The new FileFactory is coming! Still #1 for unlimited downloads.
FileFactory is relaunching soon with a brand new layout, new features and exciting improvements. We've been hard at work developing a cleaner interface and better performance. Read below for a list of the major upgrades!

Awesome new layout - cleaner and faster

Brand new file search lets you find stuff to download
All files uploaded by free users will now become public and searchable for everyone. Upload and share anything for others to download.

Faster web uploader to make uploading easier

great, because I only like to use sites that have a new layout.
that's the most important thing to me and probably everyone else.

I mean who cares if they actually store any files or not, when you have a new layout.
There are only 10 kinds of people in this world,
those that understand binary and those that don't.

I like FF.
I note that files uploaded by 'FREE Users' (new Search File) will be available to everyone. I assume this does not include 'Premium' user files.

I think FileFactory is a pretty good site AS LONG AS you are downloading files from the users who have direct downloads enabled for free users. Otherwise you may constantly get the popup "all free slots are in use. Try again later." Also sometimes you may see a message stating that the file is too large for a free user to download. I believe the sign of a truly good host is one that is good to free users. Example; small wait between downloads, a decent download speed (not the 50kbps that many have). If the host isn't considerate of free users then it's nothing more than an online storage site and you can find lots of those that are free. You just can't join every filehost out there as those costs would add up pretty quickly and everyone seems to have different favorites. I like Megashares because they never seem delete any files regardless of what they are. Only problem with Megashares is free users can only download up to 550 MB and then must renew their passport to continue downloading. But the search is fantastic. Members get to search millions of files from all members. The download speed is very good too.

Free is always good but as the size of files gets larger then free does not always work.
There are a a couple of Hosts that have been very generous as of late and one in particular acts like a Premium site. You have to put up with a little inconvenience ie popups but I easily deal with that.
Some premium Hosts have daily limits.
Many sub to Premium sites. I do. I have gotten half prices deals from FF and will prob start one this Fall.ie One year. The key is to find sites that have a lot of FF files or whatever you whatever you prefer.
That fact that that we have been able to do what we do ie d/l is a gift. Many of us have seen some of the films that this world has to offer. Video stores and even online does not offer that. One day it might come crashing down.

New feature: image galleries

Post by Webscout » Fri Sep 27, 2013 8:35 am

New feature: image galleries


Now you can turn any folder URL into a gallery of images

At the top of folder pages, you'll notice a "Gallery" button. Simply click that link and you can view your folder as an image gallery.



There are three thumbnail sizes to choose from (small, medium and large). Hover over the thumbnail to get the filename of the image, or click the image to see a larger version.

Folder links are accessible via your File Manager. Click the name of the folder and at the top of the file list you'll see a URL which is the address of the folder.



We hope you enjoy this new feature, now available for all members!

1/2 price 1 year FF Deal

Post by Webscout » Fri Oct 18, 2013 12:53 pm

http://www.filefactory.com/premium/promo/

I received this half price promo...for one year. My promo was buy 1 yr get one year. I would have preferred the one yr deal as they often email these deals.

I don't know if the above will work or not.

I do not gain anything by sharing this info. It's a good Host.

FYI...
Coming soon: FileFactory News. Unlimited newsgroup access for only $15 a month.


What are newsgroups?

Newsgroups (also known as Usenet) are a worldwide distributed Internet discussion system. Users can read or post messages to a wide variety of newsgroup categories.

Newsgroups are typically accessed with newsreaders which are applications that allow users to read and reply to postings in newsgroups.

Binary newsgroups contain files that other users have uploaded. Binaries can be downloaded and uncompressed using a newsreader.

Typically information in binary newsgroups are retained for many years, amounting to many petabytes of storage.

FileFactory News provides unlimited access to newsgroup binaries. Even better we give you a free newsreader preconfigured to work with FileFactory News.


Unlimited transfers.

When we say unlimited we mean it. No daily or monthly limits on the amount of data you can transfer from our newsgroups.


Blazing speed.

We connect to major backbone providers and have no rate limits giving you the fastest possible newsgroup access.


Free newsreader.

Use our free app to search for and download files. It's got built-in search and many other features to make newsgroup access a breeze.

Every account includes free exclusive access to our custom made newsreader which makes finding and downloading files easy.


VIDEO PREVIEWS
A great way to save your time and bandwidth by making sure you’re getting the right video before you commit to downloading the whole thing.


AUTOMATIC DECOMPRESSION
Files are automatically decompressed when the download is complete, so you usually don’t have to unrar or unzip anything.


EASY TO SET UP
Just enter your FileFactory News username and password and you’re good to go. There’s nothing else to configure - you’re already connected to our newsgroup servers.


INTEGRATED SEARCH
Searching for newsgroup files has never been this easy. Search is fully integrated and built in to our newsreader.
