3. File Download Questions
Which download accelerators can I use?
Any download tools for acceleration you can use.
I received a ChannelWe link and clicked on it, but I don't see a download link. Help!
If you don't have a premium account and the link you received is not a premium link, you first have to enter a five-letter code to identify yourself as a human being (we had to introduce this feature to combat robots that would otherwise use up too much of our bandwidth). If you cannot see the code, enable the loading of graphics and disable any ad blockers in your browser.
After you entered the code successfully, you will see a timer counting down to 0 (30 seconds for unregistered users, 15 seconds for registered free users). If you have Javascript disabled, you will see a message asking you to enable it instead.
I cannot download files at all! What is wrong?
If you do not have a ChannelWe Premium account, certain restrictions may prevent you from downloading: We do not allow more than one concurrent download per IP address and also limit the amount of data you can download from our servers within a certain timespan. If you share your IP address with other ChannelWe users (e.g. because your ISP uses proxies or NAT), you may be adversely affected by their activities.
I am not downloading/have not downloaded anything, but still get "Download limit exceeded". Why?
It is possible that someone else is already downloading from your IP or has exceeded your newly assigned IP's download quota in a previous session.
There are three ways to work around this issue:
| 1. |
You can try a different port. Some ISPs only enforce proxy use only for connections to port 80. We offer two alternate ports (800 and 1723) that you may try. This will never work if your ISP assigns private (10.*, 172.16-31.*, 192.168.*) IP addresses or uses NAT. |
| 2. |
You can ask your ISP to assign you a public IP address or switch to a different ISP. |
| 3. |
You can buy a premium account, which relieves you of all limitations and allows for unlimited parallel and batch downloads. |
I cannot open a downloaded file: I get asked for a password, a program to open the file with, or a missing "codec". Help!
Please ask the person you received the file link from for details about the file format, required codecs or passwords. We have no way of finding them out for you.
Can I browse your huge file archive?
No. Not everyone wants his files to be seen or downloaded by anyone. In order to protect privacy and copyrights, it is impossible to download files if you do not know the links. However, if you purchase a ChannelWe Premium Account we will give you access to our top100 public files.
Why is my download slow?
Depending on packet roundtrip time and packet loss to our servers, your downloads may be slow. This may also depend on the time of day, so trying again at a different time may solve your problem. .
4. Payments, Premium Accounts and Premium Links
What is the advantage of a ChannelWe Premium account?
You get a lot of extra features for a very small flat fee - starting at USD 4.99 a day: Highest download priority and bandwidth, unlimited downloading (no daily limits, no more annoying "Download limit exceeded" messages), no waiting before a download starts, direct downloads, access to files larger than 500 megabyes, unlimited lifetime of the files in your account throughout the validity period of your premium status, dramatically increased capacity of your file portfolio, and many more.
I have purchased a Premium Account via PayPal - why have I not received my account data yet?
As soon as you have paid for an account, PayPal informs us instantly that your money has arrived. We will then automatically send an e-mail to your primary PayPal e-mail address. Please check that e-mail account - including e-mail spam folders! If you really cannot find our e-mail, we are happy to resend it to you. Also note that certain types of payments (eCheques, and in rare cases also credit card payments) may take up to three days for validation purposes and to prevent fraud.
PayPal doesn't list my country or declines my credit card. What do I do?
Use our alternative payment provider, Alipay(TM).
I bought a ChannelWe Premium account, but my speed is still lower than my Internet connection's bandwidth?
If your ISP's connectivity to us (packet latency and loss rate) is bad, your transfer speed will suffer even if you have a premium account. In this case, using a download accelerator will speed up your download dramatically. Install Mega Manager and enjoy the ride!
What is a Lifetime Platinum account?
A lifetime platinum account is a premium account that never expires. You pay a one-time fee and enjoy the full range of premium benefits for the rest of your life. Lifetime Platinum accounts are personal, so you cannot include them in your inheritance!
This offering is one of the best deals in the industry and may not be available forever, so get yours now!
Why doesn't the system recognize my new ChannelWe Premium account?
Please make sure cookies are enabled in your browser. Also make sure you do not have any cookie blocking or surf protection tools installed. Some firewalls or proxies do this, too. You do not have to accept any cookies, but then you would have to reenter your login data for every file you want to download.
The system says that my account was blocked. Why?
We automatically monitor every account's activity to detect and disable leaked accounts. Please make sure that your account doesn't get into the hands of third parties - do not share it with anyone, not even with people you trust. ChannelWe staff will never ask you for your password. When entering your account, make sure that you're really on www.ChannelWe.com and not on some phishing site. Do not buy accounts from resellers (we don't have any) - they may be cheaper, but they won't last long, and you would have to buy a new one. Depending on the credit card the illegal reseller used to set up your account, you may also become subject to criminal investigation.
People who live in the same household may share a single account.
5. Online storage
I would like to store a remote file portfolio on your servers, What can you offer?
As a free user, you can store up to 15 GB of data in your account. The files will expire after 45 days of inactivity, but you can manually restart that period at any time. If you need more space and don't want to worry about file expiration, you can sign up for a ChannelWe Premium account. Files in a such an account will never expire as long as the premium status is active, and you can store up to 50 GB.
