Gh0S7 5 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello to all the higher-ups @ WF. I've been away for a while and have recently returned. Life happened basically but I'm happy to know WF is still here! I have IDM as it makes downloading a bit easier for me... All settings are default right out of the box but it tried to download 2 of the same file I chose to get from this site and now, for some reason the file wasn't even retrieved and it tried to grab the same one twice. Now I'm unable to download anything more.... If I recall correctly I'm allowed 3 files per 24hrs but I can't remember lol Yesterday evening, I was able to grab IPS and one theme with no problem. Any idea how or why this happened? Would it be possible that you'd allow me to grab at least the carbon theme for IPS even though my limit has been reached? That's all I was trying to get this morning... If not, it's okay but I thought I'd mention it. The only thing I can think of is that maybe download managers like IDM conflict with sites similar to this one because of the download limitations that are set in place for its users. Thanks for all you guys do and I hope you, your family and friends stay safe and in good health as we are all going through a difficult time with this darn virus.

RitoshiX 4 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 it happens to me as well i think the problem is in the IDM and i'm a little bit confused because your rank is already Novice and Novice has 5 files downloads per day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense to me really. But yeah, so yesterday was my first day back at WF. I only grabbed IPS and one theme. This morning I tried for another theme and then the forum told me that my limit had been reached. I was unaware that a novice user gets 5 downloads per day but if that is the case then even the two that I didn't receive due to IDM, I would of had a total of 4 downloads and not 5.

RitoshiX 4 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I think there is an issue between IDM and webflake download limitation. Anyway lets wait for the staff so that they can explain clearly and hope this will be solved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tony 5,207 Posted March 31, 2020 Administrator Share Posted March 31, 2020 Each connection to download a file counts against your daily cap, which is why an IDM won't work here because it uses multiple simultaneous connections to expedite the download. Our bandwidth caps are quite low so there really isn't a need to attempt to circumvent them, benevolent or not. We don't do cap resets, provide files for you, or do anything in the way of fostering the continued use of an IDM with our system. If you're intent on using WebFlake, you'll need to disable your IDM while using our service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
