================================================== ==

Clubbox Explained
Clubbox is a free service which allow users to upload and download files off their server. The Server however is in Korean which makes it difficult for non-korean speaking users to understand which is one of the reasons why we no longer are using it. It is still however a great resource for downloading files.

Clubbox has a bit of a complicated system. Users can sign up for free and you start as a Silver status clubbox. As a silver status clubbox the owner is given 100gb of free space, with no limit on filesizes. However the file will be deleted in 10 days if it is not downloaded 10 times or more, after which point the counter is reset and the file must be downloaded 10 times again in order to stay on the clubbox.

Clubbox then has a point system, which is determined basically by the amount of activity on the clubbox by both the uploader/uploaders and those who download from it. There is a monthly check for the clubbox's activity. If activity is too low, the clubbox will be downgraded to a Bronze clubbox. Average activity will leave the clubbox at Silver status. However if there is an extremely large amount of activity it will be upgraded to a gold status. Here is a breakdown of the status and what they get

Status :: GB of space :: File Expiration :: Uploading Capability
[Gold] :: 200GB :: Unlimited :: Yes
[Silver] :: 100GB :: 10 Days unless downloaded 10 times :: Yes
:: 100GB :: 10 Days unless downloaded 10 times :: No

As for finding clubbox files to download, you just need to surf around (your best bet is other forums like Solid07 which are mostly Korean Music oriented) and find the links there. You do not need an account to download and the speeds are relatively decent, depending on what time of day you are downloading. The fastest I have ever seen it download is 65KB/sec.


================================================== ==

How to Download with Clubbox

Downloading from Clubbox works ONLY in INTERNET EXPLORER. I have confirmed that FireFox and Opera do NOT work and assume other internet browsers will not work either.



Download the Clubbox downloading program here (http://www.clubbox.co.kr/neo.fld/ClubboxSetup.exe) and install it.


Go to the clubbox page you wish to download from. It should take you to a page that looks similar to this.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep01.jpg


(1) Check off the boxes which correspond to the item you want to download.
(2) Click the light blue "download" button (black text was inserted by me to help you find it)
<Note: the "quick download" button is for people with accounts that have bought quick download priveledges>
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep02.jpg


A new window will open up. If it looks like this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep03a.jpg
Then you have a problem (Please refer to the FAQ below)

If it looks like this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep05.jpg
Then you are good to go. Just click the button in red to confirm.


Now if you installed the program from step 1 correctly, this window should dissappear on its own very quickly, (at most 5 seconds) if it stays there, you need to activate Active-X. Just click on that "Active-X Control" bar that appears and then just click on "install" and then you will get that "Yes and No" pop-up, just click on "YES". Then download what exe file from the next pop up window. (Please check the FAQ below if this does not help)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep06a.jpg


At this point the Clubbox Downloading Program will pop up. It should look like this.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep06.jpg
The first time a window will pop up asking you where you want your downloads to be stored. You can change this in the future by click on the "Option" tab and changing the "Down folder."

The Downloads will always start as "waiting." Just simply click start download on the first one and it will begin. I would recommend downloading only one at a time. The following Downloads will begin as soon as the last one is finished.


Most of the interface is in english now, so hopefully it will be easier to figure out.

[B]FAQ

Q: I am getting this screen even after I downloaded the program and I dont know what to do.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep03a.jpg
A: Ok apparently in the past clubbox had lots of problems of incomplete or corrupted installations. So even if you think you installed the program correctly, it may not have done so. I believe recently the problem has been addressed and it isn't happening as much as before, but it still might occur. This is what you need to do. Find your clubbox folder and Delete "clubbox.exe" If you are not sure where it is, you can always go Start>Search and look for it that way. Then click that button with the down arrow and the computer to try re-installing. If that doesnt work you can try re-intalling it from the link here (http://www.clubbox.co.kr/neo.fld/ClubboxSetup.exe).

If this does not change anything or you are sure that it is installed properly, try pressing F5 a few times to refresh the window. It should work after a few tries. Ctrl+N also works (the shortkey for "Open in a new window" this works usually as well. Once the DL starts you can just close all windows.


Q: When a new window is suppose to pop-up, nothing happens?
A: It is very possible that you have a pop-up blocker which is preventing Clubbox from opening a new window. If it is the Pop-up blocker that is integrated into Internet Explore, you can click the little bar that appears under the URL Address bar on top of ur window to change ur settings or go to Tools>Internet Options>Privacy and uncheck Pop-up blcoker. If your pop-up blocker is from a different program, go into that program's setting and either disable it or change their settings.


Q: I keep getting this window when I try to download, but I already enabled Active-X
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep06a.jpg
A: This is one of the most infamous problems with Clubbox. Truthfully, I have not found a solid solution for it, as it is technically a random glitch I guess that comes up from time to time. Refresh the window by pressing the F5 button (the hotkey for Refesh) a few times. It should work after that. Ctrl+N also works (the shortkey for "Open in a new window" this works usually as well. Once the DL starts you can just close all windows.

Another trick you can do is right clicking on the white space (or anywhere there is nothing) and going to encoding > Korean. THis may solve your problem as well. <Thanks to Jessica for this tip ^^>


Q: I started a download, but its still at 0KB/sec. Why is it not starting?
A: Usually, especially during the busy times, it takes 1-2 minutes (literally) to get the download to begin. If it doesnt start after a few minutes, close clubbox and try again.


Q: What is the Mileage thing?
A: Clubbox basically counts how long u have been using the program. For every hour u have the program running, you get 10 mileage points. After you acculumlate enough points, you can get coupons to get the "quick downloads." I think 1000 mileage points will get you a 2gb quick download which means you can download up to 2gigs at high speeds and you have 5 days I believe to use it up in. You can only accumulate points if you are a registered user and are logged in.


Q: Do we have to sign up for an account or do we need a pin number?
A: No you don't. Before you needed a Pin number in order to download, however that has been apparently phases out. We however would like you to sign in when you with once of the set up accounts so that we can get traffic from signed in members. It takes 2 seconds literally, so please help us out so we can keep bringing you great albums and videos ^^


Q: My download just randomly stopped half way. What should I do?
A: Try pausing and then restarting the download. This is very rare. Just be patient, sometime clubbox can be a bit slow.

Q: Can we resume our downloads?
A: Yes you can, just make sure you use the same link as before and that the folder you are downloading it to has not changed. The file should resume from the last point where you left off.

Q: How do I collect the mileage points that I have accumulated in my clubbox account?
A: See wackycashew's post with detailed explanations here (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showpost.php?p=553901&postcount=102).

you're sooo awesome for doing this, alby. :hugz: it's very helpful for those who don't know how to use it. thanks for putting up such a detailed tutorial. :yeah:

[.sweetT.]

i pressed the triangle button to start dl but the file paused by itself...do you know why?

[JianDan[Ai]]

i pressed the triangle button to start dl but the file paused by itself...do you know why?


Hmm, im not sure, did u try starting it again? If that doesnt work, u can also try right clicking the file and select "Download File" Make sure ur not doing "Quick Download" as well, that requires membership and that costs money =/

Also remember its best only to download one at a time. Its most effiecent that way.

[wackycashew]

I think you're only allowed to download one file at time, right? Even if you click more, they'll all be just pending on the downloads list. And yes, don't forget to right-click on the file to select "Download File" to get it started. Be patient if it doesn't start right away since loading time can vary.

Thanks for adding the mileage explanation, Alby. =)

[Shanhaigirl]

Thanx Alby for all this explanation! :-)

when i first downloaded clubbox, i followed all of the instructions, but after i chose the file and clicked the download button, nothing would happen, the clubbox download window wouldn't pop up no matter what i did.
then i found out that for XP users sometimes you have to click CTRL+N on the download window and then it starts working.

well, that's in case anyone runs across the same problem.

