Resumable downloads now supported

We have now added support for resumable downloads to FileCentral. This means that you can resume a download that was interrupted for some reason, provided that the browser supports it.

If you are using Firefox there are multiple download manager plugins that can be used.

For Windows users we can also recommend FDM Lite, which is a free download manager that integrates with different browsers and works well with the updated FileCentral.

Multiple recipients can now be entered easily

The input field for recipient has been changed so that multiple recipients can be entered by separating them with space, comma (","), semicolon (";") or newline.

This makes it much easier to, for example, copy and paste addresses from other documents.

Firefox generates more than 50% of traffic

Today we are 19 days into December and so far over 50% of the traffic on FileCentral.se has been generated by Firefox browsers! For us that enjoys Firefox and its many useful plugins that improves both the browsing and web development experience this is indeed exciting information.

Top browsers:

• Firefox 50.3%
• Internet Explorer 36.7%
• Safari 10.1%
• Google Chrome 1.4%

Clearly our visitor base may not be representative for the internet community as a whole. We do have an unusually large portion of Mac/OSX users.

Operating systems:

• Windows 62.6%
• Macintosh 36.9%
• Linux 0.3%
  

More than 20 000 registered users

Now we have more than 20 000 users registered at FileCentral.se.

We have seen a slow and steady growth of our user base since FileCentral was launched in the summer of 2006 and while not aiming to maximize the number of users it is encouraging to see that so many appreciate and use our service.

Our main goal with FileCentral.se is to provide a tool that professional users find useful and therefore decide to upgrade to our commercial Business and Inbox accounts.

We send out an extra "Thanks!" to all our current customers with commercial accounts!
