Work for me

because Mediafire fascists (employees) likely read this thread:

until jdownloader can download from mediafire I won't be uploading files to them. yeah, that means less revenue for mediafire. What's more I will go out of my way to discourage others from using mediafire

@tony2long and omran

Screen dumps or images can always be manipulated. Can you please swear that you don't have an MF account and are using the stable version?

I'm not accusing you of fraud, but please explain to me how you can download and others can't. My number of waiting MF links is steadily growing and I'm on the brink of trying another download manager.

@remi
I think you know me from the forum..
I swear that I can download from MF with Jdownloader.. Free user...
About using the stable version.. As you can see in my Image I use -NIGHTLY- Build 12153
I really do not know how is it that I can download and other do not...(I is reallt weird and and I'm trying to answer it myself with not success,..
If you want I can upload my version of jdownloader and you can download it.. Maybe it could work??
P.S
I use this "C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx512m -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -jar jdupdate.jar -branch NIGHTLY"
When starting Jdwonloader....

I've uploaded The Jdownloader version I use.. Download it maybe it could work for you...

**External links are only visible to Support Staff**

I see that you're not using the stable version, but the Nightly test version. That clarifies everything. I'll wait another week and if by then the plug-in isn't working in the stable version, I'll try a 'stable' version of another program for my MF links.

@remi I'm also running the -xmas- Version 0.9.579. but it seems to work for me.



I do not have any problem with JDownloader but now Mediafire have a new way to screw with us.
But after awhile,Mediafire enable download again, reset the links and ready to go again.

JD bypass the core business of these kind of enterprises, mediafire and ALL of his competitor need of JD/crytpload and opthers but can not be dependant of them !!!

if mediafire accept to be cool in June 2010 it is because the business of end-may/begin-of-june decreased a lot !!!


same comment when RS used recaptcha ^^

[drbits]

The problem is that Mediafire is giving away too much to free users. If you limit your Mediafire downloads to one connection and one download at a time, that kind of message should not appear. That message (and the restrictions that come with it) are an attempt to sell MediaPro, when they have not done the work on their end yet.

Can someone with a working plug-in in the stable version please post the class file(s) related to mediafire? Don't try to add malware, because I'll check the files.

Thanks.

BTW, I don't care whether MF are managing their business properly or not. It's their business.

Sometimes wehn over using mediafire you get this page

But if you change your ip the massage disappear

Can Someone fix the plugin so that when getting this massage a reconnect will happen?

@drbits
Well this is why there is the reconnect..

i have same problem i atached my log, i am using w7/64

This started happening soon after I installed Firefox.... The mediafire download page automatically resumes about 3 times, then I'm able to see the download link and click on it. The download will start, but my problem is the size of the download. It's about 150 mb and I'm on a dialup connection. I downloaded files this size before using Mediafire's resuming capabilities but now it just won't resume anymore no matter which Download Manager I use (I've tried Orbit Downloader, GetRight, DAP, FlashGet, none will resume the files). I uninstalled Firefox thinking that it was the reason it wasn't working, then I tried it again on IE but it still didn't work. So instead of reinstalling Firefox, I downloaded Opera but I still ended up with the same result, nothing.

Anybody know of any solution?

forgot to mention one thing. The downloads do in fact resume, just not if the internet connection is disconnected which is crucial because I'm on dial up, and a 150 mb file will take about 18 hours to download (The downloads will resume, for example if I press pause, and then a minute later press resume). Eventually either the connection is going to disconnect by itself or I will disconnect it manually if I see the time for it to disconnect automatically is nearing (about 10 hours per connection).... It has worked in the past so I really do not see why it isn't working now.

@alexg1989
The download will resume if you stay at the same ip , When you disconnect and connect again your ip change and the download link will no longer work for you..

There is a solution for your problem, After you reconnect, before you resume the download you need to enter the download page again, and then get a new download link from the page and replace the one in download manager.

