What's happening to filefront?

Post by Delta-1035 »

Hi guys, I was just wondering what is happening to filefront.

I can't see any image and I can not download anything without getting an error: "file not found".

I've tried using firefox, chrome and also explorer but I get always this error.

Do you guys have this problem too?

ps: sorry, I didn't know where to post this, if I've choosen the wrong section, please move this topic.

Same for me, filefront banned half of the world. I guess Italy is banned too.

FF has really fallen off the wagon the last few years. Hosting sites are an utter mess.

Basically it's a web-browser built on Firefox that uses proxies to hide your location. It's legal, it's used by whistle-blowers for instance, and people who need to evade censorship laws.

In your case it should allow you to use Filefront. Just be patient, feeding data through several proxies takes time.

Not quite proxies, but rather a large number of anonymous Tor nodes in the cloud - oh, and it hides EVERYTHING, not just your location. ;)

Thanks but it requires Elite for virtual location, which is not free...

Keep obtaining a new identity (it changes your exit node and thus your IP) and trying to download until you get a country that's allowed.
