Zippyshare technobabble once again. :-)
Hey Folks,
We owe You some information about any issues with our website You might have encountered lately. We talk about the following:
- slow speeds on some of the servers
- long waiting time for the download to begin after the download button is clicked
- missing links after the upload process
All of this was an effect of a policy change on our hosters side. The changes prevented us from upgrading our infrastructure as we had to check for other offers. As we couldn’t add hardware for some time the load on our currenet servers peaked.
Good news is that we were able to get a good agreement for some decent new hardware from another hoster. We got the first batch just 2 days ago and started the migration of a few of the most loaded and failure prone servers. If everything goes as planned Zippyshare will be back to its usual top performance by the end of the month.
Keep You fingers crossed and give us some time to get the job done.
Edit 14.10.2012: www7/8/9 - data migration process started - ETR: 96h or more
Edit 15.10.2012: www10/11/12 - data migration process started - ETR: 96h
Edit 16.10.2012: www21/22/23/24 - data migration process started - ETR: 96h
Edit 16.10.2012: www17/18/19/20 - 107 inodes to go - 1100 already checked - ETR: 24-48h + time needed to data migration (we will not risk losing any more data by putting the server online when we don’t know what caused data corruption in the first place - everything in megaCLI looks ok)
Edit 17.10.2012: An update about 7/8/9, 21/22/23/24 - the DNS entries have been altered to point to the new machines. Not all of the data has been migrated till now. This means that some of the data on the servers will be not accessible for some time. No we are not completly crazy I can assure You.
The old servers where overloaed and where down for about 50% of the time so we decided to move some data to a new machine, redirect the traffic and move the rest “in background”. For the next 48h You might encounter files which after download have 0kb size. Don’t worry the file hasn’t been migrated from the old server. Just try again in a few hours time. We do our best to keep it as comfortable for You guys as we can. It will still be a bumpy ride unfortunately.
Edit 18/19.10.2012: 17/18/19/20 - up! 7/8/9, 10/11/12, 21/22/23/24 - has been successfully migrated. We got the second batch of new servers.
Edit 20.10.2012: We just started moving data from 1/2/3, 4/5/6, 13/14/15/16, 17/18/19/20, 25/26/27/28.
Edit 21.10.2012: 17/18/19/20 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 25.10.2012: 13/14/15/16, 25/26/27/28 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 28.10.2012: 1/2, 5/6 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 29.10.2012: 3/4 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 01.11.2012: Some users reported problems with file downloads (incomplete downloads, connections drop, timeouts etc.)… we have reconfigured our servers a bit, please report us any issues You might encounter
Edit 7.11.2012: www3/4… still fsck (it’s not a bug it’s a feature) :-/
Edit 10.11.2012: We got the third (last one) batch of new servers. We just started moving data from:
www29/30/31/32, 33/34/35/36, 37/28/39/40, 41/42/43/44, 63/64 - only data migration - ETR: 96h
www65/66 - the DNS entries have been altered to point to the new machines. For the next 48h You might encounter files which after download have 0kb size. Don’t worry the file hasn’t been migrated from the old server. Just try again in a few hours time.
Edit 12.11.2012: 65/66 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 13.11.2012: www45/46/47/48/49/50/51/52 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 14.11.2012: www29/30/31/32, 33/34/35/36, 37/28/39/40, 41/42/43/44, 63/64 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 15.11.2012: Holly shit, reCaptcha everywhere… sorry folks, we are testing a theory about file downloads by some “automatic software” which cause very high load on our servers. We hope that the reCaptcha will be only a temporary solution.
Edit 20.11.2012: www3/4 - It’s Alive!
No data lost, but it was a bit humiliating downtime for us. :/
Edit 30.11.2012: We just added another 10gbps to one of our aggregation switches to prevent congestion in peak hours. What this means for you? Better download speeds of course.
Edit 1.12.2012: www53/54/55/56/57 - has been successfully migrated.
Edit 9.12.2012: New servers added into load balancer, now, please give a warm welcome to www67/68/69/70/71/72/73/74… more to come.
Edit 26.01.2013: New server added into load balancer, please give a warm welcome to www75/76

Thanks for the update, it makes a huge change in the level of frustration. Most hosts can’t be bothered.
Thanks again.

