Due to the bankruptcy of the IPFS type cloud storage company I registered for, I now have some CID numbers. How can I find these files and download them through these CID numbers? I don’t know the node address, so I need to download them. How to find thousands of nodes, please ask the engineer to help take a look. ---

try `ipfs get` using Kubo (you need to start `ipfs daemon` first) ---

I don’t get why you want to republish the post. I don’t know what you are hopping a « senior enginer » would do here. If you want help you should give more information like what pinning service you used, or why you belive theses CIDs might still be online. ---

> [@Jorropo](#): > > ，或者为什么您相信这些 CID 可能仍然在线。 I don’t know what my regular service is. There is a cloud storage service called Xiaolong Cloud in our country that permanently stores files based on IPFS. However, it went bankrupt last month. We can only download it through the client, but we cannot download it through IPFS desktop. Do we need a secret key or use Multiaddr to search for this CID. There is a website that I checked and it shows ✔ Successfully connected to multidr ✔ Found multimedia with 4 dht peers ❌ Could not find the multihash in the dht ❌ The peer responded that it does not have the CID May I ask what I need to do to find my file. Because I couldn’t find these CIDs on the IPFS desktop last month, but they can be downloaded normally in our software called Xiaolong Cloud. The official has promised to permanently download these files and they will never disappear. They are all in the nodes of the pin cluster. May I ask if it is related to the encrypted pin cluster. ---

I don’t know what you are talking about, IPFS itself does not promise files will be reachable forever. Other networks built on top of IPFS like lighthouse can try to provide this and IPFS works in the exchange layer. Does Xiaolong Cloud provide you a gateway you can use ? You can try adding `?format=car` to download a block archive, and then `ipfs dag import` them back in your node. ---

Xiaolong Cloud did not tell us where their gateway or node is, is there anyone who can crack it. But I am 100% certain that my files are definitely in the node. ? How to add format=car? I don’t know how to use the go language ---

`?format=car` is a URL query parameter. For example you can download `dist.ipfs.io` from the gateway like this: `curl -L https://ipfs.io/ipns/dist.ipfs.io/?format=car | ipfs dag import` ---

I don’t know Xiaolong Cloud. If they don’t publish their content on the public networks you will need to use their own solution and I don’t know anything about it. ---

Hello sir @FGGDXF . I am senior engineer. Can you give link to “check” website? Can you give link to Xiaolong Cloud software? Xialong Cloud client? This maybe in encrypted cluster. We cannot help. The Xialong Cloud officials can help, maybe. We try. ---
