Interesting that NPR did a review on this somewhat obscure, but worthwhile, book.

I am currently in the same situation, except for the fact that I am not logged into my Flickr account on any other device. I can use the username retrieval system on Flickr to get my temporary Yahoo ID e-mailed to my associated e-mail account, but when I use this ID (which seems like a string of garbled text and numbers) to log into Flickr, it says that either the ID or my password is invalid.

I am assuming that the system thinks the ID is invalid because I know which password I used to sign up for Flickr. And when I’m trying to go the password reset route, I get told that I can’t reset my password online and that I have to contact customer care.

And so I have contacted the customer support team and currently I am awaiting anxiously a reply from them. They said it is going to take a while due to an abnormal inundation of customer care queries that they are receiving currently.

Luckily the stakes are not so high for me, though – I only had two photos on my account! I would have had a mini heart attack if I were in exactly your situation.

]]> Comment on MediaFire needs to get their shit together by Mediafire Series http://blog.eliduke.com/2009/07/01/mediafire-needs-to-get-their-shit-together/#comment-7150 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 20:51:00 +0000 http://elisfanclub.com/?p=816#comment-7150 Mediafire has upgraded to a 200 Mb limit, if you want anything bigger and you have the money to go pro, I’d suggest Fileserve.

If you can’t afford a premium account with Fileserve, why not try Megashares, they have a 10 Gb limit per file for free users (at the time I’m writing this).

I would like to say though that in my opinion Mediafire is quite good, especially where it concerns free users (and I would suggest you only use it as a free user). I’m going to sound like a marketer now but with a free account you get good download speeds and resume capability.

I’m going to use Fileserve as an example. Let’s say we are sharing a 3 Gb download with the world, we upload it to Fileserve and share the link, now many can’t download the file because of the size limit for free users, some cannot afford a premium account and others don’t have the means to pay for one.

If we split the file into 200 Mb parts and upload it to Fileserve, everyone can now download, but wait, they don’t offer resume capability or anything close to a good speed, wireless users with unreliable connections may be at 99% of a download only to see the connection drop meaning they have to start it all over again. That’s not only a waste of time but a waste of the bandwith cap most wireless users have.

Mediafire offers decent download speeds and resume capability at the cost of a small file limit. If it’s really that big of a problem, why not just get the popular open source software, jDownloader which will handle all 15 parts of your 3Gb file automatically.