October 22nd, 2012 at 12:44 am
ZS you are the best, thanks for the info
October 23rd, 2012 at 9:41 am
You have a support beyond compare.
Only few companies have such support.
Most would just do things behind curtains and refuse to disclose ANY possible detail about it.
Simply fantastic. You guys do not have to strive to be the best, you ARE the best.
October 24th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Hey… Love zippyshare, But there is a recent problem where I go to the page of the zippyshare download… and when I click download it just refreshes the page again and the download pop up window does not come up (just the same page) Is there something I should get rid of on my computer to make it work properly?!? Sometimes (usually @night) I do it again with the same file… and it works. Don’t get it. Any help I’d appreciate greatly. Thankyou Z.S
Edit by admin: Hey MARCO, please try now.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:23 pm
kudos to u…. and thanks.
zippy is the best
October 25th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
I keep getting the same problem as you guys. It just refreshes the page and no download window/link appears. Some of the links i tried were www18 www17 etc, which i thought had been succesfully migrated?
Must be a crazy time for you guys at ZS, big respect for all the input and effort going into resolving this. Thanks for the constant updates and info, all the best in sorting it.
Edit by admin: Hey Jewelz, please try now.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
You guys are the BEST
October 26th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
O M G ! You guys are really the BEST.
I recently today (very recently) were able to access a file (the page of the link) but could not download, after re-trying it failed loading the page at all, as some others apparently also experiencing. It kept doing that, no matter what I tried (because I always thought the problem was at my end). After about 15-20 minutes, page was suddenly loading up and the download worked flawlessly!
First time I experienced a bit of the bumpy ride, but I needed to only wait maximum 30 minutes! Worth it !
Server was: www32
If others experience problem on this server, give it some time. These guys work as hard as they can!
Res-pect.
Thanks.
October 27th, 2012 at 12:02 am
Why do we need to wait 3 years for download page to load?!
October 27th, 2012 at 4:01 am
Hey
Again, hats off to the exellent service and support from all you guys! I have not yet been on my computer to check but issomething i will definitely do tomorro
October 27th, 2012 at 10:07 am
sup guys..
why is the downloadspeed at 19 kb/s limited?
i downloaded some files from different servers and at every file the same problem.. only 19 kb/s
i’m using linux mint 13 and the google chrome 22.0.1229.94 browser

