1fichier.com: Settings and Troubleshooting

1fichier.com: Settings and Troubleshooting

How can I download using a premium account?

1. Go to 1fichier.com/console/params.pl -> Click on API Key -> Get my API Key -> Copy the key to your clipboard
   If you can't see "Get my API key", click on Disable API usage instead and then on Get my API key.
   If the 1fichier website does not give you the option to display/generate an API key, your 1fichier account is not a premium account.
2. Open JDownloader -> Settings -> Account Manager -> Add -> 1fichier.com -> Enter your API key here

   If you are using myjdownloader, enter your API key in both the username and password fields!
   If you are using JDownloader via GUI and the login mask is prompting you to enter username and password instead of API Key, you might have accidentally disabled API usage so go to Settings -> Plugins -> 1fichier.com -> Enable Use premium API

I have problems with premium downloads or premium login, what can I do?

1. If a 1fichier.com account is already in your JDownloader Account Manager, delete it.
2. Go to Settings -> Plugins -> 1fichier.com -> Enable Use premium API
3. Now re-add your premium account in JDownloaders Account Manager and try again.

My account status seems incorrect and it mentions 'API flood', what does this mean?

The 1fichier.com API has very strict account checking rate limits.

By checking the same 1fichier account multiple times within some minutes, you can easily trigger this protection.

This only means that at this moment, JDownloader is unable to fetch your 1fichier account information.

Your account is still perfectly usable and downloads should work just fine.

Either wait until JDownloader is automatically checking your account next time or wait at least 10 minutes, then rightclick on your 1fichier account in the account manager -> Refresh

I bought a 'premium key'/'Voucher'/'Activation key' from a reseller - how can I use that in JDownloader?

1. Register a free 1fichier.com account.
2. Login, go to 1fichier.com/console/vu.pl and redeem your voucher there.
3. Now your 1fichier account should become a premium account and you should be able to add it to JDownloader using the instructions in this article.

I'm getting the error "VPN/proxy/datacenter IP not allowed; CDN credits needed for downloading",  "Must Have CDN", "professional equipment, must have CDN" or "Premium status must not be used on professional services".

1fichier.com is blocking VPN, Proxy and Server/Datacenter-IPs.
Only "Premium GOLD" accounts are allowed to download via such IPs.

If you own a "Premium GOLD" account, try this:

1. Settings -> Account Manager -> 1fichier.com -> Remove
2. Settings -> Plugins -> 1fichier.com -> Use premium API -> Disable this
3. Settings -> Account Manager -> Re-add your 1fichier.com account
4. Check if downloads are working now

If you do not own a "Premium GOLD" account or if the above did not help to fix the problem, your IP might have been flagged mistakenly.

1. Reproduce the same problem in your browser. Try multiple times if needed.
2. Create a screenshot once you can see this- or a similar error message during your download attempt via browser.
3. Contact the 1fichier support, attach the screenshot to your message and also include your current external IP.
This error message is neither related to the JDownloader software nor can we help to resolve it.

If you are knowingly using a VPN/proxy or similar, you need to buy- and use so called 'CDN credits', see 1fichier.com/tarifs.html -> Scroll down to 'CDN Offer'.

I bought CDN credits, how can I use CDN credits for downloading?

1. Stop your downloads in JDownloader and open 1fichier.com/console/params.pl in your browser -> Click on "CDN Credits" -> Hit the checkbox "Use my Credits for my Own Downloads"
   Screenshot:
   
2. Go to Settings -> Account Manager -> Rightclick on your 1fichier.com account -> Refresh
   It should look like this: Status column: "... CDN Credits: XXGB | Used: Yes" and the "Download Traffic left" column should display the available CDN credit traffic.
3. Now you can start your downloading again. Your CDN credits will be used for downloading.

I own only a free account so I'm unable to use my API key for downloading, how can I use my free account for downloading in JDownloader?

1. Open JDownloader -> Settings -> Plugins -> 1fichier.com -> Disable Use premium API
2. Add your account to JDownloader under Settings -> Account Manager -> Add -> 1fichier.com -> Enter your username and password
3. Start downloading.
