Folder not found error - fixed

[WSteward]

For everyone that was experiencing the 'folder cannot be found' error, this error should now be fixed and we thank you for your patience. There was a server side error that was causing the uploader to not function as intended.

If you continue to suffer from this issue (or have any other problem with our service), please post in the following forum:

Thanks.

All of the music on our website isn't working and all of our stored photos are broken or not being displayed. Is File Den down? :mad:

[TheDevilsTuna]

I'm still having problems over 36 hour since first reported. Is there any chance of anyone from FileDen
responding to these problems with an update and an expected time for a fix.
It's beginning to move from mildly annoying to exceptionally irritating.

[Puniksem]

I have notified admin who should get back to you soon...

Still no fix to this problem nearly three days since I first had problems. At what point do fileden consider providing refunds. I paid for the service so that I could post tracks on my blog which I'm not able to do and this is affecting the number of visitors. The most annoying and frustrating thing is that no-one seems to be doing anything to fix the problem. Apart from one comment on the forum that admin will contact me, since then nothing. The time is close when I'll be taking my business and money elsewhere.

[cod500]

Same here, this sux. I hope it is fixed soon.

[Unregistered]

My username is Grandam99, and I too, still have problems. It won't let me view or upload any files. It's been doing this since 2 nights ago, and still no luck. None of the files I have hosted show up on my site, only the errors, or won't open at all. I am a paying Premium member, and I think I should be getting the services that I am promised to get with that payed subscription, instead, Fileden has been on a rollercoaster of problems of late. I had the similar problem not too long ago, and a while back too, now, it won't even let me access anything. I host bunch of swf files and I cannot afford to lose them all, even for temporary. I hope they fix it A.S.A.P, for I do not want to leave Fileden, for I have not found any host that is as good as Fileden in terms of ease of use and flexibility. These problems will just eat away my peace of mind of my files being hosted.

PLEASE, get right on it and fix this problem. This really sux.

Thanx.

All efforts are being made to resolve this issue as soon as possible, Fileden apologise to all users who are experiencing this and similar issues.

[TheDonald]

@ beasly: I usually bypass that ..unless I reaaally feel like responding :D. Amazing how much time a few back-arrow+ refresh button maneuvers will save.

Anyway.. I've only been with fileden since 2007.. haven't really noticed any huge problems until now.

Apparently this has happened once before and it turned out fine, so I'm not worried.. even though I have some rare files of mine stored here.

When exactly will they be fixing the problem, this time, so I can access them [or so all my hotlinks refs will work] again? I got a bunch of mangled websites to stare helplessly at, now...

[Puniksem]

Thank you for your understanding I'm sure everything should be put right soon enough, I would like to remind you though that it's important to always keep backups of important files, especially files that are stored at on-line servers, I have 7.8gb of files stored on my diamond account.

[Puniksem]

There are many to choose from, for example just search Google for "free online storage"
But many of them do not allow direct linking of files and do not offer as wider range of file types. nor does one get as much bandwidth allowance as FileDen offers free users. Please be patient, these issues will be resolved as soon as possible.

(RedSnapper149) I've been without access of my files for 4 days now. My questions is... will my files be corrupted as a result of the breakdown of service? I truly enjoy using Fileden and would really like to stay here. I've been here for a couple of years now, and I've truly loved the service. However, I wonder with this incident, as well as the previous hacker that invaded this site, will it remain a quality site to remain a member? Are my files safe?

[Puniksem]

The file/folder structure of user accounts should remain completely unaffected by the server move, the file browser system is locked purely as a precautionary measure until completion.

So if some of our folders are still not accessible unlike the ones that got their accounts back, our files are not lost? I see some people with the accounts back, but they have no files.

[NerdCat]

I registered Fileden in 2006/11/24 so my files are all gone right???? Oh Noooooooooooo hopefully not because I have no backup files in my PC and I've stored everything in my folder. Can you recover my files please?
I trusted your site because of reliability and convenience that reasons makes me happy and love to stay here. Until 2 weeks ago I accessed my account as usual but it's not the same anymore. I've got this message....

