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.

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.
