Michael Emrys Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How the heck do you get File factory to work? I'm trying for the Mac version and I jump through all the hoops, but at the end all I get is a page with a bunch of ads and offers on it. I don't get it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ditched that one and got on the German server. Still over an hour to dl. Only at 132KB/sec. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Michael, look for a text link at the end of the process. It says something like this: Download with FileFactory Basic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex J. Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 AFAIK they are using a cloud network. This means that depending on your location, you may be seeing different things, that's entirely possible. I'm in Canada so maybe that is the case. At any rate mine says 570MB so I'm downloading it. About 45 minutes to go – which is better than the 3 hours Filefactory was going to take. Once it's done I'll give it a go and post whether it works or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, It took me three trys before I finally saw the file to download at the bottom of the page. Don't ask me how to do it since it would probably take another 3-4 attempts. Not a nice site. Anyways download speed for me at least was abysmal so I bailed and am sticking with Germany. Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganic Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Man, Filefactory is telling me I still need to wait 1350 seconds until I'm able to download unless I upgrade to their premium account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malingerer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Michael, look for a text link at the end of the process. It says something like this: Download with FileFactory Basic It is a really confusing site but the above instructions are spot on, I'm downloading the Mac version now, 323 of 622 MB @ 200 KB/sec 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh my god, even some stupid fansites which host mods and maps get it working to host a 500MB file on there own with good download speed (~300kbs). Whats the problem for Battlefront to do something similar ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yeah, the FileFactory apparently wants to confuse you into clicking on one of the many ads instead of actual link. Very annoying, but at least it's helping out at the moment. We don't host our own downloads any more because we've had bad experiences with you guys crashing our servers. Occasionally scaling up to handle hundreds of concurrent multi-hundred GB downloads is not something we can do. There will be more mirror sites live tomorrow, some of which are really fast. At the moment we're just dealing with what we've got. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgore Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Filefactory worked for me. It took about 40 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm dying, 1 hour 55 minutes at a blistering 40-90kbs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex J. Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well that is weird. The Worthplaying US mirror (which directs you to gamefront.com) worked for me once - I just installed and tried the demo I DL'd from there and it works – but when I tried it again just to make sure, all I got was the 364MB corrupt file again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ok, looks like i have to wait some hours...the worthplaying.com mirror (German) dont works for me and FileFactory looks a bit suspicious to me. Playing COTA while waiting, could be worse.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I got a good working copy from the German mirror but the US was corrupted (small file size gave it away.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldat-Hans Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The Filefactory download said 49 minutes left! Now they past! And? 26 minutes left! **** you file factory! When the file is ready to install, I can go to late shift! That sucks! Every time it is the same! You wanna play, the download speed is ****, or it doesnt load, or, or, or, or, or. Every time it is ready only, when you dont need to start anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldat-Hans Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ha, german download worked for me this time! I throw filefactory to Hell! it says 36 minutes, but it WERE 36 MINUTES AND NOT 3 HOURS IN THE END!

Zatoichi Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It appears that today I shall mostly be 'working from home'. And by 'working' I obviously mean 'working on my tactics'. Great stuff - only 25% left to go! At times like this I wish I'd installed a crank handle on the side of my monitor so I could fool myself into thinking that turning it would speed up the download. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user38 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 So I got home from work and what did I find? The postie had finally delivered my Zone Troopers DVD: So it looks like a won't have time to browse the forums and flame you guys tonight. Good luck with achieving a home/work/rabid fanboy balance (I've got more important things to do). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
