Zippyshare technobabble once again. :-)

Hey Folks,

We owe You some information about any issues with our website You might have encountered lately. We talk about the following:

– slow speeds on some of the servers

– long waiting time for the download to begin after the download button is clicked

– missing links after the upload process

All of this was an effect of a policy change on our hosters side. The changes prevented us from upgrading our infrastructure as we had to check for other offers. As we couldn’t add hardware for some time the load on our currenet servers peaked.

Good news is that we were able to get a good agreement for some decent new hardware from another hoster. We got the first batch just 2 days ago and started the migration of a few of the most loaded and failure prone servers. If everything goes as planned Zippyshare will be back to its usual top performance by the end of the month.

Keep You fingers crossed and give us some time to get the job done. :-)

Edit 14.10.2012: www7/8/9 – data migration process started – ETR: 96h or more

Edit 15.10.2012: www10/11/12 – data migration process started – ETR: 96h

Edit 16.10.2012: www21/22/23/24 – data migration process started – ETR: 96h

Edit 16.10.2012: www17/18/19/20 – 107 inodes to go – 1100 already checked – ETR: 24-48h + time needed to data migration (we will not risk losing any more data by putting the server online when we don’t know what caused data corruption in the first place – everything in megaCLI looks ok)

Edit 17.10.2012: An update about 7/8/9, 21/22/23/24 – the DNS entries have been altered to point to the new machines. Not all of the data has been migrated till now. This means that some of the data on the servers will be not accessible for some time. No we are not completly crazy I can assure You. :-) The old servers where overloaed and where down for about 50% of the time so we decided to move some data to a new machine, redirect the traffic and move the rest “in background”. For the next 48h You might encounter files which after download have 0kb size. Don’t worry the file hasn’t been migrated from the old server. Just try again in a few hours time. We do our best to keep it as comfortable for You guys as we can. It will still be a bumpy ride unfortunately.

Edit 18/19.10.2012: 17/18/19/20 – up! 7/8/9, 10/11/12, 21/22/23/24 – has been successfully migrated. We got the second batch of new servers.

Edit 20.10.2012: We just started moving data from 1/2/3, 4/5/6, 13/14/15/16, 17/18/19/20, 25/26/27/28.

Edit 21.10.2012: 17/18/19/20 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 25.10.2012: 13/14/15/16, 25/26/27/28 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 28.10.2012: 1/2, 5/6 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 29.10.2012: 3/4 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 01.11.2012: Some users reported problems with file downloads (incomplete downloads, connections drop, timeouts etc.)… we have reconfigured our servers a bit, please report us any issues You might encounter

Edit 7.11.2012: www3/4 still fsck (it’s not a bug it’s a feature) :-/

Edit 10.11.2012: We got the third (last one) batch of new servers. We just started moving data from:
www29/30/31/32, 33/34/35/36, 37/28/39/40, 41/42/43/44, 63/64 – only data migration – ETR: 96h
www65/66 – the DNS entries have been altered to point to the new machines. For the next 48h You might encounter files which after download have 0kb size. Don’t worry the file hasn’t been migrated from the old server. Just try again in a few hours time.

Edit 12.11.2012: 65/66 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 13.11.2012: www45/46/47/48/49/50/51/52 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 14.11.2012: www29/30/31/32, 33/34/35/36, 37/28/39/40, 41/42/43/44, 63/64 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 15.11.2012: Holly shit, reCaptcha everywhere… sorry folks, we are testing a theory about file downloads by some “automatic software” which cause very high load on our servers. We hope that the reCaptcha will be only a temporary solution.

Edit 20.11.2012: www3/4 – It’s Alive! 😀 No data lost, but it was a bit humiliating downtime for us. :/

Edit 30.11.2012: We just added another 10gbps to one of our aggregation switches to prevent congestion in peak hours. What this means for you? Better download speeds of course. :)

Edit 1.12.2012: www53/54/55/56/57 – has been successfully migrated.

