Problems with Mediafire.





















Have you ever heard of Mediafire? If you are a software developer or if you have files that you want to share with friends you should have.

Mediafire is one of the larger file sharing and storage sites. And anyone can open a free account and upload their files and store them on the site for free. You can choose to make your files public so you can share them with friends. Or on your blog or website.Or private where only you have access.

And I have been using Mediafire for quite some time now. And a lot of my blog posts are about installing Windows XP and Windows Vista software on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

And so I use Mediafire to post links to my installer files that I have made, such as Windows Mail and other software from my computer. So that anybody who does not have Windows XP for example, can download the installer file onto their computer.As you cannot upload zip or exe files to your blog or website. But you can post download links to them.

Also you may want that old version of Aim Messenger for example, that they will no longer make in two months time. So you can download the zip or exe installer file and save it on a file sharing and storage site.And you can make it public or private. So if later on you want that file,you can just log into your account and download it.

But yesterday, when I went onto Mediafire and logged into my account.When I tried to download my files onto my computer, I could not.And this has been going on for over 24 hours now.

The Windows XP and screensavers will work on Windows 7,Windows Vista and Windows 8.And the Windows Vista screensavers will also work on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

The Windows XP screensavers are much better than the Windows 7 screensavers.And they have settings where you can customize the screensavers that are not in the Windows 7 screensavers. If you have a Windows XP computer you can install all of the Windows XP screensavers on Windows 7,Windows Vista and Windows 8. And also the two Windows Vista screensavers,Aurora and Windows Energy will work on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

The Sound Recorder on Windows XP has several features that have been removed from the new Sound Recorder on Windows Vista,Windows 7 and Windows 8.
