Long story short, Megaupload is cracking down on almost all the files we've put on their site, and the uploads with game music on their site are being invalidated at an alarming rate.

We need to spread the word that using Megaupload is no longer an option and find which sites are more friendly for us and to see if we can get a prefered site to replace Megaupload.

Site name and max amount of memory you can upload for each file.

I've aways dislike MegaButtload for its annoying download limit but now it's getting rid of all of my favorite video game music too? If you don't mind I'll spread the word in my signature too.

Heh, what do you think of the new signature? Pretty accurate I'd say. :)

You think you can post the code so other people can use what you made for you sig?

I agree! MediaFire is the best.
megaupload is bad, but . . . Sendspace is EEEEEEEEVIL! EEEVIL I TELL YOU!

Badongo is good, though I just download from them, I haven't uploaded anything to them. Very fast speeds.

though they have that file split thing that gets people. I know a simple way around that.

Yeah, it stinks that MU is cracking down on that. Maybe I should go warn another site I visit about that because they use MU to upload their files for users who are unable to use torrents.

Yup, sure, here's the code:



Attention!

MegaUpload hates us! (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=878233&postcount=1)

Yeah Mediafire rocks, no download limit, I love that!

I changed the preferred one to filefactory now. it has a large file size, it keeps files for a while, no super restrictive download limits, simultaneous downloads, etc.

It's really simple to use, there are no upload/download limits, it's free, you don't have to register and your files never get removed.

But there is a catch... If you don't register, you only have 30MB max limit... :(

Plunder (http://plunder.com)

sendspace.com

300 MB per file.

The thing about megaupload is when i download there files, that stupid download limit exceeded comes up, ive been waiting for 3 hours straight in order to download the second part of my soundtrack.

Here's a nice site, allows you to use rapidshare downloads and not have to deal with the wait time in between.

http://rapidbush.dr.ag/?rsfile=

the problem is the more these sites become popular the more restrictions they throw up to limit traffic

I concur.

That is exactly what happened with RapidGrab. At first you could use it to download from RapidShare with impunity, but now, they implemented registration where you need to be a part of their select group of website using RapidGrab or something now.

NO SENDSPACE!! NOOOOOOOO
my face is melting meeeeeeeelttinggggggg...

4SHARED! (http://www.4shared.com)
100 MB size limitation, but i always get high speeds from them. Also, I guess, one can download multiple files at once.

I have been using sharebee a lot lately, too. =)

edit: Just discovered DivShare (http://www.divshare.com). Sounds really nice ("Upload your videos, photos and other files, and we'll host them forever, for free.").Plus, very little ad and wait time. ;-)

Just some insight on this thread...MediaFire and Divshare both are unlimited in the amount of files you can upload and keep them forever...but actually, I've seen both delete albums which they say were against their user agreements/copywritten stuff.

I advise people who upload to these sites (also, MediaFire is faster to download from) to make an encrypted archive of songs, title it with something inconspicuous, and upload it while posting the password (and hopefully those sites don't read the forums since they can track back where the hits are coming from).

If you're uploading to MediaFire which doesn't allow encrypted archives, and if the filesize of the archive is larger than say 95MB, then add it to another archive and split the archives into 95MB pieces, since most of the time the final size would be increased from 95MB to around 100MB, which is the filesize limit of what you can upload to MediaFire. Then you can upload all the archives fine while the content is encrypted.

Cheers!

The upload sites probably receive anyway the info about the referrer of the links and that may be the reason why the files are deleted; in the forums of the site snesorama.us the administrator wrote this:

DO NOT POST LIVE LINKS. Code them. Any links NOT CODED will be DELETED on sight.
Coding the links is necessary to prevent the hosting sites to see the referrer, which is snesorama.us. if they see the referrer, they will check back and see the copyrighted material on their server. and will delete the files. Don't let it happen to you.

So I strongly suggest that all users code all links and ffshrine allows the coding of the links (to wrap all links with the CODE tag) as ocurred in snesorama.

Just select the text with the mouse and then press on the "#" icon (in "normal reply" or "advanced edit"), the "wrap CODE tags around selected text". The links will appear like this:

Why are Megaupload being such jerks about this?

Isnt there site specifically designed for regular individuals providing downloads?

MU kinda slow and annoying
thanks for this info.

anyway im new here, hope to make new friends here hahaha :P

Hopefully this really will mean the end of Megacrapload usage...

Request for this topic to be stickied?

or, the admin can always filter 'http' to 'hxxp' (like in various bbs).

I've never had a technical problem with Megaupload. D: I don't like the fake "44 second" wait time though. My friend said that she's been having problems ever since she used it once. Something about, it only downloads a part of the file?
Mediafire is the best site though. ;D I don't have to wait.

OF course its fake.

Its 44 seconds regardless of how popular the file is and what time of day it is.

Well, it looks like MediaFire is the only good one left, DivShare has downgraded users to only 5GB of storage.

Mediafire deleted a whole bunch of my links before so its a fail for me.

Yeah but if you encrypt the archives/encrypt the MediaFire file, make the upload unidentifiable in the file name, and just code the links you give out on here I don't think they'll do anything because they wouldn't be able to tell what the heck it is.

