~ Can't download? Now what does that mean? To me, it means that the link is not working. It shows an error message from the uploader. If your download stops halfway or you can't get the page or download to show but everyone else can (i.e. me) it's a problem with your computer, not with my links. So don't come whining about it to me, coz I'll say the same thing: Try downloading it again. Don't panic or throw a fit when you can't download immediately.

Tips to Downloading Split Files from Mediafire and Other Downloading Sites
~ Try different browsers. Different browsers have different saving methods. I recommend Mozilla Firefox - I rarely have problems with it.

~ Clear the cache and cookies of your browser.

~ Occasionally Mediafire will refresh the page instead of downloading the file. Wait before downloading again. This happens when you leave the window open for too long or your download fails.

~ Mediafire constantly refreshing instead of letting you download? Wait a while before trying again. Or clear your cache. Or try right-clicking to "Save As".

~ Right-click and choose "Save Link As" (Firefox) or "Save Target As" (Internet Explorer)

~ Try saving as "All files" in the type box.

~ Don't rename the file when you're saving it. Rename after download.

~ Make sure all the files are the right size. (FAQ #8)

~ Save all split files in the same folder.

~ Rename all split files by copying and pasting everything except for the last number of the file extension.

~ All split files should have the same icon - if not, check and change the file extension (FAQ #9)

> Go to "Start->Control Panel->Folder Options" or in Windows Explorer, "Tools->Folder Options".
> Click the tab that says "View"
> In the Advanced Settings box scroll down to "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck the box beside it.
> Click "Apply" and "OK".
> Rename your file.

~ Uninstall and reinstall hjsplit.

~ If all else fails, try downloading again. You may have a corrupted file.

~ Lately there seems to be some problems downloading certain files from Mediafire. It looks like there's something wrong with their servers, which I can't do much about. I suggest you use the alternative mirror links or wait for Mediafire to fix it. Update: it seems like it's fixed now. But please for future reference, don't panic or throw a fit when you can't download immediately. Just be patient and wait for it to be fixed, because most of the time it will be by the time you get back to it.

~ Can't see any video or hear any audio? Did you join with HJSplit? If you did, try downloading the file again. It may have been corrupted on the way.

~ Video shorter than you expected? Check the file sizes. They should all be the same except for the last one. The file size is also shown on the uploaded link. If they are correct, try downloading the file again. It may have been corrupted on the way.

*NEW* ~ Video or audio becomes corrupted after a certain point? Try downloading that section again or from that point onwards. You can also test which part is corrupted by joining up the first couple of parts and checking the video until you get to the corrupted part.

If you have a Mac, forget asking me. I can barely function on a Mac. The only things I know how to do on a Mac is eject my USB drive and Excel.

*NEW* Note that reuploading the same file from the same computer to MF doesn't do anything. They even give you the same link. That means there's no point asking me to reupload a file to MF if it works fine for everyone else except you.
