You don't see/click the ads on their website if you use a download manager software so less potential revenue for them was my first thought, but I don't see any of them so... no idea.

Maybe the server gets too many request from download manager trying to download more files or updating remaining bandwidth because of the long 3 day refresh rate is pretty much all I can think of, but I doubt it would be that big of an issue.

They may just have switched to a new website framework and that's one of the default feature, might change in the coming days.

Would be nice if they told us what is actually happening these past couple of days.

Bug for JDownloader has been marked as resolved, but I'm getting empty pages, no captchas, no logins... Got to wait.

They just released(well, sometime in the past couple of hours) another update that actually fixes it.

Because robots automatically report a lot of the links posted here and filejoker(or any other host) has to comply and remove them.

That's why I use a 3rd party site to hide my links, that way they stay up for a long time.

Filejoker is one of the worst one click hosts I have ever used. This month is the first time I brought Premium membership and its definitely the last time. First the price is relatively high compared to other hosts like uploaded but
the speed aint there at all. I never download faster then 10mb/s while I can download at 20-35mb/s on other platforms. As that is not enough they also have this download restriction of 30gb per 3 days which isnt even mentioned when you buy premium.

I feel borderline scammed to be honest, if they had mentioned the limit I would never had made a premium account. I would rather donate money to Akiba then buy premium from filejoker if that means I can download from other hosts.

Thanks for your honest opinion. Information about download limit is mentioned on our ToS page and anyone can check it at any time. Also, most of our users don't use even this available traffic fully. Besides, you can ask support to reset that limit, if required.

If most of your users don't use this limit, then there is no reason to have such a small limit at all. You just made a case in point for having a limit more in line with other hosting solutions.

Oh come on, you know just as well as me that most people dont read any ToS for such services. You put it in their knowing most people wont read it because if you would put it right next to the price for everyone to see it would cost you customers.

This download limit serves as protection tool from various leechers, account sharers and various other cheaters. If you need this limit reset, you can always contact our support and they will happy to help.

You seem to imply that leechers, sharers and cheaters make up the bulk of your userbase. I'm not any of those things, and to be labelled as such, grouped them with and subsequently penalized because of it is just bad practice. Why not simply penalized users that do that, and leave more for the rest of us? How is it that nearly every other host in 2017 doesn't have this limit? If you can't afford the bandwidth, just say so, don't pretend this is about protecting users.

Dear MaxFJ,

I would like to have my download limit reset. (my username on Filejoker is 5861086078).

With the current limit I should be able to download 300~310 gig per month. But I download maybe 100 gig. And I want to do so in a few days. In about 90 minutes I have reached the limit and have to wait 3 days before I can continue. But by then most of the files are already deleted from your server(s) :(

So if you could please reset my limit (or keep the files long enough on your server(s), so I can download them, or best option, raise the limit).

TIA,
greetings,
Colweb