October 29th, 2012 at 1:39 am
OK, now I’m experiencing a huge drop in speed, I can’t download anything, what’s going on ?
October 29th, 2012 at 10:08 am
THANKYOU ADMIN…. SO FAR IT WORKS ON MY END DOWNLOADING. I see some cry baby comments on here, Guys relax… It is a free site aND YOU ARE BASICALLY GETTING FREE TRAXX… I’m sure the individuals behind zippyshare are trying their best to make it operate properly… Which they really do not have too. Thanx Z.S. Any future problems, I will contact you immediately!!!
October 29th, 2012 at 11:47 am
Thank you Marco. No self-respecting comment section can do without its resident sycophant.
October 30th, 2012 at 12:56 am
neither cry babies nor sycopath…..its halloween
they cosplayed as ‘emo kids’
on my side everything running smooth, getting almost max speed
3 or 4 files out of ~3300 act like 0 KB files…but thats not even 1% lol
P.S. found some girls panties in the folder ‘Public’ …trick or treat?
October 30th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
I can’t connect service 12 and 21 at all, is there any problem?
October 31st, 2012 at 7:25 am
I can not download files from server 3 as I speak
October 31st, 2012 at 1:33 pm
The filename of downloads get trippy weird =?utf-8….cbz
October 31st, 2012 at 4:40 pm
This is the best hoster of all !! Even better than rapidshare or other crap pages.
October 31st, 2012 at 7:27 pm
I cannot download this file: http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/xxxxxxxxxx/file.html
The www7 server is NOT back to normal. This link keeps crashing/timing out.
November 1st, 2012 at 7:55 am
thanks for the update.
Also, those experiencing slow downloads please be smart and use a download accelerator such as IDM, jdownloader etc.
Those that have problems when clicking download it’s an addon issue with the site, so far I get that if I use pop up blockers such as “ghostery” and sometimes with “adblock plus” too, so create exceptions for zippyshare or and then it should work.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:44 am
Is it the problem on my side that I successfully start downloading (at around 200+k/s) from time to time but the download stops before it is completed? What can I do?
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Thanks for letting us know! It is most great to know what is happening and when it is expected to be sorted. Clear communication is the best!
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:09 pm
@johny sac
Please be smart and realise that the slow download has something to do with Zippy servers/connection/hoster/migration/whatever, not with the users. Using download accelerator won’t help since the problem is at Zippy’s end. Waiting Zippy to fix the problem is the only way to solve it.
November 3rd, 2012 at 2:14 am
Hello! I want to know to the admins that I can’t download any file of Zippyshare with the JDownloader. I don’t know if it’s a problem of the host or the program, and I want to note (don’t know if this was already told) that sometimes the download starts with 2kbps or less and I can’t download the file. Hope you can solve it!
November 3rd, 2012 at 2:16 am
I’ve had 2 incomplete downloads yesterday, both files >100MB. No problems with smaller files.
www1 and www3 cannot be accessed at this moment.
Zippy uploader often crashes and doesn’t save the links then.
Would it be a problem to have another policy on this in a future version of the Uploader. Maybe save every link directly after the upload in an own .txt-File and at the end save a summary of all links in an additional .txt-file?
The uploader most of the time crashes with an “Socket error 10053″. This seems to be the case when the upload server hat a problem. It also occurs when my router has it’s every-24h-reset-of-connection.
November 3rd, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Hi everybody i cant acces a link to www4
Its always unreachable.
November 3rd, 2012 at 4:02 pm
1st of all many thanks to ZS team for great service!
I confirm masterM statement, at the moment server 4 seems to be offline (yesterday already it suffered some hiccups, indeed it was available only now and then)
Brgds!
November 3rd, 2012 at 6:58 pm
www3 is still unaccessable, so www1/2/4 should also be unreachable…
November 4th, 2012 at 7:36 am
hi my links www3 is still unaccessable wont let me on them at all unreachable
November 4th, 2012 at 12:10 pm
After a lot of patience I still have problems with many download links.
It is impossible to download, and when it does work, it takes 3 years.
I am looking for alternative site now.
Goodbye Zippyshare
November 4th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
www1-4 still unreachable at this moment.
There is another (little) problem since some days: special characters in file and folder names, like “ö” or “ä” etc. are not accepted any more. If there are older files with an “ö” this “ö” is kept only until you change the file/folder name.
If you have a folder like “Köln” and change the name of this one it looks this way: “Köln”
BTW: I have no problems like Aştî, the downloads are fast, although some servers have a longer reaction time (i.e. www41-44).
In case of www41-44 it is 1-2 minutes to load the download page and another 1-2 minutes after clicking on “Download now” until you the the download window of your browser (tested at this moment with www41 and google chrome, but it’s the same with Firefox).
November 4th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Even small files (10 MB) uploaded to www41 only after 5-10 attempts. After 2-5% “I/O error”.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:36 am
www3 & www4 still unreachable
November 5th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
www41-44 “0B server problem”…
www1-4 completely off
www21-24 also have problems
Does anyone know how to sort folders in alphabetical order in the Public Profile? Is this possible at all?
November 7th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
www3/4 now unreachable for the 5th day….
What is the problem with that one?
November 8th, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Connection dropped significantly. My download speed was 5-10KB/s
I didn’t have any problem with other sites though. I could even download a 200-something MB NVIDIA driver at 10-15MB/s
November 9th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
no access to www3/4 for the 7th day
November 10th, 2012 at 12:29 am
@ Spike
some of the files that were missing are back…at least on my side
yu should take it easy and drink some tea~
November 10th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
@ kris
just reporting… => 8th day off.
no problem
and wondering…
normally it’s just 48h ’til servers are back, but this one seems to need more time…
I still have enough tea in the house
but the file I wanna have reaches it’s 30day-period shortly…
and of course it would be interesting for me and probably for other users to know what the problem is and to know if we need to upload some files on www3/4 again…
November 10th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
I click on Download Now and a new window (same one) opens instead of the download Why ??
November 11th, 2012 at 2:44 pm
@Choco Manga: would be interesting to know which server (the number after the “www”, i.e. “www28.zippy…”)
November 12th, 2012 at 1:14 am
Still not working www3 and www4
November 13th, 2012 at 1:48 am
I unfortunately am still getting around 50-60kbps compared to the awesome speed I am so used to. I guess this will take more time…cheers and hope to see shares zip back soon
November 13th, 2012 at 8:49 am

what happens? ??? (It is my second comment, I hope that this one will not be ignored) Thanks.
November 15th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
www19 is down please do something
November 15th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
Sadly today my downloads are capped at 100Kb/s after the recaptcha was introduced.
I always had good speeds before ( 1-4 MB/s ).
Edit by admin:
We have not introduced any download speed limits. Please try again.