"System Message

And I wrote emails to you for several times but there's no response and cannot access this forum too. I temporarily shut down my site because I don't want people to see that everything destroy T^T. Right now I still having problems hope you could help fix this problem very soon. Thanks for your kind.

please read the below document relating to your files/account and how it was affected by the issue, as your account was created in 2006, I'm sorry to say that NONE of your files are recoverable.

well mine are from 2006 asswell so i am out of the running aswell?

example of one of my selfmade flashclocks:
http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/30/194489/flashclocks/woodenclock1.swf


year says 2006 so i am a goner
can u delete my old seagal account, so i will make a new one right now

i try and make new account now cuase i need free storage please.

regards



seagal



edit: just tried to make a new free account, seagal64 but after i click the ok, the page went blank and nothing happens


is fileden that seriously down? too bad cuss i liked the free service alot and i have been a memeber since
the 30td of august, 2006, too bad all is gone now, even worse is that i dont get any response from noone over here, not even by mail.

and like u said yourself, it wont be easy to find a good decent free file host (photobucket has decreased his bandwidt and storage by 50% for free members so photobucket is not any of my favo free hosts anymore)

furthermore they offer their free service settings as there cheapest hostpackage can u believe that?
(what a way to make profit)

they used to give 1 GB storage and 25 GB bandwidth: they move that to 500MB storage and 10 GB bandwidth, which still is enough but its just a big shame that

now they offer that former FREE package as a paid package, i dont think thats the way to treat customers.

they should have increased the paid options instead of cheapily decreasing the FREE and offter that as paid
bad move from photobucket.

but i hope you can help me out and delete my old seagal and make a new free seagal for me and i would i be a very happy man :)

edit: just checked my mail again and saw a new mssg in the spam, so i checked and accidentaly yahoo dropped it in spam, i fixed it so it be in inbox from now on ;)

Then what about all the paying accounts for the premium fileden? The premium account links don't even say when the files were created/uploaded? just premium.fileden.com along that line. Are mine are the goners as well?

SOOOOOME service you have for your paying members. >:( I expected a lot more than that.

I certainly don't want to leave Fileden but you guys seems to just want to kick out all of us and close down. To me, it seems like you are making a cause on purpose to close down your service completely. To make your paying members leave on their own, until you have no-one remaining so you can shut down easily. Kind of like what Filelodge did a while back.

>:(


Please even TRY to fix it rather than saying those irresponsible, and ignorant message. I expected a LOT BETTER.

[Unregistered]

My old account is RedSnapper149. Can't access anything for almost a week. Realize that my 85 files are lost. So instead of waiting, I thought I'd start all over. So I set up for another account. However, when I try to access it, it tells me that I must activate. Filled in another email address and nothing is happening. I'm using a new name for the account and another email address. Why isn't it working? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or can anyone please tell me where another site is that will do what Fileden does! lol. So tired of reading this board and having no recovery with my files.... I mean they are lost! Gone! Dead! Finito!!! But I need to get started again, rather than cry the blues here!

Anyone have another site that is reliable?

To the person above me who were wonderring if there are other service that is reliable, I DID find one that is so far has been flawless, but I won't post the link here since the guys at Fileden may do something on them in retaliation. No, I am not going to leave Fileden just yet. Will wait and see what happens for a little bit. I am RE-Uploading the files I could find to there, and looking for ANOTHER service as a backup, but is unsuccessful.

So, please, at least TRY to fix the problems first rather than charging for the service, taking the money for nothing (Which you just did to me last night, charging me for the empty service) and just ignoring what your valuable members are entitled to. At least give us the SIGN that you are actually TRYING to fix it, rather than just toss out an irresponsible message that there's nothing you can do and hogging our hard earned dollar. Taking the free money without doing anything, treating your paying members as a pawn.

Thank You.

Any updates? I still can't access my files or upload new ones. Still getting billed though. The billing server seems to be humming along nicely.


Do I have to create a new account? Help! Please!

[Puniksem]

DO NOT create a new account it will only confuse things more, I suggest contacting admin directly and present your username, as there is a currently high volume of emails being received, there may be a delay in receiving a reply.

Any payments will likely be refunded once administration have cleared all back-logged messages.

[Puniksem]

Perhaps if you read some of the more recent posts on this forum you would have noticed that it's more than just 'closed of maintenance' issues that has resulted in a number of accounts becoming corrupted. If your account was regsitered in 2006, Jan 2009 or July 2009, then your acount may be one affected by this issue.

Fileden will contact all affected users, in due course, premium account holders will receive notification and possible compensation for loss of service.

