[edit] Datacentre Location

The location of the datacentre in the article was recently changed from Los Angeles to Houston. I am under the impression that the datacentre is in LA and the management centre in Houstan. Can anyone shed light on this? RevenDS 18:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

They moved all of their equipment to a data center in Houston as of the end of April.

[edit] Citations

To me, it looks like the users suggesting statistics and 'opinions of many users' in the 'Criticisms' section are just disgruntled users. There are no references to any actual proof, and there is even a mention of 98% being the amount of time users get maintenance downtime errors. That's completely un-neutral.

[edit] Unencyclopedic Addition

• There has been some downtime lately (8th february)because of some database and server errors... The FileFront Network Sites are also not working correct but it will be fixed! The servers will be stable again!

Am I the only one who thinks that looks/sounds/flows in a very unprofessional and unencyclopedic way?

It is true that FileFront is facing some downtime (I can not go into details as the information I am aware of is protected by a nondisclosure agreement) but this could probably be worded a little better. Knippschild 05:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, that hardly sounds like an entry in the history books. To me, it sounds more like "Oopsie, we made a boo-boo, but wait - don't leave, we'll be back in a jiffy!". I've made an edit which is hopefully more suitable. Kouen 18:15, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo.filefront.gif

Image:Logo.filefront.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Financed?

How does this site stay in business? Its bandwidth usage has to be huge and since you don't have to pay for it, I don't know how it can survive just supported by ads. Anyone know? RobertM525 06:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

It makes money through advertisements both on the main site and on the network sites (which probably get more hits) and through its FastPass service, where people pay money for faster, dedicated servers to download from. RevenDS 20:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
