247 Downloads - This is the worst programme I have ever purchased.
It is useless.
Their promise to refund is rubbish, IMO.
I mailed to advise them that I wished to claim a refund.
They said fine provided I uninstalled the programme.
I did as instructed but never got the refund, despite many mails.
Out of curiousity I tried to download the programme again but as I suspected they had blocked this option.
So no programme, no refund and no contact.

247 Downloads - Like these other reviews, I am disgusted at this business' practices since I was not able to download their software after purchasing a year's subscription. As if that was not bad enough, after writing to them in a very professional manner, I got no response. There is also no contact number for this company and they use an online payment service so that this number appears on customers' bank statements.

247 Downloads - I think that the people that are having troble with this software are having a difficult time with the instructions. Which I completely understand. But if you can get through the instructions it's really a good product.

Sorry mate, but you're having a laugh. This isn't about one-upmanship on who can use the software and who can't, it's about trying to help our fellow man to avoid the mistakes that we've made by giving honest and impartial reviews. I'm sure you can make the software work if you've got the time to work it out, but that's not the point. The website suggests that it is easy to use but it isn't. I'm pretty certain that the sixty odd people that have bad reviews of 247 downloads aren't all thick. The one thing that we've ALL got in common is that we all feel we've been scammed.

YOU MUST BE NUTS, DO YOU WORK FOR 247 DOWNLOADS?

I took the time to learn the software, and I think it's still a big waste of time and money. Beware of phony reviewers.

I've only just found this reviews site (and these reviews of 247Downloads.com in particular), a few months after paying around £15 for a one-year membership (good job I didn't go for the two-year option). As you will have figured out from these reviews, it was not a great decision; all you will get from using the horribly cheap and complicated software download provided upon (automatic electronic) payment, is an infestation of nasty viruses, spyware and scumware.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST - IT ISN'T EVEN A VALID CONTACT EMAIL ADDRESS - SO YOU HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING HELP OR A REFUND.

I am with the rest of the responses finding that 247 Downloads is a waste of time and money. I am just sorry that I was able to stumble upon this review after I gave them money for a two year subscription.

247 Downloads - I have not been able to download one file of any kind. I paid my money, downloaded the 247 software and have simply been lost in their confusing instructions. SAVE YOUR MONEY and avoid this product.

247 Downloads - This was a waste of time and my money!! Finding ISP, and loading file finders, and searching engines!!! What is this stuff!! Nothing worked as it should. I would highly recommend everyone from downloading this horrible and useless program!

Software doesnt work.
No response from support emails.
No response from request for refund.

247 Downloads is poor. I was unable to download their software after paying for it and have emailed their support centre repeatedly. They are yet to reply. I have requested a refund which I am still waiting for a reply. I have serious doubts about this product.

I fully endorse this review. I also cannot get a reply or a refund.
<br>Do not buy this so-called product under any circumstances.
Written on: 12/10/2004
I am a further victim of this. I was mislead by a positive review on another seemingly reputable site.
<br>Don't touch this product.

I also paid for 247 Downloads' software and cannot download the program. Have asked for a refund many many times and have had no response. I would not recommend this site to anyone.

I completely agree...same thing happened to me. I was also unable to download this.
written by towercrane on 31/07/2004
After loads of e-mails to them and receiving none in return, I have gave 24-7 downloads up as a bad habbit. I followed all the instructions and was unable to open the most important one, File Finder. Constant error messages saying that it was in use!!! Not on my PC it`s not...