[JianDan[Ai]]

Haha yea, I saw stuff about that too Patya. I thought u just might wanna know tho, F5 does the same thing (refresh command) its one less button to remember :rolleyes:

[nevets1219]

For Yahoo, speeds for downloading were relatively slow. What kinda speed are you guys seeing (avg, best) and I assume everything is free. Does signing up for one require a KSSN (like many Korean sites do)? Thanks for testing out new ways of filesharing

[JianDan[Ai]]

It wouldnt be logical to use a site that requires people to sign up with a kssn now is it? Besides, if u look at the instructions, u dont need to sign up for anything.

And Ive been seen it go as fast as 50kb/sec, although I would say average is around 20-25ish. Just like any other server it depends on how busy it is.

[nevets1219]

It is possible to get Active-X working on FF. Though I don't know if it will apply for this. This site (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player) tells you about getting it to work. I've gotten it to play WMP stuff. But I don't know how much of it will apply for this. I will try to test it out with FF if anyone is interested.

Ok, I see now. Thanks!

EDIT: Is it ok if I upload stuff?

[Onigiri]

Thanks for this guide to Clubbox JianDan[Ai]!!
I've been using Clubbox for downloading before, but your guide is so much more detailed! Some things I notice about Clubbox is that everything you enqueue for download, you should hope that you want it to finish by the end of your session. What I mean is that if you restart your computer while a file is halfway through downloading, Clubbox will wipe the files from the list and you will have to enqueue the downloads again.
Another thing, when you click the pink triangle button on the Clubbox interface it starts your download, right? Well if you want to enqueue another file for download, you need to do that before you click the pink triangle button or put your downloads on pause.
These are just a few things I've noticed I'm not sure if they're really the case because I've tried avoiding these issues from happening to me again.

[sweetie_pie337]

Im sorry.. but Im kind of confused here. Im at Step 6, I believe. And you state that there should be an Active X control that pops up, if that window doesn't disappear. I don't see that Active X control.

EDIT: Nevermind I solved my problem.

[JianDan[Ai]]

Alright, I apologize I cant get a screenshot of that, since I already have it all set up on my computer, however it is a yellowish/whitish bar will appear on top of the window. (the same bar that blocks pop ups or downloads sometimes)

If you don't see this, that probably means that Clubbox is being funky like it likes to be sometimes and u should try 2 things. Firsh press F5 (the hotkey for Refresh) a couple times and if it works, that window will eventually dissappear, and you will being the download (this has worked for many people)

If that doesnt work, I would try uninstalling the program, and try installing again.

I hope that helps ^^ post back in here if the problem continues ^^;;

[candy311]

i need help... i can't seem to install it the program ><

[JianDan[Ai]]

i need help... i can't seem to install it the program ><

Care to explain the problem? Just download the .exe file from the link and either save it onto ur computer and run it from there or just open it on the spot.

Then when u install, I know its in korean, click the only button on the first screen, and then just check the checkbox to confirm u agree with the terms and then click the button on the left of the 2 buttons. Then it will install. Click that same button again to finish and close the window. Its very simple, the exact same as any other program -_-

[Katie23]

And yes, don't forget to right-click on the file to select "Download File" to get it started.

Haha, it 'only' took me five minutes to figure this out :shifty:

Oh, little question, those IDs and passwords are different for the days of the week, but in some countries, it's still Friday (here, it's now Saturday)...do we have to use the day we live in at that moment, or do we have to use like USA time?

edit: I like the album of Rie Fu!!! Thanks!

[JianDan[Ai]]

That doesnt really matter. Truth is you can use any ID at any time. The only reason for making so many is this way we can "increase the traffic" to the clubbox. If we can get enough traffic, we will eventuall be able to be upgraded to a gold status which means we get infinite space and the files are permanent. I would probably have gotten enough mileage points to start giving out Quick Download coupons. But for the time being, it is too much of a hassle to ask everyone to make their own accounts to download since the site is in korean, so I made a few for you guys to use. ^^

[memei]

i reinstalled the program after i kept getting that popup page from FAQ Q1. but it still comes after i have installed it again....any way for me to fix this??

[JianDan[Ai]]

Hmmm, try click on the button on that screen, the one with the down arrow and the computer picture and Click Yes like it shows. Let me know what that does. (Sorry it's hard for me to troubleshoot as I already have the program installed on my comp >< )

[memei]

i clicked the down arrow button and it just leads me to download the setup again. i do it, but still nothing....T_T

[coldmetaljay]

JDA! Thanks for the detail explanation and giving us another option for uploading/downloading files. :flowers:

clubbox download window wouldn't pop up no matter what i did.
then i found out that for XP users sometimes you have to click CTRL+N on the download window and then it starts working.

Oh Patya!! Thanks for the tip!!! I am having the same problem and I try so many times that I nearly give up!! Thanks for this tip that I manage to see the download window now!! :happy:
Next time I will use F5 - Refresh to see if it works too!! :)

[pamujung]

Thanks Alby for the explanation how to use it, I wanna try to use it many times but really confused with Korean :oops:

Anyway I also have the same problem as sweetie_pie337 but didn't see the way to solve it after did refresh it or re-install the program *sigh* I don't find that Active X control bar anyway.

sorry for this silly question.

[JianDan[Ai]]

i clicked the down arrow button and it just leads me to download the setup again. i do it, but still nothing....T_T


Hmm, thats confusing then. Did u wait like maybe 10 seconds to see if it dissappeared? Sometimes it does take a while.

You can also try the F5 trick. (F5 is the shortcut for refresh) Refresh it a few times and it will probably work ^^

Step 3
Ok, before you download, please log in so that our clubbox can accumlate points towards getting gold membership.

Please sign in with the account corresponding to the day of the week
On Monday, please sign in as jcnet01
On Tuesday, please sign in as jcnet02
On Wednesday, please sign in as jcnet03
On Thrusday, please sign in as jcnet04
On Friday, please sign in as jcnet05
On Saturday, please sign in as jcnet06
On Sunday, please sign in as jcnet07

PW for all accounts: jaychou

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/signinclubbox.jpg

<I will change these accounts from time to time, so check back here>

The reason for multiple accounts is so that we can have logged traffic from many users. If you have your own account, go ahead and use it by all means. Once we get upgraded to Gold membership, you won't have to do this anymore.






you have to take into account the global time differences.it might not be that accurate to have 7 accounts.Why not standardize to become one? :wink2:

[JianDan[Ai]]

As i mentioned before, it really doesnt matter. The only point is to make it seem like we have lots of ppl downloading from us. What account use really doesnt matter, but it doesnt help as much if everyone downloads of jcnet01 if u know what I mean. =/

[FlaMeBoIz]

when i press the dl button... the pop-up with a list of file i wanted to dl comes up.. but after i press the 'confirm dl button' i was brought to the activeX link again.. wad happens

[JianDan[Ai]]

As I have told everyone else, Try refreshing. Press F5 (the hotkey for refresh) a few times on that page and it should eventually work.


-edit-
Ok i have updated the FAQ on this issue, and it should be quite clear now what to do as I have mentioned to do the refresh trick several times now. If anyone asks me about this without obviously having tried refreshing a few times after this point will not be on my good side (which means ur probably losing rep and not having ur question answered..which shouldnt matter since the answers are ALL here)
So Don't be lazy and look around.

[ShuiMei]

Thanks so much for this guide, to be quite honest Briefcase drives me crazy @_@ As of late everything I've been downloading off Briefcase hasn't been finishing...so I'm really happy that we've found a very nice and functioning alternative xD

I had a problem with the installation at first but I just re-installed and refreshed and it's working perfectly now, pretty fast too :o

[borr]

excuse me..erm i was not able to install the activeX plug-in..
that bar that usually appear informing that theres some plug-in to be installed does not even appear, so i cant install it..could you help me out? thanks

[JianDan[Ai]]

excuse me..erm i was not able to install the activeX plug-in..

