloading doesn't start. Filfront? Nah...

http://www.edgefiles.com/ yeah they looked promising, but you have to have a site to upload. Not sure if I want to do that.

Adding Your Files
This is something we're sure will be asked often.
Hosting files on edgefiles.com is a feature provided only to our community of hosted sites.

This isn't to say you can simply sign up and host a page with nothing, just to get access to storing files either. Only legitimate sites may make use of this service.
Then again, maybe it is time for a Day of Defeat: Source custom content website

What about Shane and CoolHandLuke's new project
http://www.dod-federation.com/ ?

They're hosting map downloads and interested in supporting custom content. Might be worth a PM to him...

the reply:


Sir,

Thank you for contacting customer support.

User files for authors beginning with T-Z are down for maintenance not just your files. Everything else you mentioned is also down for maintenance. We will only bring these functions back up when we feel they are working correctly. I apologize for the inconvenience we are causing you.

Thank you for using FileFront.