Bump to awareness

hey m8's i'll try host a few i suppose, any i find and download i'll put up, i have a resseller account which isn't in use much now, tried to cancel but they won't gimme my money back (a whole year!) so gonna try host some websites for people and make my money back.
But yea i'll host a few, mainly snes =P

You can get around the 100MB limit of most of these sites by doing .RAR files spread across several archives, i.e. file.rar, file.r00, file.r01, etc. That's the easiest way to deal w/ sites like Badongo that have their own (crappy) method of splitting files, or just outright rejecting anything over their upload file size limit.

http://www.filedropper.com/ (5 GB)

i definitely agree with not to use megaupload... here some good alternatives-->

www.mihd.net
www.ifile.it
www.sendspace.com

all three of them are useful and qualified, free sharing sites... i recomend them... especially mihd.net (ifile.it is the secondary server and the new domain of it, but both of them in use with same popularity) - but in my opinion, rapidshare.com still is the best for sure=)...

Let's also not forget (because you all seem to) about divShare. 5gb Free, 200mb File Size Restriction, No Download Limits, Files Stay Online Forever, No Wait For Downloads, Direct Download Links, and Simultaneous Downloads. Never had them gripe about video game soundtracks either.

http://www.divshare.com

Media Fire and Badongo are very good file hosting sites however, I know also some ones which are way better than MegaUpload:

http://www.la.gg and http://www.fileden.com

And yeah, I�ve been facing the "Download Limit Exceeded" screen... :(

power off & on you internet box & the"Download Limit Exceeded" will be reset.

I'll sticky this thread for awhile to get the word around instead of bumping it now and again.

i've been using aniup for a little while. 250MB upload limit. no download limits as far as i can tell.

http://www.aniup.com/

Been using Megaupload for a couple of years and I've had no trouble.

Filehosting sites can see whats in an encrypted RAR file so make sure you check the box to encrypt the contents aswell. So then even double-clicking the RAR file to view the contents will require a password.

And stop doing this:

http://www.megaupload.com/


code your links like this:


http://www.megaupload.com/

that way they can't be traced back to this site!!

Ah, that's why I've seen links like that. I've always wondered why some people did it like that.

http://openpirate.com/

mediafire is the greatest. it has one of the fastest download speeds for alot of alot of high speed connections also.

just out of curiosity, does esnips count?

i hate mediafire. Everytime i go to the site it lags like crazy, and the downloads are slow to start.

And i've always liked megaupload. Unlike rapidshare, theres no 15 minute wait between each download

The most important argument pro megaupload is, that the links will last a long time, instead of mediafire and sendspace. You can forget the last two ones, because the links haven't a long living duration. Rapidshare is o.k., but I must admit: the 15 minute break disturbs much of the download comfort.

Of all sites here mentioned megaupload has proved to be the most reliable for me. I've had no problems at all while downloading and I've been doing it for some time now.
I do have serious problems with rapidshare though, they never let me resume anything and the downloads are freaking slow.

And do not forget the advantage, that megaupload has no time limits, instead of rapidshare or depositfiles!

Plus, rapidshare files are often protected by passwords. I suppose there's a strong reason for doing this but it's such a bug.

Hey, for some reason, MegaUpload doesn't have the download restrictions for me. I can download whatever I want how many times I want. But the only restriction I have is that I can't download more than 1 at a time. But hey, i'm not complaining. It's free! :)

You're probably registered. That happens to me as well. With the toolbar you get premium download during happy hours.

But on to what I originally wanted to post. I'm using megaupload for my files at the moment, but really want to change upload sites. Does Filefactory have a longer upload period than megaupload? I honestly can't deal with re-uploading a file into megaupload every three months that get neglected by users in any site I post them up. That's truely a hassle to me.

Thanks in advance for the info.

filefactory, depositfiles, hotfile all have the same 90 day non-download policy as megaupload

for large files megashares is pretty awesome...10gb single file uploads! but 15 day non-download retention...and it would probably take like a year to up a 10 gig file anyways

http://www.zshare.net/

Since I haven't seen anyone mentioning this great host so I'm gonna post it here. Hope it helps! :3

Yeah I have to agree with the whole Mega Upload thingy... but there are tonnes of sites out there that will allow you to download anime (episodes and music albums) and most of them have direct download as well as torrents. It's just a matter of searching around a little!!! Good luck everyone!

Nevermind.

Oh Gods.. please have Rapidshare removed from this list... I can NEVER download anything from Rapidshare, I start to download something, it starts and after a second, the download just stops, then when I try to pause and resume, the download fails and Rapidshare will say I'm already downloading a file.

I really hate the ****ing site, there's so much I couldn't download because ****ing Rapid**** wouldn't ****ing work.

u probably share an ip address star wars guy...try a proxy

u probably share an ip address star wars guy...try a proxy

No, I've still had issues with it on other computers, it's just a bad f-ing site. It should be removed from this list.

