I know that it's probably not right, but if you click "repair your download" it generates a new key. Could it be that the key is only valid for one IP? I don't know much about how downloads work. You're still talking about your friend's computer, not anyone's. But yes, mediafire is known to redirect to the repair download page. This means you'll have to allow them to do that themselves, or you'll have to re-upload the file to generate a new "download link" file id , for your script.

The Overflow Blog. Who owns this outage? Building intelligent escalation chains for modern SRE. But there is a work around. Mediafire could be good but the upload and download rates make it basically unusable. I tried using them for 6 months, but gave up due to the slow data rates. I guess they have some severe bandwidth restrictions. For comparison, a folder with 4GB of data took over 24 hours to upload to MediaFire. On Google Drive, it took around 20 minutes.
The basic thing i went for this service my first cloud based backup storage was the price. The windows client is really simple — install, pick a folder and let the app to do all the necessary things. It did on almost all of my files, but not all, the key to what files get this behaviour and which not is completelly unknown to me.
But, if file timestamp is not an issue for you, than you might consider this as a no problem. The sync also meant all the problems described bellow to reappear again. What i found? That the app is reading my files in this way: It opens file at some current location, reads 12k B in one read, then performs another 4k read and then closes the file. And again, and again and again.
So instead of one long read, it does zillions of reads, with many reads needing a disk to seek. I dig into that a bit deeper, but only found a hint, that this constant bytes is from old microsoft windows phone 7. So you can see its database structure and data.
The minus is that every change on client is done via separate journal file. Just from this factor. On windows 10 you can clearly see this in your windows task manager, resp. Well not a good thing for SSD, but might not be inevitable with this technology Perhaps journaling into memory? The manifestation of the loop was simple: client showed 25k files to sync, then the number get lower a bit and then returned again to that same number. It went for days before i noticed, but GB were uplouded by that time and the counter was still the same.
I contacted the support, they gave me an advice to fully reset the client. The number went a bit down, but later the client was stucked again. So i went debugging their database and after some time i found about 30 files, that were already uplouded but the client tried to uploud them again and the service returned an error. I moved those files away, the client downloaded the data from cloud and everything was good. I mean slow. Unbearably slow. Seriously, if you want to work with your files through web interface, than look for another service.
The web interface is based probably on ajax calls, so you load the page, you see basic interface and then you wait for ajax calls to load the data from servers. I waited between 10 to 90 seconds for it to load the basic directory structure with 3 directories. I clicked on folder and waited again 10 to 90 seconds to load the contents of one of those directories. It depends probably on server load, how quickly it can process the requests, but sometimes, i just lost patience and closed the web after couple of minutes of waiting.
But usually you get on average 15 seconds response time for any operation. For me, this is really slow. Mediafire is quite reluctant to put any information about security on their website.
I consider this as a standard in security transparency by any of cloud storage service today. My final thoughts. If you are here for cheap solution and have large pile of data, this service can save you couple of bucks. My conclusion is, that it is better to pay the double for average service in cloud market nowadays and get more decent service than Mediafire.
Three days ago one of my files, showed into the web portal, was not accessible and not downloadable. Today, after three days, the file is not yet accessible. Very very poor service. MediaFire recently announced via a popup on the Windows desktop and a blog post that they are closing down support for their current desktop sync, and working on a new desktop sync app:.
I have a small question. I have downloaded the iOS version and I could not upload files from other apps. For example I want to upload a pdf book from Documents by Readdle this is impossible because Mediafire is not listed in the sharr menu. Is there any way that allows me to upload file from other apps to Mediafire? Thank you in advance! Users beware! Is MediaFire safe to use? Is it necessary for you to store files to MediaFire? This post from MiniTool shows these answers for you and shows you how to protect your files.
What is MediaFire? MediaFire is a file hosting service that utilizes the cloud, allowing users to store, share and download files. You can upload all the data to MediaFire. Upload multiple files at once - Upload hundreds or even thousands of files at once through any web browser, Android, Windows, iPhone, or iPad.
Easily share after uploading - MediaFire allows you to easily share via email, on your website, on social media, or anywhere with links. Manage with ease - Upload, copy, move and control access to files from anywhere using a desktop or mobile phone.
Step 3: Enter your account details and check the I agree to the terms of service box. After knowing some basic information about MediaFire, some people also concern about the safety of MediaFire and wonder whether it is safe to download from it. Most user reviews about MediaFire are positive, but it requires special attention to pop-up ads. Since Media Fire added advertisements and pop-up windows with links, these links redirect users to other websites.
Some users also think that MediaFire is likely to make money in this way since it has a free version and they think MediaFire might sell their data to Google. Besides, MediaFire does not provide any encryption for your files, even if end-to-end encryption is considered a standard for any file-sharing or cloud storage service.
This means that no measures have been taken to prevent attacks from destroying files in transit, and there is no protection for files when they are on the MediaFire server. Also, there is no two-factor authentication in MediaFire.
The only protection that MediaFire takes is to let you set a password for the shared link, and you must pay to access this feature. Is it safe to download from MediaFire?
When downloading programs from MediaFire, some users are also worried about potential viruses that may infect their device. MediaFire has some issues, but it also has some benefits. The positive side is that MediaFire does not claim ownership of the content you upload. It also has a good data retention strategy and deletes all user information 30 days after you cancel your account. If you want to use MediaFire to store your files, is there any way to safeguard or protect your files?