For example if you download the file " Mr jones " with orbit downloader, Then you get disconnected , after you reconnect you reload the "Mr jones " download page in firefox , right click on "Click here to start download.." then click "copy link address" then enter orbit downloader , again then right click on "Mr jones " fie -> edit properties , delete the URL box in the top -> right click and in the URL box and click paste..
Now orbit will try to resume for the new download link generate for the new Ip.

Hi, i heard, that the 10-GByte-Downloadlimit has been lifted.
I that true?

We're in the mediafire thread. I don't see any attempt to download a MF file. Please upload a log that contains at least one MF download.

We're on jD's site. It would be more useful if you would provide instructions about how you would do that with jD.

If you're talking about mediafire, please ask them about their limits.

sorry, you are right.

Just my thoughts but from my own experience, most likely you haven't cleared the cookies you get from the previous load of the page (I don't know why but the cookies seems persistent, ie. if you load the page and got a link, then if you reload the page again, it will load but you'll get the exact same link as the first load of the page, unless you're closing and reopening the browser, which automatically render the cookies as invalid). If that was the case, then the solution will be simple. You'll just have to clear the cookies for that particular website (or all cookies), close the tab, and reopen it again.

In Opera 9.xx and above, you could do this by:
1) First, stop the loading of the page.
2) Right click on anywhere on the page and select "Edit site preferences..." option.
3) Go to "Cookies" tab, and click the "Delete" button on the bottom right corner of the tab several times until all cookies on the cookies list on the bottom left side is empty.
4) Click OK and close the page (closing only the tab is OK if you have more than 1 tab on a browser window, ie. no need to close the whole window).
5) Then reload the page by either manually inserting the link or by pressing Ctrl+T to load the previous tab.
6) That's it, you should get a new cookies by now (and therefore got a new link) so you can resume it up using any download manager (not on JD though...).

The above were tested and done on Opera 9.x, 10.x, and IDM (Internet Download Manager). I don't know about the other browsers, like FF or IE though, because Opera is my primary and I seldom use FF or IE, and last time I checked (don't know if it's just me or not), in FF (or IE) there's no way to just delete cookies for a particular domain (it maybe possible with some kind of addon?). Well of course you could just wipe all cookies but for me, that'll be like shooting an ant with a shotgun! Well, maybe if you're desperate enough?

Oh and sorry if the solutions don't involve JD, because honestly I don't know how to replicate all those steps on JD!

Thanks for the reply Choco but actually, I deleted ALL of my cookies and reset my internet settings back to manufacture settings and that still hasn't resolved the problem. The mediafire page still keeps refreshing and I'm still unable to resume a download after I've been disconnected even though I had no problem doing it before.

Ah.. really? Well then maybe they already changed the way it's before? Hmm.. okay, I guess I'll need to check it out first..

EDIT

I've done the test and the result is.. THE CLEAR COOKIES TRICK IS WORKING.. Without using the "clear cookies", I couldn't resume the file (it gave me the exact same link as the previous link), but after clearing the cookies, and reopening the page, I get a different link and could resume the download, so it's definitely still works. Maybe it is something else on your system then? Have you tried to do ALL THE STEPS and not just the clear cookies one? I think it's necessary to close the tab/window before reloading the page..

actually, I replied just about 10 minutes ago to inform you that I've finally gotten it to resume a disconnected download... Opera was having trouble loading the page though so I lost what I typed out... can't go back to it either... anyway...

I used both your and Omran's advice... I used Orbit Downloader to start downloading a file, then I disconnected myself from the net while it was downloading to test it. I refreshed the mediafire download page and then deleted my mediafire cookies from Opera (because I got a error message from mediafire that my cookies weren't working properly), then I reloaded the mediafire download page again and copied the download link address I was given. I then replaced the current download link in Orbit Downloader with the new one and it resumed it perfectly..

It's a little more work than I would prefer though, especially since before all I had to do was press resume and it would resume a disconnected download easily... but this is better than not being able to do it at all... so thanks for the advice...

edit* although, it didn't fix the page refreshing problem. Mediafire still does that automatically... don't know why, but as long as the resuming works again, that's good enough for me.