[Puniksem]

The answer I have is NO I do not have an answer. Nor has admin been able to specify a time-line to me last time we talked, If I had a more accurate answer, don't you think I'd have given it to you by now...

I am also one of the affected 2006 Diamond premium account holders, I am also 100% sure ALL my 5.5Gb of files are not recoverable. However I did make recent and frequent backups of my files using my Premium FTP service. So my loss may not be as great as of those who didn't make backups.

[Rob The Knob]

There's still a problem with the uploader or the file browser (post upload). Everything I tried to upload yesterday and today has looked to have uploaded succesfully, but when I view the files in the FD browser, they show to be 0 bites. None of the files are accesible at all.

Also, I noted the bandwidth and storage space meter is not working. Could this be related?

My free space is over 50MB, and my bandwidth meter shows 0 of 5G.

[harmonicshadow]

Well I haven't logged in in a couple of weeks, until last night. And then I find this problem out. This looks like it has been going on for almost a month? I guess this will make transferring to another server easier for Fileden, since they'll have lost most of their users by the time it's all fixed. No estimation for when this issue will be resolved?

I mean besides when I finally decide to use a new hosting site...

[Unregistered]

ok, like everyone else knows, it seems to be pretty much over here and all my files are gone. the question I have is this,...what other file hosting/storage site can be used that's comparable to Fileden, as far as us using the URL for flash media players to be used on other sites? that's my main problem right now. please reply if you have any info.

[Puniksem]

I've never known any other site to offer the range of facilities and services as fileden. If you're looking for online storage, try searching for 'free online storage'

[ldycapri]

I have 2 accounts that I've been trying for months to log into, emailed about it and never received a response. I really liked using FileDen until this started happening. Why weren't I notified that there were problems? I can't even log in, no matter how many times I've tried, it keeps sending me to a marketing page with offers I'm not interested in, then after clicking continue it tells me I haven't logged in...repetively frustrating. I've received an expiry account email but if I can't log in...what happens then??? :confused: No crying smiley so I'll just roll eyes :rolleyes:

Fileden is very much online except for the unfortunate few that had accounts affected when the server crashed.

Users who are still receiving:

Unable to access user folder for {username}. This is a temporary error due to maintenance work, if this problem persists, please contact us.

This is an automatic switch generated as affected accounts are being scanned and worked on by an automated script.

If you consider that there are nearly three million users registered with FileDen, and only a small number of those accounts are actually affected, the fact that users are reporting it here makes it look like lots of accounts have issues. when this is actually not the case.

As to a completion date for the aforementioned work, it can't be answered by me at this time as the automated scripts are still restructuring affected accounts. As soon as I do have an answer, I will announce it on the forum.

You mentioned that your account was registered on Jan 24 2007, this to my knowledge is not in the affected account dates (2006, Jan 09 or July 09), and if you are receiving the above maintenance message, it's likely that your account is being checked, and service should return to normal after.

[Unregistered]

Thank You, Puniksem.
We will continue to wait. It's more sensible to stay with FileDEN than to move, if access will eventually be restored. Like many, we have access to Profile etc., and can log in without problems, but have no access to stored files or the like.

your files were possibly corrupted by the hardware failure and may be unrecoverable. However I was informed that the server technical team are now working to recover as many accounts as possible that were affected.

Please be patient, I have notified admin who in turn will check all reported accounts, thank you for informing us.

So does this mean there's a chance of getting the files back? I hope yes. My account name is darkdrium and I will now make backups incase the files get recovered. My account too has no files in it now.

[_OriginalSin_]

OK; so I can finally access my files folder, but ALL of my files are missing from the main folder (insert ferocious cussing and assorted blasphemies). There is one album alive, but the images in it are not visible, just those boxes with the dreaded red X'es.

I have no idea since when I've been registered, but 2006 is a strong probability. My username for Fileden is _OriginalSin_

I'm a highly polemical and ABSOLUTELY pissed off human being right now, so I believe I'll leave before I speak my mind. In the meantime if someone could be so kind as to recover my files, I'd be less pissed off and only somewhat appreciative, considering this never should have happened at all - the "sh** happens" way out doesn't and can't work for a file storage website, regardless of whether it's paid for or not.

I do sincerely thank Puniksem - who is obviously caught between a rock and a hard place - for the help he or she is trying to give to a huge quantity of very angry people. Thanks for the help, Puniksem!