Did you try refreshing or using Ctrl+N like I mentioned in the FAQ? That would probably solve the problem....hmm *looks up at my last post*

[borr]

']Did you try refreshing or using Ctrl+N like I mentioned in the FAQ? That would probably solve the problem....hmm *looks up at my last post*

yeah i did tried but still not working..is there the possibility of the activeX being already installed? but ive never accessed clubbox before
well but ill just try again and several times meanwhile..thanks
just another question, it seems not to be possible to download files from different pages simultaneously..is that right? (ie theresa file on page one..i check it, then i go to page 2 and check another file..then i press the download button, and on the list it will only appear the last one i checked).

EDIT
YEAH it worked know! thank you! only that last question remains..

[JianDan[Ai]]

Yea, its possible that u already have it enabled. I really have no clue then. If you tried refreshing or opening in a new window a few times and it still doesnt work, then i really have no idea what the problem could be =/

-edit-

Told u, just gotta keep trying. And to your second question, yes you can. Just repeat the steps on the new page. Your files will all be quered up to download.

FAQ

Q3: I keep getting this window when I try to download, but I already enabled Active-X
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/jiandanai/clubboxstep06a.jpg

A3: This is one of the most infamous problems with Clubbox. Truthfully, I have not found a solid solution for it, as it is technically a random glitch I guess that comes up from time to time. Refresh the window by pressing the F5 button (the hotkey for Refesh) a few times. It should work after that. Ctrl+N also works (the shortkey for "Open in a new window" this works usually as well. Once the DL starts you can just close all windows.


^ i have a solution for this problem...i get that damn window almost every time i dl from clubbox T____T;;;

you can also try right clicking in the white spaces and go to encoding >> korean and the dl box will show up.

it works for me everytime. hope this helps with those who's experiencing the same problem ^^

Alby: you did an excellent job on explaining the steps to use clubbox :-)

[JianDan[Ai]]

wow thx jessica ^^ I didnt realize you could do that too. That always helps to have a few tricks like this ^^ Thx a lot, I'll add it to the FAQ ^^

[pamujung]

Thanks Jess, you get me out of the problem :hugz: I can download from it now.

And if someone want to upload and share file, can we do that ?! oopsie.. off topic :sweat:

[JianDan[Ai]]

Yea, I was kinda talking about it in the other thread (the list for clubbox thread) Send me a pm if u wanna help out, and we can go from there ^^ send ur clubbox account if u have one, if not let me know so i can make one for u ^^

[jessica]

no problem guys... glad i can lend a hand :happy:

i have a question about posting these clubbox links in other forums. does the rule "signing in before dling" still apply (i saw someone posted the links at soompi already, but didn't include the rules)? and how do you want me to credit? :unsure:

[wackycashew]

yes, the "signing in before dlling" rule would still apply. if people have their own clubbox accounts, they'd likely sign in anyway because they can earn mileage. but i think for now, only signed in users who download can help us earn points. :happy:

as for crediting, i guess that'd depend on what files you're sharing. credit Jay-Chou.net and the uploader as well as other sites that we got files from. these "other sites" vary though. so, maybe you can PM me or alby to ask the credits for certain files you'll be posting. thanks so much for helping out, jess. we really appreciate it. :hugz: and thanks for the tip. so far CTRL+N has been working for me. glad to know other tricks. ^0^

[diazz]

Im having the same problem as some who had already posted too. The ActiveX box just doesnt exist and it's really weird. I've tried refreshing, re-installing, waiting... ... but nothing seems to work. Anyone has the solution? please help out?

[JianDan[Ai]]

Did you also try Ctrl+N or the "encoding > Korean" tricks as I mentioned in the FAQ?

[seaweedpatchkid]

Alby, help! I followed all the steps one by one but then the download doesn't start! It just stays at 0. It's been on for 20 minutes and it hasn't moved!

Help? :D

[JianDan[Ai]]

hmmmm You clicked the "start download" button right? Cuz it starts paused (don't ask me why, IU think its dumb, but that's how it is =/ ) Anyways, besides that, Im not sure what it could be -_-;;;

If you are on a college server (ie you live in dorms, I know you are not, but in case others are) I know some dorms block some ports, and while there is no way to change what port Clubbox uses, it is possible ur school server is blocking you.

Users with 56K may experience extremely slow speeds, sometimes 2KB/sec or less. I know that with my cable connection I get on average 20 with highs of 60 and my brother with DSL always gets about 50. So I don't know if its possible that they are getting less than 1KB per second so clubbox maybe rounding it down but you really are downloading and its just...really really slow? >< This is a even greater possibility if you are uploading or downloading from other sites/programs. I dunno but its possible.

As far as what to try, I would just say try closing and opening clubbox. This may require you to rs your computer. I would say that or just try at another time when the server is not as busy (which from my own experience is usually early morning Pacific time, from about maybe 7,8am till noonish, it is fastest)

Hope that helps >< If not you can always PM me a link and ill dl it and up it to ysi for you.

[seaweedpatchkid]

I don't know what it was...but after about another half an hour, it started. I'm on broadband too. x_x


It's cool. LOL.

[nevets1219]

Many of my friends suffer from ClubBox problems (thankfully I'm not one of them). The below is what one of them said:

Hmm, I'm having problems too. I have firefox installed as a browser. I recently made Internet explorer my default web navigator. I install everything as instructed. I also log in as daifan1. I pick something to download. Then I arrive at that install clubbox.exe pop up window as well. However, it remains there for a split second then closes. It then goes to the clubbox download manager, but a second later it closes by itself and the whole clubbox program [as seen from the disappearing status tray icon] crashes and closes. I tried everything suggested by nevets, like restarting, refreshing and what not. Can someone please help me? Also I turned off stuff like pop up blocker and enabled active x. I also didn't see that agreement window at all, even after erasing my cookies, and internet temp files. Someone please help Thank you.

I've suggessted many things to them : make sure ActiveX is enabled/allowed, clear temp internet folder, restart, refresh, allow popups, and the likes. Also another friend says that ClubBox would download fine (and @ good speed for him) then it would crash. Maybe the problems are releated...Any help is appreciated thanks

[JianDan[Ai]]

Ok this crashing thing, I have never heard about it, and im not sure what the problem could be. My only guess would be to try not logging in and downloading. See if that does anything.

[nevets1219]

OK, I'll pass that message along :) thanks for the help

[littleasian]

well since clubbox is not officially supported anymore, i just have one little request

can somebody make a list of available clubbox sites to download? I know wackycashew and JianDan[Ai] had clubbox, but who else?

even though we're not supporting it anymore it would be a shame if all those uploaded files went to waste...

[spork]

this is actually a question about uploading onto clubbox, and i was reluctant to start a new topic on it. Lately when I try to upload I haven't been able to because it keeps asking me to dl an Active X control or plug in called MultiUpload.cab from Newcom, Inc, which hasn't happened before, so I wanted to know what it is and what it's for and whether it's ok to dl it, since i'm paranoid about things like that ^_^"

[ftlouiea]

Spork,

it's fine to download that. It takes a few seconds, and is the facility that allows Uploading. And even if you have installed Active X control before, like me, it's okay to install again. Hope that helps! :happy:

[wackycashew]

yup, it's a new way of uploading that clubbox has implemented. you just have to install the ActiveX and you can see that the window for uploading has changed a bit. but just select the folder you want to upload to from the dropdown menu and click on the + button on the right to select the file for upload. the far button on the right is to remove the file from the upload list. and you can now upload more than 10 files at a time. :D the downside with this new method is that i can't seem to upload files directly from my CDs, which is a major pain considering my large files are all stored on CDs. :sweat:

[kottonkandee]

Does Clubbox have some download limits on the files or something? I'm not sure, but I read on this one site about something like that...I'm afraid I might not be able to finish my downloads....

Also, how do you resume? i think clubbox is supposed to automatically do it, but my files always start downloading a new file instead of resuming...Thank you!

