up-file guide

pockiok, this is for every time I get the question about how up-file works.
thought it would be as good to have a public LJ post with some info about it.
So, lets get started...
Attention!
up-file has changed but I haven't updated my guide. This shall be done eventually.
Firstly: up-file is very nice. It will store your files for eternity (I think XD) and has unlimited downloads. If it says that "This File delited for abuse" it means that the site is grumpy at the moment. The file is not "delited", it's like...comatosed for the moment. Try later (sometimes it works after one refresh, sometimes you need to wait longer)
About speed: most of the time up-file is pretty slow. That's just how it is. Although other times it's just as fast as any other host. Well well. I would highly recommend using a download manager. It will sometimes allow you to download several files from up-file (even if up-file itself doesn't want you to) and it also often accelerate. But the best thing with a manager is that it automatically resumes your download if you loose it due to for example unstable connection.
Up-file is a bit tricky the first time you use it. the download link is most of the time disguised.
The rest looks like a site-ad for Forex.
when following a link to a file uploaded to up-file.com the link will be in one of two places. I will show you both.
First the easy version where the download link is in red and right below the file information (which always is in the same place.)
Just click the red download link.
then we have the tricky, and most common, version:
The top will look like this
As you see there is no red download link.
Now, scroll down a bit until it looks like this
click the blue text saying "up-file all 4you" and the download should start.
lately up-file has added places for the link to be. It's still in the same part of the page but the link might be in the middle instead of on the right, and there can be all from one to five "ads".
Sometimes you will need to wait a little while. Then a little countdownclock will start (you will clearly see it, no need for screencap) and when the seconds are down to 0 the countdown will turn into a link. Just click that.
Any further questions? Don't hesitate to ask ^^
