Fileserve now being filtered by the IWF proxy?

[SandyB]

I'm no longer able to use fileserve in a free, or paid capacity. I called Virgin about this and they said they've heard nothing else about it. I've checked around though and it's not just me. 

What's normally the script with this. Is it a temporary thing or is it permanent? I know the majority don't use these one-click file hosting sites legitimately, but I do, and it's currently interfering with my work.

Any suggestions?

By this you mean you can no longer access the site http://fileserve.com ?
If so its a DNS problem use another like 8.8.8.8

I am having this too!  Very frustrating as I have all of our security cameras upload to there!

No it's not a DNS issue. When attempting to download you now receive this error. 

I do have a premium account and it just logs me out now. I did a traceroute and it follows the same path as other filehosting sites.

the IWF just say checking

Have you considered setting up a VPN or FTP server yourself for doing file transfers? then rely on 3rd party hosts that get this checking done on them that stops you from downloading even on a premium account.

That is not the point at all.... Clearly we (Fileserve users) don't use Fileserve as a regular FTP, most Fileserve users are just consumers of uploaded content, mostly illegally shared content.

Yes, I am also having problems downloading from Fileserve and I am being showed this message. Out of interest: can you please state which connection speed your broadband service is. I'm would like to know if this affects all the packages or just the lower speed ones. I'm on 10mb.

I had this problem aswel. I managed to get my files via fileserve manager application and everything seems to be working fine with that.

I'm on XL (30mb).

I fully know thats not the point my point is setting up your own VPN or FTP server for doing file transfers that will let you have access to your content at any time.