[JianDan[Ai]]

Clubbox cant resume files, so if you dont finish the download, u hafta start over =/ and im not sure what you mean by "download limits" as in speeds or amount u can download, but there isnt a limit on either (although I have not seen it go any faster than 55-60kb/s )

[kottonkandee]

Thanks for the reply. My friend said it resumes automatically, but i guess it doesn't. I'll kept that in mind. Thanks. =)

I asked about the limits because this site said this:
"The files in my box will be there for only 10 days with unlimited download.
If there's 10 download for each file then it'll reset itself,
meaning it'll be on there for another 10 days."

I'm confused about the resetting files and how they're only on the site for 10 days?

Oh ok, basically for clubboxes of silver status, the files only stay on the server (think of it like YSI keeps ur files only for 7 days) However, they will "reset" your file if it has been downloaded 10 times. This means that if your file has been downloaded 10 times, the file wont be deleted, however instead the counter is set back to 0 and has 10 more days in which time it must be downloaded 10 times again or else it is deleted.

With gold status clubboxes however files stay forever and this is not a problem.

[wackycashew]

']Clubbox cant resume files, so if you dont finish the download, u hafta start over =/ and im not sure what you mean by "download limits" as in speeds or amount u can download, but there isnt a limit on either (although I have not seen it go any faster than 55-60kb/s )
actually clubbox CAN resume files. you just have to make sure that you download from the same place you got the link from and save it to the EXACT same folder that you had started the download with. i've had to do it before when i couldn't finish up a download and had to turn my comp. off. i resumed it the next day. :happy: so, it's "automatic" in that sense because it picks up the download where you left over since the downloaded data is still stored in the folder you had chosen when you first started the download. :-)

resumes work for uploads as well. ^0^

really? wow this must be something new >< im sure i used the same links and the same folder before, but it didnt resume, and i read somewhere a long time ago that clubbox didnt resume >< wow, didnt know u could resume files, thx for clearing that up lisa ^^

will fix the guide then ^^

[wackycashew]

you're welcome, alby. maybe it was something fairly recent then. :happy: i recall someone at another forum asking about this before and someone said it was doable. but i never tried until several days ago when i was forced off my comp. :tongue: so yeah, i think it resumes for uploads and downloads now. still sucky that i can't upload directly from my CDs anymore. =0

for those who are curious about this... if you get downgraded from silver to bronze after the monthly inspection because you don't have 100 points, it's still ok. you can get back up to silver by clicking on the large button just right underneath your avatar and storage stats area, and above the folders of files. it's pretty obvious. you'll see it in a bright colour with text over it and somewhere you can click on (arrow with a button, i think). if you mouse over it, you can see something like "request upgrade" at the bottom of your internet browser as the description. click and you'll be bumped back up to silver. i'm not sure if this works all the time. it's worked for me. i don't know if they factor in the amount of traffic at your clubbox to consider to let you upgrade or not, or whether there's a limit on how many times you'll get upgraded.

[missTBA]

yes, i've resumed before too so i'm pretty sure it works.

question! i think there's a new downloading policty at clubbox now. for example, when i clicked the link to lisa's clubbox in her sig, i got a a blue page with lots of korean writing. it said something about upgrade? it looks like there are only certain hours of operation now where clubbox will work without paying or something. what's going on? :confused:

[wackycashew]

^ eme, it's not a new download thing. it was a temporary inspection (june 15th, 3:00-9:00am korean time) that clubbox was doing on the system. things are back to normal now. :happy:

[retrobaby]

i pressed start but my download hasn't started.

i have been using clubbox to download lots of files and it has worked everytime.
yesterday i pressed start but it still didn't start so i closed it. today i tried again and left it there while i went out, thinking that it would be done when i come back. but after about 4 hours, it still hasn't started! so i closed it again and restarted it twice but it still doesn't work. usually if this happens i just need to restart it once and it would work. what should i do now?

[Vicluva]

Sometimes the server is busy, so you have to wait a while for the download to start. It could take anywhere from minutes to 2 hours (Yes, personal experience), so if you just leave the computer on, it'll eventually start.

[retrobaby]

although it hasn't been continuously opened, it has already been about 24 hours that I have waited for it to start. is there something wrong?

[ftlouiea]

I haven't personally had to wait 24 hours, but have it opened in the background. Make sure you're signed in, and leave it. Then, if re-installing the Clubbox Manager doesn't work... :unsure: But that should work. CB is usually non-problematic. :happy:

[retrobaby]

it's ok, it works now. just checked it and it's already downloading. thanks anyway! but i still can't believe i had to wait so long before it started :sweat:

[gracecherry]

oh someone pls help, regarding instruction number 5. well, i DLed the programme and isntalled it, and then also went to the page i want to DL from, everything was good untill i want to DL. and the window at instruction number 5 pops up, it doesnt dissapear, and the activate active x control bar didnt seem to appear? how does the activate active x control bar looks like??. i also tried pressing f5 and ctr n. but dl also doesnt start. would someone pls help me out? thanks alot. oh ya, and i reinstalled the clubbox programme too.

[JianDan[Ai]]

Truthfully, I don't know >< All i can recommend are the few tricks that there are, Ctrl+n, F5, and encoding>korean. If those 3 don't work, and your doing everything else right, then im really confused and have no idea what is wrong. >< All i can offer is that you send me the link of the clubbox and let me know which file, and if its not too big i can upload it to ysi for you.

[ftlouiea]

Gracecherry, have you installed and used CB to download before? Well, the other day, I was having same problems as you, where it tells me to install Active X when the toolbar pops up, which it didn't. Tried loads of times reinstalling CB but bleh. I tried restarting the computer, and starting the download for another file instead. It worked. Maybe try that?

[Smonkkey]

I kinda found out this trick a long time ago.. XD so i thought i'd share it. For me, clubbox has worked 100% of the time.

So you check off all the files that you want to download, and instead of clicking the download button, you click the url button. So it brings up a pop-up and it has a url for the files you want to download. You copy that url and then paste it in the address bar of a regular browser window. So you paste it in and push enter. It looks like the normal pop up that usually comes up when you download but now its in the main browser. You click the download button and wait for the "active x" screen to show up. If nothing happens instead of pushing refresh you click in the address bar and click enter. After that it should work.

At first i thought it wouldn't work at all since i thought it would be the same as refreshing, but one day i just decided to do it, and it worked... hopefully it works for you too T___T

[mindy]

Hi...my problem is different from the earlier posts...I have been able to download stuff using Clubbox...i usually get the same problem as everyone else but i managed to download thanks to the tips...however, today i was trying to download...and i was at the part where we would usually have to press ctrl+N or F5...but it doesnt work...instead a window pop up with a message saying "the webpage you are using is trying to close this window"....anyone knows whats happening? thanks a lot...

[HarmonyCloud]

ok I am having so many problems with clubbox I already Downloaded the program I know its been working cause I have been using it just recently a window opens the one that says I dont have it comes I tried re-installing and it wont go away and I have used F5 and then when I tried using Ctrl N another window opens and it tries to install something else but since the window is in Korean and I have no clue what its trying to install it I close it everytime...*help*

[ftlouiea]

mindy: i've never had that pop-up with CB. How is it now? If ctrl+N or F5 doesn't work, try right-click and change the "encoding" language to ANY language that is different to the language that it is encoded currently.

i mean do that, when you're at this window and the download doesn't start.

harms: you might want to try that ^ but i'm not entirely sure what your problem is. :unsure:

[bstandards]

My DLs are taking a long time to start, however its been working great for the past few days. I was wondering though if anyone knew if there's a place that can step me through registering because I'm wondering if you register that it'll save what you have set to download and keeps track of how much you've downloaded. I tried registering but I can't guess all the korean!