Edit 13.11.2012: www45/46/47/48/49/50/51/52 - has been successfully migrated
I still encounter files which after download have 0kb size at www52
Edit by admin:
Bug confirmed => reported to actual admin.
November 16th, 2012 at 7:27 am
Hello, i understand the captcha thing but no body wants to be watching every file they’re downloading waiting for the captcha… people likes to leaving mipony (or other software) downloading while they do something else. I hope you will solve this problem and this “captcha solution” will end, its a great site so i dont want to see another “MF”. Regards
November 16th, 2012 at 8:52 am
Start selling premiums and unban all countries IP, or you will be unable to run this site. Running a complete free file host is a dream; wake up.
November 16th, 2012 at 8:52 am
Is www21 running slow, only downloading at 200-500kbs, usually 1-4Mbs, don’t know if its the server or just lots of downloads. Great site guys, love it. Thanks for all your hard work.
November 16th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
the main reason for your increasing popularity is the ease of use of this website.
no premium, no speed limitations, no captchas, unlimited parallel downloads, only one click and you’re downloading.
now you changed one of those points, by adding captchas and by adding registration, im suspecting you plan on changing other points too.
you’re not doing yourself any favors here, by adding captchas, you’ll only drive people away from this site and to your competitors like xxx, yyy and zzz*, who refrain from using them.
my advice, rethink your strategy or in all likely-hood you’ll see a significant loss in ad revenue.
its your funeral
*now that they lifted their restrictions, they’re quickly gaining in popularity again
November 16th, 2012 at 5:52 pm
yep, still getting some 0 byte files from www52, but compared to yesterday it’s working like a charm.
Edit by admin:
Bug confirmed => reported to actual admin.
November 16th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
If your servers are overloaded and the captcha is th only solution (or the fastest) then use it because its needed to give a better service, but please dont add premium accounts or download speed limitations or a file download limit like waiting X time to download again. Please dont change for bad, your site is great!
November 17th, 2012 at 1:05 am
LOVE THE WEBSITE, PLS KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK ADMIN, DON’T LISTEN TO THE DOUBTERS POSTING HERE

Hello administrator, why not download more than 30M file it?
File size reflect more than 30M Download no!!

It’s a temporary limit, we will probably tune it a bit.

November 17th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
www4 is not Responding
November 18th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
”Captcha Not seen”
it may be the browser too
i have faced same problems but with other content than captcha
Firefox, IE 9 and Chrome <<< test on all of those browsers
if none works ask friends to enter the link, could be that the Java on your PC has some bug
November 19th, 2012 at 7:08 am

Nice! Keep up the quality of your work guys!
Thanks for the information.
November 19th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
get away with captcha. Zippyshare doesn’t work for several days now. No one can’t download anything.
November 19th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
I agree, do away with the captcha. The reason I went with zippyshare was that it was so simple. The simple download button was much better
November 19th, 2012 at 7:51 pm
why cant i resume download but kudos zippyshare is relatively fast
November 20th, 2012 at 1:03 am
I don’t get it. This is the best upload service on the internet. How in the world is it free and not the most popular??
November 20th, 2012 at 1:14 am
please get away with captcha. It is still not possible to download. Even when you type the 2 words it doesn’t work.
November 20th, 2012 at 6:02 am
Ummmm… Mine’s saying can’t login until I update which I have but It’s sayin I haven’t
November 20th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
please get away downloads with captcha, it’s odious !!
November 20th, 2012 at 10:35 pm
@jan: no probs here with the captcha. Only type the 2 words and click on Download. Do not use the ENTER-key! If you can’t read the 2 words you’ll get new word when clicking on Download. Done here several times and it always worked, as long as you type the right 2 words. If you make a mistake: no download.
November 21st, 2012 at 1:27 am
O____O
www3 and www4 back online
glad to have them back, thanks zippyshare!!
i don’t mind captcha….but optimize it for those who are blind lol
oh and sorting works in a strange way
one click > sort by name

