MediaFire utilizes Cloudflare to enhance its site's security, performance, and reliability. This includes protecting against DDoS attacks, filtering malicious traffic, and preventing automated scraping or unauthorized access that could consume server resources, bypass download limits, or potentially distribute malware. While JDownloader is a legitimate download manager, its automated nature can sometimes mimic bot behavior in the eyes of Cloudflare's algorithms, leading to blocks. MediaFire prioritizes the overall security and stability of its platform, even if it inadvertently affects some automated download tools.