[Puniksem]

Thank you for your kind words, yes some people don't appreciate I Have done this moderation voluntarily for three years now, and have had my fair share of abuse from disgruntled users, foot stomping babies to bombardment of my website and email inbox by one jerk. I take all the threats with a pinch of salt knowing that some people are just obnoxious spoilt brats, that whine and moan even when what they're getting is free. How many times have you heard that you'd be a fool not to make backups of anything valuable, I feel we have all learned a most valuable lesson.

I do have a heart and truly sympathise with everyone's losses, I too as a diamond customer lost more than 5Gb of files, many irreplaceable holiday photos.

I agree with you Puniksem, some people are mad and then they start saying harsh words.
I was upset to but i nevr go calling names and spamming someones mail or site.


Im happy my old seagal account(2006/8) is up again and i am now uploading the files again to my old account.



I wont login the seagal64 account i created a while ago when my account was said to be gone forever.


so the seagal64 account will expire soon i hope.


i am telling this again cause i dont want to be mistaken for a multi accounter ;)
i am now only using my old account wish i was able to use so well for the last 3 years.

as far as i noticed i you had only 1 big downtime long long ago(lightning had struck in your datacentre i believe, anyways that was the only time that you were down as far as i now)


As for free swf/file hosts, i have tried many many file hosts, and there are only 2 other file/swf hosts(iimho) that also have free and premium memberships, that are any good besides filedens.


So i hope FD has succeeded in getting his accounts back, thumbs up for FD:)

Thank you for your comments, feeling appreciated makes my 3 years here as a voluntary moderator well worth the considerable time I have given to this site,

I too was sadly affected by the issues and as a result have to reconstruct my FileDen account from scratch. I don't relish the task but was fortunate enough to have made frequent FTP backups of my file-sets.

Good luck with your account and have a good Christmas...:)

[Sonic65]

First of all, I appreciate all of the effort FileDen has taken in trying to recover their users' files.

I understand that my files themselves are corrupted beyond recovery (I registered 8/1/2006, account number 150488, according to my URLs, and am a free user; all my files are completely gone, according to my file listing page), but is the structure (filenames, folders) still recoverable? It would make it a lot easier to replace the many files I have in my account; I'm pretty sure I have all of the files I uploaded still on my hard drive. (I usually use this account for various links or images in online message boards, schoolwork, etc.) If it helps, I had all my files in one folder anyway.

Thanks in advance. Sorry if this question has already been answered.

[parkermauney]

Yeah all my files are gone too.

I have some good news for you, August 2006 is being restored as we speak, I've verified your account is actually in the files being restored!

[strideress]

I managed to log in today and sadly all my files are also gone. Any chance at least some of them are recoverable? My user name is: strideress

[Puniksem]

Thank you for informing us, we will look into it as soon as possible.

[bigreaper]

Same "...due to maintenance..." message for me when logged in. Account is bigreaper, no idea when I registered.

You registered on May 21st, 2006 which is unfortunately one of the months we are yet unable to recover

[darkdrium]

I see that fileden recovered the files.
This is fantastic. Thanks everyone from Fileden Team!

[Sonic65]

My files have also been recovered! Thank you so much, FileDen team!

[Unregistered]

Very Many Thanks FileDEN!
Our files are now up again and intact!
It's probably an understatement to say you likely pulled out all your hair attempting to get the service back online. We accept you did your best in a very difficult situation.
You asked us to be patient. Here, we accepted that and merely looked occasionally to see progress.
It's pleasant to see the dervice is back, up and Running.
Very Well Done.

NB

[Puniksem]

It's good to see users happy once again, I hope you have a trouble free experience now. If you do however have any problems, I will be more than happy to assist.

[Jud4shX]

Thanks for all the work you did to fix this issue!
Im so really happy now watchin all my files back :)

Thanks for that info. So does that mean "We just haven't gotten to it yet, but it's still in the queue to do" or more like "We can't find a backup tape with that data on it, so we're still searching for a way to get it restored"?

[Unregistered]

Ok My folder is back, but all files are gone. Very sad state of affairs....

[IIC17]

My Fileden username is IIC17.
I'm a new member; I registered right when ya'll were having the most trouble with the servers. I didn't know that when I registered, so I just decided to hang out and wait.