Lots of files are disappearing and reappearing later in “main”. The last days these were all from www10 to 15.
Today some deleted files from www4 reappeared and a file from www26 (also in “main”, not in the original folders)

all is good ! nice ! thx
November 21st, 2012 at 11:30 pm
Abit sad to see you have added captcha.
But if you gonna keep the captcha, please make some more simple captcha.
They are way to hard to read. :/
November 22nd, 2012 at 9:53 am
Thank you for the hardwork!
November 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 am
I’m glad www3 starting to work again, but when I started to download, the speed I get is pretty low, only 12.8 KB/s..
I hope the speed getting back to how it used to be. Thank you,,
Edit by admin:
Our new ISP could have some route issue to Indonesia. Sorry, we can’t do anything about it.
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I had given up hope on www3. It’s good to have it back
November 22nd, 2012 at 7:58 pm
www4 is back and there’s a file i need to download from that server.
The problem is when i download it , the file stuck at 920kb and stop downloading.
After a moment it says the file download finish and it remains at 920kb.
Have the same results with many tries.
Any solution?

Why am i getting slow download speeds? Ranging between 12-24KB/s ??? I use a 2MB internet connection. Previously it use to download at a speed of 150-200KB/s.
November 23rd, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Zippyshare, No.1!!!
November 23rd, 2012 at 9:15 pm
Well, about this “no data lost” statement, www21 says: “File has expired and does not exist anymore on this server”. What about that?
November 25th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
from the captcha code has been introduce i cant download from zippyshare
November 26th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
The device or resource (www3.zippyshare.com) is not set up to accept connections on port “The World Wide Web service (HTTP)”.
November 27th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Would be possible for us to set a passaword for the individual files uploaded, please??
This would be very useful to me.
Thanks.

server 3 down again
November 28th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Login system is giving me a 404
November 28th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
Must be a huge migrating so many files. Major Kudos to zippyshare for actually thinking of their users and keeping us apprised as to what is going and when it is happening. I don’t know of any other site that bothers.
Hope the ReCaptcha disappears soon, it is such a pain in the ***!
Current download speeds and page-load speeds for me are not so great, but I am happy to persevere as no doubt they will improve with all the new hardware. Not to say they are bad, just slow compared to what they used to be. Which means they are now ‘only’ as fast as the best of their competitors. lol.
ZippyShare is still my favourite host.
Thanks for your policy of keeping us all informed.
November 29th, 2012 at 8:21 pm
when would the captcha be gone
November 30th, 2012 at 12:38 am

Well, about this “no data lost” statement, www21 says: “File has expired and does not exist anymore on this server”.
Same Server, same experience here.
Also some files from other servers than 21 seem to disappear currently
November 30th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
seems server 4 is back again
as for the disappearing files…i may be wrong but none of mine is gone
they just went missing for few days and now i see them back…
and just like ‘Pope’ mentioned i think zippyshare is still migrating files….sorry to disappoint you all but thats more than few TB
no complains from my side
Edit by admin:
Thank You for the kind words, and yes, we still:
- migrating files
- adding new servers
- adding new connectivity to boost download speeds in peak hours
Busy, busy, busy

