 A: The auth-ID is an internal identification which authentificates the user. It will be first generated by the admin or the automatic registration process and can later be modified by you, the user. Think of some kind of a low security password.
 
 Q: What is the difference between all these user types (full, sub, group, external, ...)?

 Q: I have uploaded a HUGE file but misspelled my recipient's address. Now I have got an error bounce email. Must I re-upload the HUGE file?
 A: No, it is not necessary. You can redirect the file with "user config & operation control"

 A: Generally, no, because they suck: they are not RFC compliant and produce a LOT of unnecessary server load.
    But there is one exception: axel http://axel.alioth.debian.org/
 
-Q: When I hit [ESC] in firefox the upload is canceled. Why?
-A: This is a built-in feature of firefox: ESC terminates the current operation.
-   Simple solution: do not hit ESC in Firefox.
-   Complex solution: ask the Firefox developers to add keyboard configuration.
+Q: Why is there an error "FILE has already been downloaded"?
+A: Either you or someone else have already downloaded this file. Now it is gone.
+   Downloads are limited to a specific recipient. One cannot share it.
+   Perhaps the sender has fexed it to a mailing list (which is a bad idea!)?
 
+Q: Can I fex to a mailing list?
+A: Generally: no, because the first download makes the file no more available for others.
+   Contact $SERVER_ADMIN$, he can allow multiple downloads for specific addresses.

 Q: Sending as a F*EX user is easy, but how to receive files from others, outside?
 A: Register them as your subusers, create a F*EX group or a one-time upload key with "user config & operation control"

+Q: I am not a user of your site. How can I send a file to a registered user?
+A: See question above: you must ask a regular user to register you as his subuser.
+   You will then get a specific upload URL from him.
+
 Q: Sometimes I can download a file more than once, especially when I repeat it quickly. Is the autodelete feature buggy?
 A: The F*EX server has a grace time of 1 minute after first sucessfully download in which the file is still available. This is necessary because of some stupid "download managers" which request the file several times at once. Otherwise they would report an error to the user.

 Q: I have sent a second file with the same name, but the recpient has not received a second notification email. Why?
 A: A file with the same name to the same recpient overwrites the first one if it is still there (no download so far).
    A second notification email of the same file(name) is not suggestive.

 A: Use "!#!" as comment, then no notification email will be sent.
    Of course you then have to inform the recipient manually.

 Q: Can I get a copy of the notification email?
 A: Add "!bcc!" to the comment field on upload.
