hotfile 503 error - can뭪 download anything!

Hi all-I뭢 having a hell of job to download anything from hotfile (despite being a paid-up Premium member.) I keep getting a ?03 - Service Not Available?message.I used to use Speed Downloaded on my Mac to queue up downloads and let it run overnight, and I뭗 have a nice little collection of movies to watch the next day. But the only way I can get hotfiles to download at the moment is to copy the url into my browser address bar; it will then start to download. Once it has finished, if I wait about 30 secs I can copy and paste the next url into my brower and so on.I뭭e tried different browsers in case it was some kind of cookie problem; and I can뭪 even visit their site for help, as I get a 503 error when i visit their homepage!Anyone got any ideas please!?Did you try to delete your cookies, logging out then relogging, or maybe flush your dns cache?Hi- Yup, I’ve deleted all the ‘hotfile’ cookies and cleared out my caches.The ‘503 error’ thing seems to have gone now. (odd). But I still can’t use Speed Downloader to queue up downloads. So I’m guessing it’s more of a SD problem than a Safari/Mac problem.Does anyone else here use Speed Downloader on a Mac? Or is there another good downloading program for Mac I could try?Ta!Try jdownloader, it's also available on Mac.I guess HF its blocking the downloads certain times in X country's cause the same is happening where i live.Even using jdownloader, maybe using a proxy to the US we can skip that issue.