Edit 9.12.2012: New servers added into load balancer, now, please give a warm welcome to www67/68/69/70/71/72/73/74… more to come. 😉

Edit 26.01.2013: New server added into load balancer, please give a warm welcome to www75/76

    Hey… Love zippyshare, But there is a recent problem where I go to the page of the zippyshare download… and when I click download it just refreshes the page again and the download pop up window does not come up (just the same page) Is there something I should get rid of on my computer to make it work properly?!? Sometimes (usually @night) I do it again with the same file… and it works. Don’t get it. Any help I’d appreciate greatly. Thankyou Z.S

    I keep getting the same problem as you guys. It just refreshes the page and no download window/link appears. Some of the links i tried were www18 www17 etc, which i thought had been succesfully migrated?

    O M G ! You guys are really the BEST.

    I recently today (very recently) were able to access a file (the page of the link) but could not download, after re-trying it failed loading the page at all, as some others apparently also experiencing. It kept doing that, no matter what I tried (because I always thought the problem was at my end). After about 15-20 minutes, page was suddenly loading up and the download worked flawlessly!

    First time I experienced a bit of the bumpy ride, but I needed to only wait maximum 30 minutes! Worth it !
    Server was: www32
    If others experience problem on this server, give it some time. These guys work as hard as they can!
    Res-pect.
    Thanks.

    thanks for the update.

    Also, those experiencing slow downloads please be smart and use a download accelerator such as IDM, jdownloader etc.

    Those that have problems when clicking download it’s an addon issue with the site, so far I get that if I use pop up blockers such as “ghostery” and sometimes with “adblock plus” too, so create exceptions for zippyshare or and then it should work.

    @johny sac
    Please be smart and realise that the slow download has something to do with Zippy servers/connection/hoster/migration/whatever, not with the users. Using download accelerator won’t help since the problem is at Zippy’s end. Waiting Zippy to fix the problem is the only way to solve it.

    Hello! I want to know to the admins that I can’t download any file of Zippyshare with the JDownloader. I don’t know if it’s a problem of the host or the program, and I want to note (don’t know if this was already told) that sometimes the download starts with 2kbps or less and I can’t download the file. Hope you can solve it!

    I’ve had 2 incomplete downloads yesterday, both files >100MB. No problems with smaller files.
    www1 and www3 cannot be accessed at this moment.

    Zippy uploader often crashes and doesn’t save the links then.
    Would it be a problem to have another policy on this in a future version of the Uploader. Maybe save every link directly after the upload in an own .txt-File and at the end save a summary of all links in an additional .txt-file?
    The uploader most of the time crashes with an “Socket error 10053″. This seems to be the case when the upload server hat a problem. It also occurs when my router has it’s every-24h-reset-of-connection.

    After a lot of patience I still have problems with many download links.
    It is impossible to download, and when it does work, it takes 3 years.

    I am looking for alternative site now.

    Goodbye Zippyshare :(

  56. Spike

    www1-4 still unreachable at this moment.
    There is another (little) problem since some days: special characters in file and folder names, like “ö” or “ä” etc. are not accepted any more. If there are older files with an “ö” this “ö” is kept only until you change the file/folder name.
    If you have a folder like “Köln” and change the name of this one it looks this way: “Köln”

    BTW: I have no problems like Aştî, the downloads are fast, although some servers have a longer reaction time (i.e. www41-44).
    In case of www41-44 it is 1-2 minutes to load the download page and another 1-2 minutes after clicking on “Download now” until you the the download window of your browser (tested at this moment with www41 and google chrome, but it’s the same with Firefox).