Otherwise, great guide! The encoding->Korean trick works for me everytime, randomly it'll work by itself too :)

[wackycashew]

i know that clubbox underwent maintenance recently. now i have to turn off my firewall to upload/download files. the speed is slower than usual and downloads take a long time to start, but they do start eventually. other than that, things seem to be back to normal. :happy:

for those having problems, i haven't encountered those before. if you see the screen that dana capped above, then wait till it finishes loading before pressing CTRL+N or F5. or if it doesn't work the first time, then close all the windows and try again. the only thing that you'd be installing is if ActiveXControl pops up or if you're just setting up clubbox for the first time, there will be a window that pops up to install the files when you set up.

if you get an account, then you can sign in and earn mileage points, which can allow you to have faster downloads for a certain amount of gigs, depending on how many points you have. you can resume downloads or uploads. it doesn't keep track of how much you've downloaded in terms of megs or gigs. it just keeps track of the mileage points you have accumulated through leaving your clubbox window open. i don't know what it's like to not have an account and download since i've always had an account.

[lette]

i dont know if i'm posting at the correct thread but can anyone help me by telling me how i can use search on clubbox? cause i'm looking for Staiway to heaven!

[JianDan[Ai]]

Search as in looking a clubbox or looking within a clubbox?

Either way, for the first you cant search for a clubbox through any particular function within clubbox. You must find the link to a clubbox either from a forum or link somewhere. When searching within a clubbox, it kinda depends on how clearly the person has set up their clubbox. There is a search bar to search within a single clubbox, but being as i havent used it in a long time I dont remember how to use it, and i remember it being pretty complicated since there are 2 drop down menu's that you hafta select before you can search. I think if the clubbox is well organized, you wont hafta search anyways and it will be pretty easy to look for anyways.

[lette]

:cry: :cry:
omg. it sounds so complicated..no other way out?
no one has any links to Stairway to Heaven at all? :cry:

[b^la]

Well, I don't think that you should be requesting for a link here since this is a help thread but here's a Clubbox with Stairway to Heaven in it anyway:

hey guys i just wanna ask if clubbox works with netscape? i can't open my IE

[JianDan[Ai]]

hey guys i just wanna ask if clubbox works with netscape? i can't open my IE

I haven't tried but Netscape might work. I just know that the advanced security features in firefox cause problems with clubbox. Netscape should work, so give it a try and let us know how it turns out ^^

The hotkeys for things I've mentioned in this FAQ will problaby be different for netscape. So F5 won't work, etc. So you need to find the equivalent in Netscape. Here is what to look for:

F5 = Refresh
Ctrl+N = Open in a New Window

If Netscape is anyway I remember it, if you right click you should get these options in there somewhere too. Good luck

[lette]

my download bar doesnt seem to move at all even after 30 minutes :(
does it always happen like that?

and i tried refreshing but it doesnt work in the downloding page right?

lette,
CB can have silly intervals when it just doesn't budge for hours, or a day or so. Be patient, and try downloading at another time! :happy:

thanks for helping, i tried downloading the 25 kb one and now i dont know how to load it :(
sorry for being such a bother everyone..

oh wow thanks a lot! i was able to download 3 files tonight before that active x notice appeared.. i just pressed f5!

if the file starts downloading and then pauses somewhere along the way, i'd suggest skipping that file and move on to the next one in queue if you're downloading more than one file. after the other file or files are done, then hopefully your first one will resume. other times, you might have to start all over again if it remains stuck. =(

if it says COMPLETE but you still see the two files, then delete the _CRCDATA_ file and rename the _NEO_ file by deleting the _NEO_ part so that your file ends in the file extension. :happy:

If that shows up while you are trying to download a file, the file has been deleted either by the person who uploaded it or it has expired because not enough people have downloaded it within 10 days. In any case, it means the file is no longer available. =)

[blue_ice]

Heys. I would like to ask what to they mean when they say disk full when accessing the place where i saved the file?. That means i cant d/l the file anymore?. =x.

[JianDan[Ai]]

That most means exactly what it says, your disk is full, you have no more room to download more files. So you need to either delete some things before you can download anymore.

[mel_orange88]

i juz checked bak at purpletiger86's CB..did it get deleted or something?? its not there any more =(

[ftlouiea]

i juz checked bak at purpletiger86's CB..did it get deleted or something?? its not there any more =(

You went back to check... what exactly? :unsure:

If I remember correctly, a file on CB gets removed automatically after 10 days or so if it hasn't been downloaded enough within that period of time.

[wackycashew]

i juz checked bak at purpletiger86's CB..did it get deleted or something?? its not there any more =(
i think his CB is no longer active, meaning he doesn't upload files there anymore. :wink2: what kind of files are you looking for? if you let us know, we might be able to direct you to other CB's. :happy:

[ftlouiea]

A grey box (that it has given you an image of) should pop after you get that message. Then download it again (even though you've downloaded the program before). Sometimes, you find it may be a 'newer' version of CB that it wants you to have... or CB just being wacky.

[trishee]

I have a question, I have over 1,000 mileage points to my account, and so I'm wondering about the coupons? Something about Quick Download coupons (I could be wrong :? )

JDA stated something about these privileges expiring after a couple of days. I was wondering how to use them...I'd hate for them to run out. Can anyone help me out please?

[ftlouiea]

^ 1000 points is not quite enough yet. :sweat: Try adding another zero to that number, and then we're talking business.

About the coupon expiration, I think I read somewhere about that. So it's better to use it when, say, you have a whole series to download and lots and lots of HQ clips. (See the image, 5000 points allows for 5GB!)

http://img284.imageshack.us/img284/9420/mileagepoints4kf.jpg

You should be looking at the middle right of each coupon for how many CB points you need. The numbers next to the 'W' indicates buying with Korean won.

[wackycashew]

actually, you can get 2GB of quick downloads with just 1000 points for a limit of 5 days. next one is 5GB using 2000 points for 10 days. then it's 10GB for 3000 points for 15 days. and the list goes on. :D

see below: :happy:

note that what is in the "bubbles" are the points you need to be eligible for the coupon. the # of gigs are indicated. the points on the coupon on the lower right-hand corner are equivalent to the # of gigs you can d/l. so, as your download progresses, those # of points will be deducted (e.g. 2GB = 2000P). the # underneath those points is the time period it would expire in in terms of # of days. (just like i said at the the beginning of my post.) ^0^

http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/156/clubboxpoints2ir.jpg

if you have a clubbox account, the points will keep on accumulating till it reaches 20,000 points. then it won't increase anymore.

to use it, click on the link beside where your points is shown in your clubbox.
(right-most link below) it's located at the top of your clubbox in the light blue bar.

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/2462/cbpoints1lt.jpg <--- right-most link beside your points

it'll take you to the screen like my first cap above where you can choose the coupon. right now, since you only have 1000 points, you can only pick the first one. (click on the button below the coupon to select it.) you'll have 5 days to use up the 2GB. after 5 days, the coupon will expire. so, unless you have a lot of stuff to d/l within a short period of time, i don't recommend using up your points right away. :-) anyway, after you choose the coupon, there's a pop-up, just click OK. then, when you go to d/l a file, you can choose the left-most blue button for "quick download". as the file loads, another window will pop up (which indicates how many points you've used up), just click on the orange "o" to mean OK. then download the file as you would normally d/l from clubbox. :D (side note: in the little blue bar above, there's a 1 to show that you are using a coupon, which is what i'm currently doing.)

if anything's unclear, lemme know. =)

[ftlouiea]

:glug: So all this waiting I've been doing has been... FOR NOTHING?

OMO. GRR.

Thank you, Lisa umma. ^^

[pamujung]

Good Question Trish !

Now I have 10780 points :-) have to use it before it reaches 20000 points.

Thanks Lisa for explaination.

[wackycashew]

you're welcome, dana agi. i didn't know you had queries about this. =0

pam: it doesn't really matter. it all depends on what you're downloading. when you get to 20,000 points, you can sorta slowly use them up so that it wouldn't take too much effort to get back to 20,000 again. :happy:

i'll add a link to my post in alby's first one. =)

[trishee]

Thanks to ftlouiea and wackycashew for your explanations, I now have a better idea on the Clubbox points.

Haha I feel so small, you guys have so much more mileage points compared to mine. :D Thanks again for the help, ooh I wish I knew Korean.:tongue:

[HarmonyCloud]

I have a question...for some reason...I am trying to DL on clubbox...and it keeps 'pausing' but I dont click pause...and I try to get it to DL and it will pause...do u by any chance know why?