It says that everything's back online, but I still can't upload anything/access my folder because of a CHMODed error.

Should I delete my existing account and start a new one?
Or can ya'll fix it for me?

Thanks.

As we do not store backups it is a matter of attempting data recovery on failed, dead equipment. The particular storage array responsible for this data suffered massive corruption.

[seagal]

i just logged in my good old account seagal, and i see all my old folders and files restored?

thanx alot, although i was already happy enuff when my old account seagal was back and up again :)

My account aitza with registration date 2006/9/3 is still down with the chmod error

what confuse me is that even when my mp3 files stop streamig long ago when the error started, an applet on my web with class files on the same folder always worked, how come? o.o

because the applet still works I haven't lose hope with you guys, so here I am waiting anxiously for you to remove that chmod error from my account, ASAP, pleeaseeee

[johnnyorgan]

I'm really pleased that some people's accounts are up and running, but I still can't get into my files. It's still coming up the same messages. Does this confirm that my account is absolutely whacked? Or if I'm a little patient you will get round to restoring it eventually?

It's a free account and I understand that may be a little low priority wise, I'd just like to know if my files are completely gone or in the pipeline.

The files are back, the account is up and running.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the effort you put into restoring as much as possible.

All of your accounts were created in April of 2006, a month which we have been unable to recover.

Thanks,

I am a paying, premium member and I just got an E-mail that you have charged me again for the second time after the mishap happened. Yet, still nothing at all. Will the premium account be restored soon? or will only the free accounts be back? I still get the same error message, and still get broken image of the files that were hosted.

My username is Grandam99.

Thanx.


Grandam,

Unfortunately your account was registered in May 2006, one of the unrecoverable months. Please email our admin team to go over what we were offering for those impacted.

[bigreaper]

Ok My folder is back, but all files are gone. Very sad state of affairs....
After a few more days of waiting, I can also finally get back into my folders/directories (no "...due to maintenance..." message), but all of my files are still gone.

So, since I can see my actual folders now (well, none of the folders or sub-folders I created over the years are actually there, but I can at least see a blank account), I'm assuming I'm "done", as in "not going to get anything back and we've stopped trying, so here's your blank account back to start over", correct? Account bigreaper, May 2006 (see post #70 in this thread).

Unfortunately yes, anyone from the early part of 2006, we do not have any hope of recovering data for. We've done our best to this point and will continue to make attempts but we have about 1% confidence we can succeed with that effort

Grandam,

Then, you should at least give me a refund for the 2 months that you have charged me, so I can cancel and re-register, if that will re-enable my uploading privillage so I can turn back and re-use the service under a new name. I will gladly pay for the new name if you can GUARANTEE if all my files be safe forever, that is, ONLY IF the new account is fully working now. SOME backup system you have. I am REALLY disappointed in you.

Thanx.

[actionactioncut]

I'm getting this error when I try to access my files:

"Unable to access user folder for actionactioncut. This is a temporary error due to maintenance work, if this problem persists, please contact us."

And anything I've hotlinked doesn't work, obviously. I've only had my account for a couple of months.

Dear sir ,
For a long time there was a problem about not opening folder of files . Today i looked and saw that this problem is absent . But now another problem is here . I have free userships named bilgim , bilgim1 , bilgim2 , bilgim3 , bilgim4 , bilgim5 , bilgim6 , bilgim7 , bilgim8 , bilgim9 , bilgim10 , bilgim11 and bilgim12 . In bilgim12 there are some files . But the files i uploaded were absent . You deleted them . First i want to ask that why you deleted . Can ' t i do anything ? You told me about my accounts that they had been created on April 2006 and so you could not anything about them . Why ? Am not i a user ? And do not you give me a service ? Am not i important for you ? And i want to ask another thing : Why did not the service work and could not i enter into my files for a long time ? What is the matter ? You deleted lots of my files . What is the source of the problem ? I have to upload all my files again and why ? On my site lots of people download lots of files . Because of the problems they can ' t . Please help me and give me an answer . Thanks .

Is the admin even care about their E-mails? I have E-mailed them twice to cancel my premium membership with empty service(Due to their careless file lose) last month, and yet they NEVER got back to me, and they charged me AGAIN this month. This is ridiculous. I want my refund, and I want it NOW, some 4 months worth that is almost $40 of my hard earned money. I want out, and I want FULL Refund of all the empty service that I didn't get that I am entitled to for my paid subscription. I just cannot take chances with this unstable service, so I decided not to bother re-register.