    I still have enough tea in the house 😉
    but the file I wanna have reaches it’s 30day-period shortly…

    and of course it would be interesting for me and probably for other users to know what the problem is and to know if we need to upload some files on www3/4 again…

  82. anon

    the main reason for your increasing popularity is the ease of use of this website.
    no premium, no speed limitations, no captchas, unlimited parallel downloads, only one click and you’re downloading.
    now you changed one of those points, by adding captchas and by adding registration, im suspecting you plan on changing other points too.
    you’re not doing yourself any favors here, by adding captchas, you’ll only drive people away from this site and to your competitors like xxx, yyy and zzz*, who refrain from using them.
    my advice, rethink your strategy or in all likely-hood you’ll see a significant loss in ad revenue.
    its your funeral

    *now that they lifted their restrictions, they’re quickly gaining in popularity again

    If your servers are overloaded and the captcha is th only solution (or the fastest) then use it because its needed to give a better service, but please dont add premium accounts or download speed limitations or a file download limit like waiting X time to download again. Please dont change for bad, your site is great!

    @jan: no probs here with the captcha. Only type the 2 words and click on Download. Do not use the ENTER-key! If you can’t read the 2 words you’ll get new word when clicking on Download. Done here several times and it always worked, as long as you type the right 2 words. If you make a mistake: no download.

    oh and sorting works in a strange way
    one click > sort by name
    next click > by date?
    again > random 😀

    other stuff, sorting or actually the order of the folders

    however the files inside the folders by file name

    Lots of files are disappearing and reappearing later in “main”. The last days these were all from www10 to 15.

    Must be a huge migrating so many files. Major Kudos to zippyshare for actually thinking of their users and keeping us apprised as to what is going and when it is happening. I don’t know of any other site that bothers.

    Hope the ReCaptcha disappears soon, it is such a pain in the ***!

    Current download speeds and page-load speeds for me are not so great, but I am happy to persevere as no doubt they will improve with all the new hardware. Not to say they are bad, just slow compared to what they used to be. Which means they are now ‘only’ as fast as the best of their competitors. lol.

    ZippyShare is still my favourite host.

    Is there a problem or a bug on www55?

    We have one file with 2 different www55-Links in 2 different folders.
    Both of them show incredible DLL-counts (4585 resp. 5974) but only 3 resp. 8 “Prev”-Counts.
    If you have a look on this file via the Stats-Button you see

    @ Spike,
    then i suggest you google the file name of that ‘incredible DLL-counts’ file
    and if you see it in google search then that is the reason…your file is just viewed, not only by humans
    there are sites collecting links, search engines , scripts, bots etc

    whatever(?) will acces the link is counted as a view…that’s my guess

    Reply ↓
  130. Spike

    no, kris. Must be another reason. Note: there are TWO different Links for the SAME file.
    And with both Links (files) the Previews are counted als “Downloads” – but only in the “your account”-View

    Hi I have been trying to download like 20 times and the page keeps refreshing but nothing happens! I am soooooooo frustrated!

    @jackie: wait for 48h and try again, this will help normally! And have a look on the number behind the www (i.e. www63.zippyshare…). Often all files with the same number will not work for some hours.

    There are still files disappearing and reappearing in the “main” folder of an account.
    Yesterday 4 files from www63/64, today 3 files from www47/63

    Hey Zippyshare Team! Thanks for your Service! I’m a active User since 2008 and I like the “Only-Free” way of thinking 😀

    But I uploaded a 2,3 GB splitted via a Kabel Deutschland connection (32 mbit) to your Servers. Now my partner sitting in Hamburg with a 100 mbit connection from Wilhelm Tel ISP. The download speed is nearly 30 kb/s per part what my partner makes a little bit frustrated 😀

    I’m looking forward that you the fix the handfull servers that run not at its best.

    The new Captcha idea is usefull in case of abusive downloading!

    Hi Werner, hi The Z-Team!
    I think it’s not (only?) a server problem. Yesterday I downloaded a 130MB-file with good speed in about 7 minutes with my 3Mbits-connection. A friend of mine downloaded the same file in Portugal with a 7Mbits-connection only 30 mins later – but only at a speed of 5kb/s!