[PingPong700]

Edit: Oops, I somehow fixed my earlier problem, but now I have the same problem as HarmonyCloud...the file I'm downloading keeps pausing for no reason O_o

[spork]

That happens to me sometimes too...Maybe it's the server or something? Sometimes, I find that restarting Clubbox helps..only sometimes though :/

[wackycashew]

it's because of the recent clubbox upgrade. it happens when downloading or uploading. for downloading, there's a time limit. i don't recall how long at the moment. but after it times out, the download will pause and move along to the next file in the queue. if you only have one file, you can try to "force" it by continuously clicking the download button and i think it will go eventually. if you have multiple files in line, then just let the next file download and it'll come back to the first file eventually and things should work then. alternatively, you can shift your list of files up or down so that when it pauses and skips to the next file, you can adjust it so that the skipped file you want will come after instead of before the current download. but other times, the download just gets stuck if not paused. it just looks like it's not moving. in which case, you might wanna pause it yourself and download the next file and return to that one later. you can also try to delete the file and start up the download again. =)

for uploading, you might just wanna delete the file and start it up again if it seems stuck for a long time or keeps on pausing. i've also heard that some people have experienced multiple-file downloading, which is a fluke/glitch in the new upgrade. i haven't been one of the lucky ones though. :tongue:

[aulzon]

Hi I have a problem with my clubbox, I already installed it and did all the things in the FAQ but whenever I download something clubbox automatically shut offs and gives me this screen.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c222/murasakisora/prob.jpg

I have no problem using clubbox on my laptop but whenever I download something on my desktop using clubbox, clubbox opens and then closes automatically and gives me that screen. I've tried restarting and redownloading it but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have this prob and does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?

[wackycashew]

^ hmmm... i've never encountered that error before. i do know clubbox made recent upgrades though. you might want to uninstall and reinstall. not sure if that's what you've already done when you said you "restarted" it. :unsure:

[pamujung]

Yeah clubbox already done upgrades to English version, it doesn't work normally this day >.< I didn't use it for fours day and after re-open it, it ask me to install active x everytime.. so annoying.

But sofar I never have that shutting off automatically problem, I might say reinstall either. I did that with the other problems and it works well after that, remember to restart computer too.

[retrobaby]

i've got a problem...usually i download from iyagi's clubbox normally but today when i went there it requires me to log in! i don't have any log in name and i have no idea how to create one. what am i supposed to do?

[ftlouiea]

Hmm Adeline, I could try and find you a tutorial on how to create a username, but otherwise you could use someone else's... like mine? :sweat: If you dont mind bumping up my points and that we don't log in on the same time. :unsure: I just checked, and it does allow me to sign in with my username, so that should be the only barrier between you and the goodies.

edit// i just realised how pointless that post was. ade, just PM me for the username, but i'm waiting for soompi to stop its outages for me... so i can find the CB tutorial thread. =/

[Diaologist]

Ahh I finally figured out to sign up myself...If anyone else is having troubles signing up go here: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=142500#142500
It's a full tutorial on how to sign up =) GL everyone

[retrobaby]

thx Dana, i've already followed Diaologist's link (thanks for the link!) and made a username, yay! (too bad i've already downloaded so many things before, i could have had lots of points!)
so does it mean that i can have my own clubbox and upload stuff for other people now?

[wackycashew]

^ if you want to, ade. or you can just keep your username and account for downloading purposes. :D

anyway, just a heads-up... since Feb 1st, there's been a crackdown on CB's that have "illegal files". supposedly, the TV stations and other corporations are paying "spies" to scout out CB's that contain movies (korean/american/european) and possibly dramas/shows. "illegal" meaning any broadcasts by SBS/MBC/KBS (which is pretty much everything. :wacko: ) anywho... if you notice CB's that worked for you before but don't work now, that could be why. the owners are stepping up the requirements and being extra cautious these days, so you probably need a username and be a member of their CB's. even then, it might not be enough though. just thought i'd let you guys know. :happy:

[retrobaby]

lisa ooh...thanks for the info
well so now i've downloaded a couple of episodes and i want to close my clubbox cuz i'm shutting down but this dialogue box pops up saying something like if i don't close it i get mileage points? i closed it anyway since i'm gonna shut down, but i would like to know what that is!

[pamujung]

I see there is one CB I used to download from but now it gone >.< and the another one I can't seem to download from it, don't know there is something about privacy again haha

sigh.. even the web board, clubbox wave something where contain many CB links also effect by that and need to close the site.

Ade >> I believe that is a offer for gaining the mileage points even you didn't download anything. You can just sign in and leave it without DL, the reserved mileage will continue counting anyway.

[poorlostsoul]

']It wouldnt be logical to use a site that requires people to sign up with a kssn now is it? Besides, if u look at the instructions, u dont need to sign up for anything.
And Ive been seen it go as fast as 50kb/sec, although I would say average is around 20-25ish. Just like any other server it depends on how busy it is.



wow this is the first time i'm using it and im getting 46kb/s!!
awesome! lol though at first i thought it was quite slow -.-

anyways thank you SO much for doing this tutorial
i've tried MANY times to get clubbox to work but after reading yours, i got it to work straight away!!!
thank you heres 20pts for u ^^

[wackycashew]

ade: as pam said, even if you don't download or upload anything, as long as the CB window is open, the mileage points will accumulate. once you've earned a certain amount of points, you can redeem them for quick download, which goes faster than the 50kb/s with the regular download. :happy:

[pamujung]

>.< I never get 50kb/s even using the coupon. Use or not use is the same for me at around 25kb/s It's depend on the connection anyway.

^ I get a faster connection not using the coupon, since my normal speed is 50kb/s. :laughing:
If you do get a coupon, make sure you're somewhere where the connection speed can reach 200kb/s, which is what quick download promises. :rolleyes:

[.sweetT.]

Thank you so much for this thread because my friend found it very helpful.

[retrobaby]

i've got another question. does the mileage points increase just by leaving the box open or also by downloading more stuff? does it mean that the more stuff i download the more points i get?

[wackycashew]

i've got another question. does the mileage points increase just by leaving the box open or also by downloading more stuff? does it mean that the more stuff i download the more points i get?
nope. it's strictly 10 points per hour, doesn't matter if you leave the window open or download a bunch of files. :happy:

normal speed should be 50kb/s. quick download can fluctuate. but anything above 50kb/s will count as quick download and your points that were cashed in with the coupon will be deducted. i've gone as high up as 300+kb/s, but that's rare. usually 100+ to 200+kb/s is good for me. but yes, it also depends on location. in korea, it's much faster. take uploading for instance. it can go to 5mb/s and takes them like 3 min. to upload a 700mb file whilst it'd take me 45 min. to an hour at a "good" speed.

pam, only 25kb/s. that's pretty slow. :glug: i guess the country you're at plays a part in the connection. :sweat:

[retrobaby]

only 10 points per hour? :glug:
that's pretty sad...i've only got like...300 points now :cry:

thanks for the explanation lisa! i'll make sure i open the window everytime i turn on the computer!

but sometimes it says "50kb/s" while it's not moving. does that happen? and i'm not sure but it seems to me that different times of the day affects the download speed too...:?

[ker_ai_teresa]

but sometimes it says "50kb/s" while it's not moving. does that happen? and i'm not sure but it seems to me that different times of the day affects the download speed too...:?

I think it depends on what the file is. I find that a lot of the older files, while the DLing speed does show, the clip isn't actually DLing at all. I can leave it open for hours but it still won't move. So what I usually do is just try again another time...not that I have a choice. :rolleyes:

[trishee]

I'm reading in jealousy here because my speed is really really SLOW compared to you guys. You say 25kb/s is slow, try mine: Sweet 18 Ep 4 - 8kb/s!!!

Yeah so I was wondering what the speed depended on. This may be asked before I'm not sure. What affects the download speed? So the country we live in matters. Thailand = haha real far from Korea. What else?

