Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)


Q1. Hello! I'm just wondering why I can't download from filedd... I tried many times, but I always get "403 forbidden." What does it mean?

A1. We are sorry we have tried downloading from filedd several times everyday, but can not duplicate "403 error".
"403 forbidden" means you are blocked by the firewall on their server. It usually happens when you visit the site too many times in a short time (e.g. you are using some download accelerator tools), or when the site is under DDos attack, the firewall will close all visits.
Usually it will last for only couple minutes.

BTW, When you report "403 forbidden." to us, some more details are appreciated:
1. the time you get this message: visiting the site webpage, after download countdown, or begin to download.
2. your Filedd user type: free, register or premium member.
3. your network: mobile, behind router, VPN, connecting directly to internet provider, dynamic IP.


Q2. I tried many times, but I don't receive the email to confirm my registration, what should I do to sign up?
1A. Please use gmail/hotmail/live free email services. We don't support yahoo, enterprise or ISP mailbox.
A2. We don't send confirmation emails temporarily. Your account will be created right after you submit your validated information.

Q3. How do I disable Windows Defender SmartScreen?
A3. To disable it, right-click the Start menu button and select Control Panel from the context menu. Then, with the category view enabled, navigate to System and Security > Security and Maintenance. Select Change Windows SmartScreen settings from the left-side pane.

Q4. How to disable SmartScreen Filter in Microsoft Edge
A4. Open Microsoft Edge.
Click the menu (...) button in the top-right corner.
Click on Settings.
Click the View advanced settings button.
Turn off the "Help protect me from malicious sites and downloads with SmartScreen Filter" toggle switch.


Q5. Which web browser do you recommend?

Q7. Why my antivirus reported [a file] has a trojan?
A7. Please provide your antivirus application name and trojan name first.
In most cases alarms are false positives.
You can extract the files by winrar or winzip after renaming extension from .cbr/.cbz to .rar/.zip and scan the image files instead.
The nfo files inside will trigger alarms. (Updated Sept 9, 2022)

Q8: Why do you replace single files with collected editions? Can you keep them as alternatives?
A8: Honestly, It's the most difficult decision we ever made to replace single files with collected editions.

First reason, We noticed that single files were almost ignored once TPBs were posted. There is not real free service, Filedd has to pay its bills. When we use too much drive space and bandwidth which cannot cover their cost, we will receive some suggestions to optimize our usage.

Second, our posters cannot afford to maintain too many refill requests, especially for single files.

Third, our original goal is to be a platform to share graphic novels. At least there are latest single issues links provided now. So please make use of them ASAP before being replaced.

Four, in our latest posting guide, we suggest posters to replace single files after the series is coucluded. But once replaced, single files wont be allowed to repost as duplicates.

Maybe in near future, things will be changed back/better.

Thanks for Kens*n, Artist*i and Mega*l's options.

Could you please use websites such as Google Drive or Mega instead of Data File?

Marceline,
Datafile is our long-term service provider. We don't have any plans to change it with another one.

Hi,

It's been a while since I saw some postings of the last Eerie/Creepy archives as well as the Chronicles of Conan. If you can post them that would be great. Thanks

Yes, if there is a Year Two, the other series would be complete, except in the case of the Archives. In addition, the Four Doctors Event is complete, as are the 8th & 9th Doctor series.

I have a premium account, but cannot login no more...
Each time i login to datafile, it states i'm a free user, if i refresh the main page or paste the download link, it gets to main page, stating i haven't login... that's weird!!!

rikbon,

You're better off asking datafile, then bookgn. They don't control the datafile site. I had a similar problem not long ago, but when I sent them an email, they responded and were able to fix my issue.

I'm not sure if there is where you can request things, and I'm not sure you even take requests.

In case you do, I was wondering if you had Berserk volumes 1-37

and Naruto volume 29-72 and the new Naruto The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet

Hello my friends.

First of all thanks a lot for your work here! I have found many beautiful comics and graphic novels!

I have a problem and I would appreciate any help. I try to download a specific comic from the datafile but due to its size (around 750 mb) the site doesnt give me permission because I am a free user. Is there any solution to that (apart from become premium user)??

Thanks in advance for your reply!!

You must contact Datafile as soon as possible. Their payment system is screwed up. I am supposed to have a Premium account with them but it won't go through. This has been going on for 2 months now. I've even tried to go through a reseller, and they are having the same problem.

And now I can't download a single file because their system thinks I'm downloading another file even though i'm not downloading anything. FIX THIS NOW!!!!

Finally got my premium key!