Nice to hear that, Alex :-) Yeah it may not perfect but guess we'll have to live with it. Don't know why MF won't do the clear cookies automatically, maybe they did that on purpose, to make it harder for us (or some download manager) to resume the download?

:)

[drbits]

There are some other problems with Mediafire downloads that are getting in the way. They are detecting the use of "Automated downloads" and blocking them.

JD only keeps cookies within a single download attempt. A resume would already have cleared cookies.

@ pspzockerscene,
Do you know if we are using random User-Agent strings universally now? Or at least for Mediafire?

I wonder if we need to change the Accept strings to specify only DE or * for language (for Mediafire)? Most browsers are set to only specify one language family (not DE, EN, ...).

Just some thoughts.

IMO, MF are virtually dead. Their market share is already crumbling. Soon 4s and HF (HF didn't exist one year ago) will overtake them. I've already decided to host my new files elsewhere. I recommend a complete boycot for this host.

IMHO a good idea coz:whistling::whistling:
others ideas to detect a false browser is to do as **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

[drbits]

@ remi,
Mediafire is far from crumbling. They are still #2 in filehosting.

Yesterday MF's traffic decreased with 3%.

MF's nearest competitors, 4S and HF, increased their traffic with 10% and 11% respectively in the last 3 months while MF's traffic increased with only 4%. Both are quickly closing in on MF. It's this trend that I'm seeing.

RS are still #1 and by far. RS's market share is crumbling much faster than MF's because they've been falling with 11% in the last 3 months. That's no wonder after what they recently did to their customers.

You can of course criticise my source.

(source : Alexa.com)

Well I think HF and MU traffic increase Because Rapidsahre stop giving rewards..
So rapidshare reward driven uploaders changed from RS to HF MU FS that are other reward giving hosters... MF has never gave reward .. and they are not aiming the same downloader/uploader source that has stoped using rapidshare...

P.S
Really If you look at mediafire last replay in thus thread

What a joke, its not exactly an altruistic endeavor your involved in so why don't you at least call it what it is, a very good Leeching tool.

We haven't made any changes recently to prevent JDownloader from working so any fail your tool is having isn't even related to us.

This is the last update the plugin had... It worked and then It stio working while the said they have not changed there site and .., I can see that in other tools the plugin version is the same....And the plugin is working in NIGHTY version///

You see that they stop changing there website..

I think mediafire is not working because JD decided to stop updating the plugin while MF has decided to stop changing there website...

weird...

[pspzockerscene]

@omran
No one decided to stop updating the plugin
It was just updated TODAY (see Bugtracker).

Hi.

First I want to say thanks for a very nice download tool.

I have noticed that Mediafire provides some partly false URL's that cause "Plugin error". The problem occur when the given URL has an ID that starts with two questionmakars. A Web-browser corrects this automatically. I suggest that JDownloader should do so also.

Example:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

When this link is grabbed it will not download, just cause "Plugin error".
This edited link works fine:

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Sad to have to edit these links manually. Hope this can be corrected soon.

[Think3r]

@sinta101: Did you find out whether this bug affects only mediafire?
Anyway, I can confirm the bug.
Greetz

@Think3r: Thanks for quick reply

I have not seen this same problem affecting other sites.

I have notices another problem with links from sites that hold old sharingmatrix links, as this:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

This becomes a filesonic link in Linkgrabber:
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
but the transformed link will get status "Offline"

If I truncate the link to: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
before handing it to Linkgrabber it would find the old sheringmatrix file on filesonic:
on this link **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

This trick works with many sites. The hostname/ID is a unique identifier for the file. The extra filename just makes it more easy to read for people, but most sites does not need that part.

(Maybe this is in the wrong tread now. I just added it here, with my reply. Sorry)

TIA

Sinta,

I posted a copy of your message in http://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=19869.

I can write a bug tracker ticket from there, because it doesn't mix hosts.

Hello, first post here. Hope I'm doing this correctly and I managed to understand the directions. Yes MF error says "Plugin out of date".