I read somewhere that Clubbox works like BitTorrent where we upload while we're downloading. So if we keep the names of the downloaded files from Clubbox the way they are, we wil be uploading to others downloading the file as well. Is this true? So does the speed depend on how many have that particular file in their system/or downloading it at the moment??
e.g. On days with more ppl exchanging the file = faster speed

One more thing I'd like to ask: how about the fact that I have a wireless router. I now d/l my files on my laptop and I use a wireless router so I can move my laptop around the house. Does the fact of an existing router and firewall matter?

Clearly I'm not a computer whiz but I really want to find ways to increase my downloading speed. :happy:

[pamujung]

Got the same problem here, it doesn't download the file even the downloading speed did show up >.< Sometime I leave it for a day and got only 4% download. So I just give up and try to look for the new CB site :happy:

Trish >> I'm sure the downloading speed depends on your connection and the traffic on your connection server. And I don't think it's dued to how many who download at the same time. CB has no peer system. By the way, I am not sure about how it works like BT or not, I didn't use BT that long.

[kyle927]

Hi. I'm new here and also new with clubbox. Can somebody please help me? How do i register an account (make id & password) at clubbox? I cannot read korean so if anyone can please help me out....it would be much appreciated. If you can pls give in detail & with pictures how to react an account...i would be deeply grateful. Thank you and hope to hear back from you guys.

[retrobaby]

kyle927 you can follow this link (http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=142500#142500) that was posted a few pages back and it explains how to create a username. hope that helps because i followed it last week and now i have my own username! :)

[Sweet Neko]

I'm not sure if this question has been posted before in the previous pages but when I used the search option but couldn't find anything... if this has been posted please tell me where XP

ALrigth here's the question: Is clubbox illegal to use in Hong Kong? Becuase I'm really nervous about the whole dwnloading thing lately...:cry: I really want to download a series called Prince turns Into Frog...

[lily]

Sweet_Neko: Hmmm...I don't think it's illegal. Well, I use it too. I'm in Hong Kong as well. The police seems to be targeting on BT and Winmx for now. Not sure if they have spotted clubbox yet. I don't think it's really illegal though. I've changed to clubbox ever since I read about HK police catching a guy for uploading bt stuff. I think downloading in clubbox is ok. I've been using for a long time.

[kaito_1412]

But I wonder how I can download my movie. After installing Clubbox, I go to website and see nothing like your faq :(. Dont know what it is :(

[happifruit]

the tutorial was really useful, thank you very much

just a quick question about ActiveX...

how safe is the plug-in? someone once told me not to download it, so I'm not sure what to do when the thing pops up telling me I have to install it...

[virtualcop89]

i dont no how to get music or cant find anything
any help ?
i need to no where to go

[spork]

happifruit: I asked the same question in one of the earlier posts because I was worried about it too. I think it was wackycashew, who has her own clubbox site, who told me that the active x controls just allow you to dl and that they shouldn't do anything to your comp, but i'm no expert :sweat:

[happifruit]

Oh okay...maybe I'll PM her and see...

Thanks so much though!

[spork]

uh...I would advise against pming someone over that and just wait and exercise a little patience to see if anyone else knows for certain what the Active X controls are for...or, you can just google it for an actual description, which is faster

[happifruit]

I've tried google...and nothing seems to really answer anything...if anything the answers just worry me more...

[Sweet Neko]

I also want to ask another quesiton, the download always seems to be stuck on 0KB/S and then after 5 minutes or so, it pauses itself. Why does that happen?

[ftlouiea]

CB automatically does that now. It's so that, if you had another file to download next in line, you're not having to come back to a file that hasn't budged and the other files not being able to download because of it.

Active X control. All I'm sure is - either you get it, and you're able to use CB; or you dont get it, and just don't use CB. Plain as porridge.

[illeszt]

I had over 2000 points... and then this afternoon, I opened clubbox and it said I have NONE now... WTF happened?

[wackycashew]

^ CB has been undergoing all sorts of upgrades recently. :wink2: things are back to normal now.

every time CB makes an upgrade, you just have to patient. there are usually some glitches before things are back to normal again. :happy:

[kathy_arlam]

Thanks for the explanation for how to use clubbox! :D

I have a questioon about the mileage points, I left my clubbox program open while downloading something but I don't seem to be getting any points. I left it open for the whole night but I still only got 0p. Does anyone know why? :?

[happifruit]

I also have a question...I was trying to sign in to access someone's CB and this appeared on the page:

http://xce.xanga.com/a2db6a0ad2c3049157017/m33028436.jpg

is something wrong?

thanks in advance!

[wackycashew]

kathy: maybe you need to restart the clubbox window again. unless you've already reached the maximum 20,000 points, in which case your points tally will only remain at 10 and not increase, your points should increase by 10 per hour. i've only seen the 0 points thing happening after an upgrade, but it usually resumes after an hour of running cuz things return to normal. :D

happifruit: that means you have to become a member of that box to gain access. to become a member, log in with your clubbox id and password. then click on the white button at the top right-hand corner of the top bar, right above the person's clubbox points. only click once and you will see a pop-up saying you've joined that person's box and become a member. don't click more than once on that button. if you click twice, then you would be removing yourself from being a member of that box. if you're having problems, maybe you need to disable a pop-up blocker. :happy: (if you don't know what button i'm talking about, go to my clubbox and you'll see it in the first graphic of instructions.) :wink2:

[Becci]

My clubbox isn't working how come?? It stays on 0% forever...once I tried to download something and I left it minimized and by the end of the day it was still on 0% ..why? :S

[wackycashew]

^ files stay at 0% for all sorts of reasons. :happy: you can try different tricks. delete it from your list of downloads and queue up the file again. pause it, go download something else on your list first and come back to the file later. if you're using quick download, pause it, wait a bit, then start it again. or if you're using quick download, stop it, delete it from your list, load up the file for download again and use regular download to kickstart and then switch to quick download. or you can restart your computer and load up the clubbox window again. but ultimately, you just have to be patient. :wink2:

on a side note, you can now organize a favourites list for clubboxes that you're a member of. that's the latest feature with the recent CB upgrade. :D

[babyvanny]

i dunno what's wrong with my clubbox.. everytime i click on the link i want to download.. as in i click 'start' in the clubbox.. it always say 'pause'.. n i try to click 'start' again.. n it jus go straight to 'pause' again..

That is happening to me as well...I seriously don't know what's going on....can someone help us? :worry:

[akameluv]

Hi! I'm new here :-)
Just wanted to ask a little question... I have a box and I'd like to put some background music on it...what audio format should I use? (someone told me .mid, but is this the only one?)
Thanks in advance!

[azn_noodles]

That is happening to me as well...I seriously don't know what's going on....can someone help us? :worry:
yes, same thing is happening to me too! :'[
i've been waiting, and i pressed "start" a couple times...still isnt workying =\

[wackycashew]

^ for those having the above problems, try uninstalling and reinstalling clubbox. they went through a recent upgrade. maybe some of you were affected by it. i didn't have any trouble myself. in any case, usually when there is a pop-up that asks you to click OK along with that "downloading" screen as capped above, they've upgraded the system. you can also see the layout has changed if you own a clubbox. :happy:

if you have a series of files queued up and it's doing the start/pause/skip to next file thing, one way to stop that is to go to a CB and queue up another file. that'll break the skipping and you can then pause the "spazzing" that's going on. then you can press START again to download the desired file. CB does this from time to time. :-) i'm not sure why though...

[retrobaby]

i have a question. is it true that as it downloads, clubbox also also uploads a lot of stuff at the same time? and, what is fscagent? is it harmful? can i not upload anything when i'm downloading?

[friends_pt]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/frenz_love/Untitled-2.jpg

Sorry but can anyone like tell me what is this suppose to mean? this appears when i attempted to download a video.

