4shared problems (again)

[grip]

Hi All,

Is anyone else experiencing downloading problems from 4shared? It appears to me that there is a deliberate long delay set between each download.

My apologies to those members who are posting their soundfiles, I do try to listen to and comment on all of them.


Kind regards,


Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes, I have had problems too on and off for some time. It seems to affect larger files more so, unless it is my imagination. Also the time of downloading might make a difference.
Regards,

Hi Charlie,


ithink the time of download makes the difference, I had no trouble late last night. During the afternoon I had 1 download that only came down at 8kb/s. I think I'll have a look around for a downloader that will queue them during the day and listen to them in the evening.

It seems that their servers are well overloaded, I have a free account there, and expect some delays - this is what happened with rapidshare when they first started. Apparently the same is happening to premium users too, I wouldn't be very happy if I was paying to join a queue.


Kind regards,


Chris

Hi Chris
Yes I am still having trouble, 4 shared not very helpful.

Same problems here.

I mailed 4Shared and they said there were no problems at their end, must be my computer. I've been getting the same, slow downloads as Grip.

I have to agree with John, 4Shared are not the most helpful of companies.

Cheers

Some days I can click on the play arrow of a given track and it sits there staring back at me for well over a minute or even much longer at times, which can seem endless if I just sit here twiddling my thumbs. Other times and it's fairly instant. I guess any free site gets more activity than a paid-for one and the net can get pretty hectic between 5 and 7pm so this will add to the congestion.
I tend to play, record and post the results between 11pm and 2am when things have quietened down - always been a late bird and seem more creative in the early hours.

Cheers,
Martyn

When I try to play sound file, I also get no response, I'm not convinced it is down to the time of day, as I have mainly used 4 share between 3pm - 6pm, and not had problems, until last 3 weeks.
Take care

I would assume as it's a site accessed world wide, there really is no "busy" time,as "peak times" are shifting around the 24 hr clock.

Hi Mike,
One would think so, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
