I have this problem, too. Check your fileserve account in Setting-Host-Premium, see if you right-click and refresh it could get the status or not. Mine shows:
-- Status: ServerError, will try later
-- Expire Date: Unlimited
-- Traffic: Unlimted
So JD does not use the account, though it's valid, and asks for Captcha.

It is not just 'JD' that is having problems,
also:
MiPony
Fileserve Manager
ServeZip (fileserve)

However premium download will work with firefox addon DownThemAll, with this being noted it does pose a question: why only download managers?

I have fileserve premium and JDownloader stopped working with it a couple days ago for me (same problem as here, Connecting....wait blah, server error on Account Check in settings). I really need some FS downloads done tonight and I tried Fileserve Manager and it HAS SAME PROBLEM FFS!! Can anyone suggest anything? I am just gonna have to try loads of download managers or something...

If really desperate to download maybe one or two files, do it directly though the browser, otherwise there is nothing we can do right now.
Seriously annoying I know, but that is honestly it right now :(

In the other thread discussing this, user Notmetoo is reporting that the Firefox addon Downthemall is working.

Internet Explorer will let you have quite a number of downloads working simultaneously (just remember to be logged into Fileserve in either browser) so I'm just using that for now (I've got work in progress and don't want to restart Firefox to install an addon.

So i've been monitoring this thread for a while hoping to hear there would be a fix but so far i guess nothing, anyways after trying every download manager possible; jdownloader(obviously) MiPony, Orbit, DAP, FlashGet, DownloadThemAll and even fileserve manager. I finally found some success with IDM for most of yesterday i couldn't download batch links, and later that day i couldn't even download single links with it. But as of early today everything seems to be working well so anyone who wasn't having success with IDM or hand't tried it, you should try it now it might work for you too at least until this issue with JD is fixed.

i also have the same problem server error will try later, over and over, just with jloader, removed host and added it again filled out user and password, can login at fileserve.com
idm hoever does work, so it's definetly jdownloader, hope it is fixed soon, as o prefer to use jdownloader

I get this error with fileserve, Hoster problem?

Nothing works, if I go to direct link it is ok, but when using jdownloader, it does not work.

Any idea?

This is from FS's news post

For the next 48 hours, the API will undergo maintenance. This renders some 3rd party programs (JDownloader, Fileserve Manager, et.al.) to not function properly.

Why do you open a new thread while the same thread is still active?

Fileserve has been having problems for the last 72 hours and now they add another 48 hours to it. First they denied any problem at their end and now they say its maintenance, and I wonder what kind of maintenance they are doing that only renders download managers useless. Its ridiculous and they should be compensate us for these lost days.

OK I just got Fileserve Support 45 mins ago, it's similar to what someone else posted:

This response received 2011-08-18 05:20 BST (UTC/GMT+1)

Connection and download error encountered in Fileserve Download manager/ Fileserve/ Jdownloader are due to unexpected server maintenance. The maintenance is expected to be complete within the next 12-24 hours as confirmed by our Technical team.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Your patience is highly appreciated.

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!

but where is the open thread? I can't see it

Agree that there is lost value on what we paid to Fileserve if this "down time"
continues

It was explained many times: because download managers use fileserve API!!

Ha wow, this IDM thing is pretty good thanks!
Allows you to rename files BEFORE you start downloading them, seriously JD needs that feature.

Hello,
I kept getting "Sever Error, will try later" from the premium account setting page for fileserve. The problem is when I tried accessing the download page using my browser, it works fine. Fileserve is clearly not facing any server error problems, but that is JD is telling me. As a result, I could not download and keep getting the f**king "Disconnect? wait ........." message from JD. What is the problem???

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).

@Rich: filerenaming will be supported with next major version
