Hifi engine

[east electronics]

I am having trouble with hifi engine

My account is fine i can download anything i want but if i do , it downloads fine and then is telling me that the pdf file i corrupted or damaged ..effective for any file

My boys in the shop tried from their own accounts , and from their own PC's ( though in the same network of the shop ) with the same result ...

Then again seemed that remember me button doesn't work for Hifiengine and every now and then you need to re login which is OK but in vinynengine that remember me function works perfectly i ma always logged in today i understood that my account went inactive since i haven't logged in for more than 3 years .

Am i missing something ? Google search seems to have no reports about this .
weird ?

Never had issue with corrupt files but that site has never remembered my login.

Downloaded today with no issues and it accepted my upload.

It's not the site, it's your PDF reader. New updates come out about every 45 minutes, and if you don't keep it updated you can't read half the files you download. My XP box gives me the same garbage - the files read fine on any other machine. But of course some of my old apps won't run on any other machine. Frustrating, but a sign of the times.

wg-sk that can be right we have tested with sumatra reader which is different than Adope Pdf so something is wrong here

Problem remains and this is the message i got today :
Sorry but the daily download quota has been reached for your IP address

Anyone can explain this that i found in the hifiengine forums ?

Due to an increase in the number of people using proxy services to abuse our free service and bypass download restrictions, we have changed our policy on these services.

As this abuse affects our ability to provide the service to legitimate users, any visitor detected to be using a proxy service to access the download server may have their account automatically removed from the system.

or this ?
The download script has been rewritten to reduce server load and improve the speed of the site for the majority of genuine visitors. Changes include:

(a) Restricted maximum number of download connections per file to prevent excessive load caused by visitors using download managers
(b) Variable download limits based on server load
(c) Improved detection of VPN/Proxy Servers (as used by bots/crawlers/site scrapers). No downloads are permitted from these connections. Due to abuse, use of a proxy server/VPN service to bypass site restrictions will lead to your account being automatically deleted without notice.
(d) Improved detection and blocking of visitors using more than one account to bypass download limits
(e) Reduced download limits for visitors on networks with high levels of abuse
(f) Download limits weighted according to member status/contribution level

What i think it is that in the shop we have 5 PC but actually the users my employees actually have their own accounts under their own name

So what i think it is has something to do with that Download restrictions

I am getting this message whenever I try to download a pdf file:

Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

The link you clicked may be broken or the page may have been removed.

Thanks to the shortage of IPv4 addresses, many big ISPs put everyone behind a big proxy, so these policies are totally broken.
My phone has a 10.x.y.z IP, so it is clearly being proxied.

My whole country is banned for download...I was banned litteraly just because i asked on their forum what happened.

I am having the same problem. I also cannot delete my account to try to make a new one.
Unfortunately, there are not contacts possible with their webmaster...perhaps someone has
or can make contact?

It's not the site, it's your PDF reader. ....

Hello.

I have the same problem, but I'm convinced that it's a problem on hifiengine site. I've the latest version of available Adobe Reader, and it works with all pdf documents coming from all other sources. Plus, I've seen that ALL the files downloaded from hifiengine have the same dimension of 126KB. I've searched a link for a contact with webmaster, but it's not available ("the site is provided as is").

Thank you
ciao
Marco

I've never had any issues with HFE and used it only the other day. All files vary in size and some can be several mb as expected.

I can still download with no problems and I am in the UK.

Adobe is Poor quality product (spare me) shouldn't be any news in that though
Suggest; Tracker Software's PDF Exchange viewer it's FREE and an Excellent program for PDF's

No problems here with Hifi Engine... viewing files works fine in both Adobe Reader and Chrome's inbuilt PDF reader