Is there a problem or a bug on www55?
We have one file with 2 different www55-Links in 2 different folders.
Both of them show incredible DLL-counts (4585 resp. 5974) but only 3 resp. 8 “Prev”-Counts.
If you have a look on this file via the Stats-Button you see
Link 1:
942 Pageviews/1 Preview/4 Downloads for 2012-11-30
8206 Pageviews/1 Preview/1 Downloads for 2012-12-01
Link2:
5974 Pageviews/5 Previews/2 Downloads for 2012-11-30
10 Pageviews/3 Preview/1 Downloads for 2012-12-01
—–
missed files reappearing under main on 2012-11-30: 4 files from www52, 63, 64
missed files reappearing under main on 2012-01-12: www52, 63, 63, 64 (these 4 have been missing only for 3 to 5 hours)
December 2nd, 2012 at 5:49 pm
@ Spike,
then i suggest you google the file name of that ‘incredible DLL-counts’ file
and if you see it in google search then that is the reason…your file is just viewed, not only by humans
there are sites collecting links, search engines , scripts, bots etc
whatever(?) will acces the link is counted as a view…that’s my guess
December 4th, 2012 at 12:30 am
love u guys
December 4th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
no, kris. Must be another reason. Note: there are TWO different Links for the SAME file.
And with both Links (files) the Previews are counted als “Downloads” - but only in the “your account”-View
December 6th, 2012 at 7:28 am
Hi I have been trying to download like 20 times and the page keeps refreshing but nothing happens! I am soooooooo frustrated!
December 7th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
@jackie: wait for 48h and try again, this will help normally! And have a look on the number behind the www (i.e. www63.zippyshare…). Often all files with the same number will not work for some hours.
There are still files disappearing and reappearing in the “main” folder of an account.
Yesterday 4 files from www63/64, today 3 files from www47/63
December 7th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
Hey Zippyshare Team! Thanks for your Service! I’m a active User since 2008 and I like the “Only-Free” way of thinking
But I uploaded a 2,3 GB splitted via a Kabel Deutschland connection (32 mbit) to your Servers. Now my partner sitting in Hamburg with a 100 mbit connection from Wilhelm Tel ISP. The download speed is nearly 30 kb/s per part what my partner makes a little bit frustrated
I’m looking forward that you the fix the handfull servers that run not at its best.
The new Captcha idea is usefull in case of abusive downloading!
December 9th, 2012 at 12:55 am
Hi Werner, hi The Z-Team!
I think it’s not (only?) a server problem. Yesterday I downloaded a 130MB-file with good speed in about 7 minutes with my 3Mbits-connection. A friend of mine downloaded the same file in Portugal with a 7Mbits-connection only 30 mins later - but only at a speed of 5kb/s!
December 10th, 2012 at 3:53 am
Dears
In my PC, when i will start download, the CODE not appears.
I click in DOWNLOAD, but anything change
Someone can help me?
Best regards
Franceline Santos
December 10th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
There are still files disappearing and reappearing under main: today 1 x www48, 2 x 63, 4 x 64.
Interesting: www63/64 are always involved…
December 11th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
again 23 files disappeared…
another problem: exploding download numbers - but: WITHOUT relevant TRAFFIC!
The number of downloads is 3 times as high as the number of views… how could this be?
December 12th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
35 missed files reappeared tonight under “main”: 2 x www47, 6 x www52, 2 x www59, 13 x www63, 12 x www64
Besides of Server 47/63/64 his time there were two “new” servers involved for the first time in the missing file problem: www52 and www59

for example, use JD downloader, copy the link and create a DLC
share the DLC, people who have the DLC can’t enter the download link as its encrypted…
but they can download it
i think that may answer your question
as for the previous querry about the views…i got few files with a number of view @ 30 000
again, i think thats a server bot, some collecting software
December 12th, 2012 at 11:55 pm
I cant download because when I put the code e dosent do nothing.

December 21st, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Although you said www4 is back but I still encounter a file which after download have 0kb size at www4. Do I need to post the full file address? (This is the first time I encounter a problem at zippy and I am not sure how to report it oO

oldman, don’t press enter after typing the captcha.
Do only type the captcha and press Download thereafter. DO NOT PRESS ENTER!
January 21st, 2013 at 11:34 am
Is it just me or when I try to download something , the download speed starts off with a high download rate then it alternates from high to low , after a few seconds , the download speed just stops abruptly and hangs there leaving the download file to fail …..
Is it a server problem or something ??
Edit by admin:
It’s probably some kind of connectivity problems to Malaysia. Sorry, but we are unable to help You with that.

Really painful DL speeds from your www9 and www10 servers. About 20kbps, LOL. No, don’t think everything can be explained as “router / ISP / connection issues”, because every other service works flawlessly. Never happened with Mediafire (your closest model) for all the years I used it…

www9/10 looks ok from here (we can easily max out our office connection)

I don’t know what had happened but Zippy didn’t work well this past two days for me. it worked absolutely okay when I used it in saturday. but since yesterday the download process is so slow and then stopped before it’s completed. I tried the other download site and it’s okay.
February 20th, 2013 at 2:27 am

Is there a problem with some of the servers Zippy? When I click on “Download”, the page just refreshes itself - I had the same issue last year when it went down…
Any news would be (As always) much appreciated.

Sometimes (usually @night) I do it again with the same file… and it works. Don’t get it. Any help I’d appreciate greatly. Thankyou Z.S