[JianDan[Ai]]

i have a question. is it true that as it downloads, clubbox also also uploads a lot of stuff at the same time? and, what is fscagent? is it harmful? can i not upload anything when i'm downloading?


this is what i found
fscagent, is an autorun sofware (like spyware, etc.) wich will automatically upload everything you have downloaded from clubbox. So, each time others ppl want to download something you have (in your folders that you store your downloaded files), fscagent will use your internet connection to upload them, that why sometime your download speed is really slow, cuz in the same time even you don't upload anything by yourself to any clubbox, fscagent is uploading for other ppl. How do I know that ? I have try to move all my files to an other folder after I have finish downloading for the last 2 months and when I check my internet usage, it's become normal for the last 2 months.

Briefly, Clubbox works like P2P shareware & BT. If you want to inscrease your donwload speed just move your downloaded files to an other folders.


and friends, not sure how to help u there >< but if u could go thru exactly which steps u went thru before u got there, i might be able to figure something out

[friends_pt]

']this is what i found
and friends, not sure how to help u there >< but if u could go thru exactly which steps u went thru before u got there, i might be able to figure something out

that message appears after i tried to download the video from step two whereby a new window will pop up sort of double confirmed your download and stuff..

[Star]

Please help, I followed all the instructions to a T and was feeling very smug because it was going so well. I downloaded the program, installed it and started my DL. The DL was estimated to have been downloaded in 2 and half hours and all was working smoothly. Then in my last half hour my expected DL time went to zero and the file still hasn't been downloaded.

I’ve been staring at it for 20 minutes and it still has an expected DL time of zero, did I do something wrong?

[ftlouiea]

Try going back to that clubbox you were downloading from. Then go through with the download process once again. As long as you didn't delete the neo file, it'll start off from where it paused. :happy:

[Star]

^Thanks so much ftlouiea, I’m relieved to know it’s a normal hic-cup I shall keep trying =)

[xanimeotakux]

thanks for the tutorial!

i have a small question. when you said it'll delete my itself in 10 days or unless we have to dl it 10 times, you mean we have to dl that same file 10 times? O_O

[happifruit]

I also have a quick question: is there a way to save your username and password so you don't have to log in everytime? I checked all the combinations of the checkboxes but it doesn't seem like anything works. Thanks!

[Nprob]

Anyone has same situation with me?When i go 2 download page,the active X required me 2 install something calls nowStater.cab?I'm scared it would be virus so i haven't do anything.

[ftlouiea]

It's not a virus! :D

But ifyou download and install it, you'll be able to download using Clubbox!

[jessica]

thanks for the tutorial!

the files in a silver box will expire in 10 if it has less than 10 DLs.

that's required to install clubbox ^^

[Nprob]

Thz for urs answers but i have one more problem.If i switch off my computer even the file haven't finish to download,so i can continue 2 download at the next time ,right?But go where to download?At my start menu,the clubbox after install setup looked like in this picture:
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b385/OLEXAM/cb.jpg

And i'm staying at Singapore,can i got sue by downloading from clubbox.

[may_510]

^ Nprob, yes, you can continue downloading even after you have switched off your computer. Just type the same download URL on your internet browser and start the download (the usual steps) and it will start from where you left it before, provided that you didn't delete the NEO and CRCDATA files in your computer :-)

I have another problem here. There are a few times where I download the same file for a few days. It usually starts the download from where I left it but after a few days, the download will start from 0% again eventhough I have already completed around 89% of the download :cry: And..... it happens to a big-sized file, which took me days to get 89% :cry:

[pamujung]

I also have a quick question: is there a way to save your username and password so you don't have to log in everytime? I checked all the combinations of the checkboxes but it doesn't seem like anything works. Thanks!There is no function like log in forever but you can set clubbox program to run automatically when the windows start and set to log in whenever the program run.

May >> I never experience that problem, but I think it's not the problem of resuming. May be the owner of the clubbox where you got the link, reupload the file or change the link :sweat:

[may_510]

^ Pam, thanksss for the explanation :happy: Umm, I guess the owner didn't change the link coz I can still access to the same url.. The weird thing is, the download runs but after a while it freezes. Therefore, I paused the download and then start it again but instead of resuming from the xx % that I have already had, it started from 0! :cry:

[animenoura]

I have a question :: Can we contact someones clubbox ?? and how ??:shifty:
Another :: In searching for clubbox , I used PDBOX and the following was in the result page:::
http://www.br2h.com/up/uploads/22cdcd5c28.jpg

[B]That all was in one page , what am I supposed to click ??:worry:
Thanks in advance!

[spork]

I have a question too :sweat:

What does it mean when I log into someone's clubbox [to leech :bleh:] and I get something that looks like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/Sporkula/clubboxquestion.jpg

[wackycashew]

^ it means you have to join the clubbox to see the folders and access the links.

[happifruit]

[...] I paused the download and then start it again but instead of resuming from the xx % that I have already had, it started from 0! :cry:

I have the same problem with several files. This one was at approximately 90% done, but I had to go to sleep and didn't want the computer running overnight, so I switched it off meaning to resume. The next day, it started at 0 even though both the NEO and the other file were still in the directory. It's even happened twice on the same file where I would hit 64% and it would freeze, and when I restarted it would go from 0 to 64% than freeze again, and starting again at 0. What's wrong?

[xanimeotakux]

does anyone know what this means? this message pops up everytime i try to download something from clubbox.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/anime_lover124/clubbox.jpg

[pamujung]

yo! Jeannie, did you click 'ok' for that pop-up message ? And it happens after you click to download from the small browser right. It asked to find path to the clubbox program and such. After click 'ok', it will automatically find path to where you save the clubbox (normally is in drive c), it will take a few minute before it starts download.

I don't know exactly what it says in the pop-up message, but that what I did when I got it. I don't know the reason why, but it may be fine once I allowed it to find the path :sweat:

[ftlouiea]

^ That box, I assume it's to update CB. A status bar always pops up after that for me, so it's nothing to worry about. Click OK.

[xanimeotakux]

really? that's odd, because when i pressed ok, the page turned black, and then my browser froze.. ~_~ and it only happens on that computer. i downloaded clubbox on the laptop, and it works fine..

[pamujung]

if it is in that case, then I don't know :oops: anyway when I face a problem with clubbox, I always re-install the program ^^"

[Ginuwine]

I understand there is a downloading program needed to download from Clubbox but is their a version of Apple/Mac computers?

[xanimeotakux]

omg, thanks! it works now! i just redownloaded it, haha. it never worked before, maybe because i just deleted the desktop icon. XD yay, thanks! =)

[cookielmy]

One problem here too.

Usually when I visit one's clubbox, the folders of the uploads are always seen at left hand side. Where they seperate the files following the genre. But now, I couldn't see the folders anymore. It's empty.

This is how it looks like now..

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a94/cookielmy/1122.jpg

So is there anything I could do to see the folders back? Maybe I've simply clicked the wrong buttons last time when I was exploring :oops:

[spork]

Ginuwine: I believe there is only one version. but I dunno korean, so I really can't confirm for sure >_>
cookie: I get that problem sometimes :/ Usually it goes away when I log out and log back in. Sometimes it takes a few tries before the page loads 'normally'
I have a question myself too. I was trying to download HYD ep 9 off http://clubbox.co.kr/gknee and this popped up:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/Sporkula/clubboxq.jpg
Does anyone know what it's telling me ?

[may_510]

Lee Mookie, I got that sometimes too. I tried clicking refresh and it works sometimes ^^

spork, it says that the file is still in the process of being uploaded now and you can't download the file yet ^^
Off-topic: Thanks for the 'reminder'. I need to download Hanadan too! :D

[jay_ella4ever]

is there a way of searching for like a specific users clubbox.. cause sometimes i forget the specific name of the clubbox...

[happifruit]

Hello,

I was just clicking into a Clubbox that I usually go to, and I see this:


http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5265/25257960fe4.png

I thought that it was because I needed to add myself to the Clubbox, but when I hit the button, that wasn't it. What is the message about?

Thank you!