Please, PLEASE, cancel my membership and issue a full refund ASAP.

My username is Grandam99 and my E-mail address is: mkwon15@comcast.net.

This is just absurd and ridiculous to pay for the empty service that LOST ALL of my precious datas and cannot recover. I have no more business with you, and since you NEVER reply to my E-mails, I have no other choice but to complain on this forum. To get re-paid for the wrongfully charged monthly fee for the service that I couldn't use.

Thank You.

Hello,

We have no recollection of any emails from you. Where did you send them to? The billing@fileden.com address is unmanned.

It's easy to cancel your subscription, unfortunately we cannot do it for you. You have to do it through the Paypal website, by logging into your Paypal account and cancelling your recurring subscription with us.

Kind regards,
The File Den Team.

hi! I get an error when i'm trying to access my files. 'Can't save, no file opened.' Kindly help to fix it.

[odan]

My upload folder is empty, there was approx 15 mp3s in there.

[Sticklady]

Please help. For the last 2 weeks I have had this message when I try to access my files:

System Message


Unable to access user folder for Sticklady. This is a temporary error due to maintenance work, if this problem persists, please contact us.

I have tried contacting you several times but my log in fails, am not sure why. So I am afraid my requests are not being received.

So, this problem seems to persist. At times I can actually get into my files page and then it shows empty. Last night, tho I actually did get a stream into Second Life for a little while but then the link was lost again apparently. So I think some of the songs may still be there. I had over 100 MP3s in my file. *Sigh* I would go about re-uploading them but I can't get past the error above, mostly. I need to know what to do.

Thank you for ANY help you can give me.

Hi,

I did find an issue with your account that would have prevented files from being served from one of the servers in the web cluster, that has been repaired and that error message will go away now. This would only happen if you connected to one of the servers, thus why you would see it come and go.

Thanks!

[Sticklady]

Well, now the error message is gone and I can see my folder, but all my mp3 files are gone!....over 100 and there is a jpg of a shirt there!?! Where did THAT come from and where did my music files go?!?

A picture of a shirt?....how bazaar!

Firstly your account was a free account which was inactive for more than 30 days.
As a result your files were removed from the Fileden server. Unfortunately those files are not recoverable. The image of the shirt was a test image placed in the folder and was merely not removed by the technicians after.

We apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused, but in future as a free account you must abide by our inactivity policy.

FILEDEN FREE ACCOUNTS IMPORTANT!
ALL FREE ACCOUNT MEMBERS ON FILEDEN PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AT LEAST ONCE IN EVERY THIRTY (30) DAYS TO PREVENT AN AUTOMATED FILE DELETION. YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS BY EMAIL (FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS) TO THE ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR REGISTRATION WARNING YOU OF THE IMPENDING ACTION.

NOTE: ONCE YOUR FILES HAVE DELETED, THEY ARE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM FILEDEN SERVERS, AND CANNOT BE RECOVERED.

[Sticklady]

I was not aware of the 30 day inactivity until recently when trying to resolve the original problem, and I read about it in FAQ. I feared that would be the case and was prepared to re-upload all my songs once I was sure the original error message thing was resolve. For the record tho, it states that I will be notified by email and warned prior to my files being deleted. I never received any such warnings.

[Puniksem]

Inactive for more than 30 days, then an automatic process sends the warnings. some email providers send fileden posts to the junk mail folder without notifying you.

Admin have informed me that it was due to inactivity in your case.

[Sticklady]

K, I have most of my files re-uploaded. I log on almost every day...LOL....just to be safe...Thanks again!

[riojazz]

Hello. I joined Fileden as a silver member on February 2, 2008. My username is riojazz

I noticed in December that there was a message that bandwidth was exceeded, and there were no files visible in my account.

I sent you a comment via your feedback that I doubted anyone was downloading anything, since I did not, and the files are accessed only through a passord-protected website. I did not receive a reply.

Now that a month has elapsed, past the date the site said the bandwidth would be reset, I find there are no files at all on my FileDen site.

Please check account riojazz and let me know if these files are permanently lost, and if so, please give me advice on canceling my account effective December when I reported the problem.

I hope the files can be restored and I can remain a customer.

Thank you.

Matt Finley
