FileServe is working on their API, so don't panic if you have a premium account and nothing's working right now. It should be up and running again, soon (depending on how long FileServe takes for their maintenance).

Allows you to rename files BEFORE you start downloading them, seriously JD needs that feature.

Please, read "rename b4 download". The feature has been asked a long time ago but it was difficult to integrate it in the program. That's one of the reasons that jD is being redeveloped.

Probably will not renew with them.

It's amazing that you're still in doubt. There are so many other hosts that offer resume capabilities, don't use captchas, are fast and all this FOR FREE.

I can't believe they're at war against their own API. They just sabotaged it. Also their own "third party" tool doesn't work. I call this ridiculous amateurism.

I would contact your bank/credit card company, call the police or sue them.

@all

This can be an indication that this host is in serious financial trouble. Unpaid bills and not able to find investors could soon end FSe's file hosting adventures. Don't tell me that you haven't been warned.

Thanks for the helpful answers and support. I like very much JD, but will try to see if alternatives work better during this period (but according to the theory that FS is fumbling with their API, no downloader should work). Honestly I don't care much what downloader I use (could be even a collection of scripts, pl or py, because I run them in virtual machines anyway) as long as I can pass it a list of links and it downloads them automatically during the night (I don't want to enter every 30 minutes a link somewhere).

Thanks for the alternatives but I was so desperate I couldn't wait, I ended up exporting my (logged into fileserve.com) cookies from Firefox with Firefox cookie exporter and using that file with multiple instances of WGET (linux command ported to windows in UnxUtils) wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt -i url_list.txt

Turns out, 3 paralell wget's maxed our 10mbit leased line so I was all good

Hope it get's resolved soon I got more to download tomorrow..
GL guys!

I got the same form letter response from Fileserve. I would certainly suggest that anyone with a Premium A/C write and tell them that a mass apology isn't good enough. For three days, so far, we haven't received the service that we paid for.

I feel sorry for jdownloader and its team; they have come in for considerable flac when it has been fairly obvious from early on that this wasn't their fault. I understand people's frustration, and I share it, but jdownloader has offered an excellent program and the always seem on the ball with problems, so I hope Fileserve will soon be up and running with them soon and we can all get back to happily using a program we are all obviously happy with.

The guy running that host isn't serious at all and is taking huge risks. Please read my "warning about FSe".

Problems are not being solved on FS. And Premier Account days are being wasted. I will change from FS to something else after this bull****.

I agree with remi that this smells of financial troubles. Every time I pay them I need to log paypal and lock the recurring payment and this is really annoying.

You've made me interested. Please do tell more.

I've never heard of these 'free' awesome services.

The truth is that RS gives me about 1Mb/s (my line's top), no wait time, no captcha and all this for free. Only thing it does not give me is parallel downloads. But I couldn't care less since the speed of the single download is so great!

My FS premium doesn't work with JD either. It was a waste of my money. I will consider buying RS the next time just to thank them for their great service!

3rd day of fileserve premium account being shown in JDownloader as "Server Error, will retry later"

@silverclaw

According to their current traffic ranking (i.e., popularity) observed on 20110809 :-

59) mediafire.com (resume, very rarely captchas, fast, 2 links simultaneously)

61) megaupload.com (resume, no captchas, fast)

71) 4shared.com (no captchas)

149) rapidshare.com (resume, no captchas, fast, no wait time at this moment).

224 ) narod.ru (resume, no captchas)

304) depositfiles.com (resume, no captchas)

Among the smaller hosts you'll surely find interesting hosts as well, but they have less published links.

The explanation fileserve posted on their news page is pure crap and like.
They simply change something in their internal procedures, the changes triggered the bugs and probably they can't find and correct these bugs so all of this prevent their API from working correctly with 3rd party applications.

[Jiaz]

their own tool does not work either

So what the solution for now? To use IDM?
I hope the issue will be resolved soon.

Same issue as of this morning, hopefully they are fixing this and we can get back to using JD, and not through the browser, as I'm currently doing...

:biggrin: probably...they are all on holidays and put out messages like "still 24/48 h of server maintenance".

I cant believe that suddendly it takes SO much time to fix it.

Yeah, basically go with IDM until this is fixed Hertz, that's the only real working alternative right now.

What the, i just check back here and JD still not working with FS?

These few days with Servererror problem, i'm using IDM downloading on FS links, the speed is good and still downloading even now. Still don't like to unrar each package file

Hope JD could run smooth with FS like IDM, no prob, no complain, no stuck, no dragon ball and no doraemon
