How does usage limits on my NAVIScheck.com account work? My recipient received the error message, "The sender has exceeded the download limit" - what does this mean?
Your NAVIScheck.com account has a 30-day limit on the total number of bytes available for recipient downloads (of files that you have sent). Your limit is based on your account type. We track how many times the files that you have uploaded that have been downloaded to determine the total number of bytes downloaded during the 30 days. Note: there are no upload limits, other than the maximum file size restriction of 2GB for paid accounts, and 100MB for the NAVIScheck Lite account.
For subscribers, the time period over which your usage is measured is your monthly billing cycle. For NAVIScheck Lite users, the time period used is the last 30 days.
If your file uploads have exceeded your 30-day limit and a recipient tries to download a file from you, both you and the recipient will be notified. At the start of each new 30-day period, your usage counter is reset to zero.
What if I have exceeded or I am about to exceed my usage limit for the 30-day period?
You can purchase additional usage at any time. Additional usage that you purchase is added immediately to your 30-day usage limit. For paid subscribers, your normal download limit will apply again when your next billing cycle begins. For NAVIScheck Lite users, any unused additional bandwidth expires 30 days from the date of purchase. NAVIScheck.com account holders can also upgrade their accounts to increase their monthly usage limit.

Is there a limit on how many bytes I can download?

My upload continually freezes or fails. Why does this happen?
If you must use the browser based upload, here are a few things to try. First, clear your browser cache and make sure you have disabled any firewalls installed on your computer. Try clicking the reload button in your browser several times to direct the connection to another server. You may also consider trying a secondary browser such as Firefox.
If the issue still persists, please contact us with the following information:
1. At what point are you unable to upload the file?
2.
Do you receive any error messages?
3.
What browser and OS are you using?
I keep getting a system-busy error. Why does this happen?
NAVIScheck.com utilizes a distributed architecture consisting of hundreds of geographically servers. Your download link won't work if the server that your file is stored on is "down" or unavailable due to technical problems.
We replicate files across multiple servers, so the chance of having a file unavailable is very low. You can try to access your file at a later time or you can try clicking the reload button on your web browser to refresh the page and try again. We attempt to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
I am unable to open the file I just downloaded. What should I do?
We only support the actual delivery (upload and download) of files. We cannot assist with opening the file on your computer. You may want to contact the sender to find out what program is required to open the specific file. You may need to update the software you are using to open the file, in which case you should contact the publisher of the software directly.
If you are unsure what program you should use to open a particular file with, please see http://whatis.techtarget.com/file-extension-list-A/0,289933,sid9,00.html for a list of file formats.

UPLOAD [top]
Why is my file taking a long time to upload?
When uploading files, you may experience slow upload times due to how much available bandwidth you have, who your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is, the routing between your ISP and our servers, how busy our servers are, etc. However, you should expect the upload process to take longer for large files.
DOWNLOAD [top]
I’m getting error message of “The file associated with this link has expired” when downloading a file, why?
A file link is only valid for a certain number of days or a limited number of downloads, whichever occurs first. Once an uploaded file expires, it can no longer be downloaded. If you still need the file, please contact the original sender directly.
I received a message stating "Please add an email alias to your account to download the file", why?
The sender of the file used the Certified Delivery option to send this file. You are asked to login or register an account with NAVIScheck.com, Inc. with the email address you received the download email notification notice at. Please make sure you are the intended recipient of the file, and that you are logged with that email address while trying to download the file.
