Always on Thursday.What days they pay?
I contacted support about same problem.Many alive files cant download, DF servers offline sometime, really unstable last few days.
They haven't paid me yet.. I'm the only one?
initially I was thinking the same but this maybe about 95% true. few of my files with abnormal download counts (eg. 868 downloads) can be downloaded without error....
The randomly broken links can be detected by the number of downloads the file gets. If most files from a site are getting 100 downloads but one has 845 downloads, then that one is probably broken. I just add something to the file and then re-up them and they work fine. So I occasionally check my various folders and list the files by downloads. If something is absurdly high, I know I have a problem.
I think that the best method to know when a link is broken is when the users request for re-upload a dead file.initially I was thinking the same but this maybe about 95% true. few of my files with abnormal download counts (eg. 868 downloads) can be downloaded without error.
anyway I guess this is the only method we can identify this random broken files problem atm. hope someone will figure out more accurate method later.