    There are still files disappearing and reappearing under main: today 1 x www48, 2 x 63, 4 x 64.
    Interesting: www63/64 are always involved…

    again 23 files disappeared…
    another problem: exploding download numbers – but: WITHOUT relevant TRAFFIC!
    The number of downloads is 3 times as high as the number of views… how could this be?

    35 missed files reappeared tonight under “main”: 2 x www47, 6 x www52, 2 x www59, 13 x www63, 12 x www64
    Besides of Server 47/63/64 his time there were two “new” servers involved for the first time in the missing file problem: www52 and www59

    for example, use JD downloader, copy the link and create a DLC
    share the DLC, people who have the DLC can’t enter the download link as its encrypted…
    but they can download it
    i think that may answer your question

    as for the previous querry about the views…i got few files with a number of view @ 30 000
    again, i think thats a server bot, some collecting software

    Please fix the avatars. Something goes wrong when uploading an avatar and the picture can not be shown on the profile page. this should be pretty easy to fix.

    Is it just me or when I try to download something , the download speed starts off with a high download rate then it alternates from high to low , after a few seconds , the download speed just stops abruptly and hangs there leaving the download file to fail …..

    Is it a server problem or something ??

    Edit by admin:
    It’s probably some kind of connectivity problems to Malaysia. Sorry, but we are unable to help You with that. :-(

    Really painful DL speeds from your www9 and www10 servers. About 20kbps, LOL. No, don’t think everything can be explained as “router / ISP / connection issues”, because every other service works flawlessly. Never happened with Mediafire (your closest model) for all the years I used it…

    www9/10 looks ok from here (we can easily max out our office connection)

    I don’t know what had happened but Zippy didn’t work well this past two days for me. it worked absolutely okay when I used it in saturday. but since yesterday the download process is so slow and then stopped before it’s completed. I tried the other download site and it’s okay.

    Hi,

    Is there a problem with some of the servers Zippy? When I click on “Download”, the page just refreshes itself – I had the same issue last year when it went down…

    Any news would be (As always) much appreciated.

    Cheers guys!

    I Love zippyshare, But there is a recent problem where I go to the page of the zippyshare download and when I click download it just refreshes the page again and the download pop up window does not come up (just the same page) Is there something I should get rid of on my computer to make it work properly?!? Sometimes (usually @night) I do it again with the same file and it works. Dont get it. Any help I’d appreciate greatly. Thankyou Z.S

    Hi ZS Team,

    Hope all of you are fine. My concern is about downloading file. As a matter of fact, nothing happens after my clicking on the download button. At the begining, i sometimes had to wait a long time before the download begin after the download button is clicked. Now nothing happens anymore Is it a general case or am i the only one to experience this? You guys are doing a great job and i know you will sort out this issue.

    Peace,

    Greetings, Zippy Team!

    These past few days have been annoying! The reCaptcha simply doesn’t work. Two recently uploaded files are unavailable to me. One is located on http://www.55 the other on http://www.72. I browse through the captcha’s until I’m 100% sure I know what I’m seeing, I input it, and click the “Download Now” button. Then the page starts reloading, nothing happens and the Captcha re-appears. I’ve tried this over a dozen times per link, I believe it’s impossible I got the letters wrong EVERY time. This means that there is a serious problem with this method – if the server load has decreased, it’s because many people are unable to download things properly. Please look into it, I would hate to see Zippy turn into one of the many filesharing sites…

    Regards,

    Matt.

    Edit by admin:
    I just tested both servers (55 and 72) and captcha work as it should (Win7 64bit/FF21).

    I’m using a Samsung J3 Emerge with the Zippyshare app, but this problem also occurs when I go to the website as well:upon clicking Downnload Now, I am continuously redirected to ads, and most often times it even opens my browser up for even more ads. This ìs very frustrating and I am unable to ise zippyshare in any way as my phone is my only means. I’ve done some research and it sppears that I am not the only one encountering this issue. I use the opera mini beta browser when i go to the actual site but this also happens within the app itself. Please resolve this issue or email me explaining what i can do on my end to fix it. Thank you for your time.