Megaupload hates this forum? Huh. I've used Megaupload myself and have never had any issues with them on deleting my files. You people are paranoid.

let them kill MU,

& use it ;)

MU & MediaFire (for archive smaller than 100mo) are the best combo that i used till now.

otherwise i know that some people can't unfortunately access to some free hosters. sad thing...

MediaFire, GigaSize, and Filedropper are the best in my opinion.

MediaFire is almost perfect, but it can only take files less than 100MB.
GigaSize can take up to 600MB per file if you register for a free account, but only stores files for 45 days.
Filedropper has 5GB per file limit, so you can post huge files, and it's pretty cheap to make an account, but overall it's problematic.

So overall, I'd go with MediaFire. Then again, Megaupload's 45 second wait can be ignored with certain methods. Some Firefox plugins can remove the wait from sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc. Illimitux is probably the better of some of the others. SkipScreen has a habit of sometimes breaking links. But that still doesn't stop Megaupload from removing files.

What about MegaFTP.com ?
It's got a no download limit and upload up to 500MB.

No, I've still had issues with it on other computers, it's just a bad f-ing site. It should be removed from this list.

Just because YOU have problems with the site, it doesn't mean that everyone else does.

I don't see the point of this thread. Every server will eventually delete your files, no matter what. I've seen Megaupload files that were up for months.

4shared.com is another alternative

http://www.youshare.com

Its a cool site, if you are a registered user (its free), you can upload up to 1gb, you can mannage your archives in galleries, good download speed, and the best, No Waiting Time 4 Downloads.
It's pretty new, but its a good one, it works very fine for me, you can give it a try.
Sorry for my bad english.

looks very good,
but what about the DL limit? if there is one.

thanks for the infos.

In Youshare you can make simultaneus downloads if you wish, i'm downloading 2 files at the same time, i do not try whit 3 o 4 yet.

Perhaps Badongo would be a good alternative as well?

http://www.badongo.com

They have great data rates and a very generous daily download limit (4.8 gigabytes) for free. Plus, anyone who registers there can expect their files to stay up for 90 days.

Just a suggestion.

I hate to say it but rapidshare sucks even more! 15 minutes to download each file. I wish people would stop uploading there especially when movies or other files are split into parts. I have a megaupload account so that,s were I'm hosting. other than that Mediafire is a good option too.

Would you rather have to wait an inordinate amount of time proportional to the size of the file you just downloaded?

Waiting 15 minutes between downloading is so much better than what RapidShare used to be like before. Quit whining.

One more I've found:

DivShare (http://www.divshare.com/) (5GB) (NO TIME LIMIT)

The web hosting site 110MB has the "ultimate list of web file hosting" on there forums, and theres over 100 different sites on that list. I'd Post the link now, but it appears the forum crashed, so I'll post a link to it when it becomes available again (They don't want people to post the list on other sites).

Hey what about sendspace

Up To 300mb

Unlimited Downloads

www.sendspace.com

hey I like MU I actually have an account there and I actually buy subs unlike some people who try to hack it. the problem lays in rapidshares servers being raidshare .de or rapidshare .com is totally different and have to have account at both place so that bull but I hate some of the free sites that only give you a miger 20kbs per second but at megaupload at some places I get 800kbs to 1mb per a second or the lowest 40kbs..

MegaUpload has become much, much better over the past year. Not only do their links last very long, but they give you a generous download limit before you have to wait and their speeds are incredibly fast.

Everyone should be using the MegaUpload Time Attack (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11704) Firefox extension. It enlarges the captcha so it's easy to read and it automatically starts the download after entering captcha. There's no need to click anything.

I would recommend ADrive (http://www.adrive.com/). It gives you 50 gigabytes for FREE! and you can link to files and zips easily.

it takes photos, docs, zips, favourites, and music.

u can change a file to private or public as u wish.

u can see how many times that file has been downloaded.

it allows batch uploads, and can see files within multiple folders.





Sharebee is also good. I use that too.

How abot www.filefront.com?Or www.box.net?

Dont know if anyone posted this :

http://ifile.it/
~ 300MB per file
~ Dont support parallel connection but support resume downloading
~ How long files are kept :
- Guest users
* 7 days after last download
- Free registered users:
* 90 days after last download for files below 100MB
* 30 days after last download for files above 100MB
* 14 days after last download for files above 200MB

This hosts speed varies, usually not too great but they support resume downloading and is a great alternative for users having problem with RS :)

http://www.filedropper.com/ (5 GB)

Seconded, I have never had a problem with FileDropper it is quick, clean and easy. =)

MediaFire has just updated to 200MB per file and infinite maximum space.

MegaUpload can go up from 700KB to 3MB per second for me, so it's good for downloading. Hosting, not so much.

Ammm... Windows Live have a service for store files "in the clouds". This service have 25 GB of storage, but... , the size per file limit is 50 MB (so bad), but you can store part to part of an Album... xD.

For use this service, you need to have a Windows Live ID (Messenger, Xbox Live, Microsoft Passport), you can try other alternatives.

Yeah, MediaFire looks like it's the best one so far.
Then if MegaUpload isn't bad anymore, then it's second.
Then anything else that clocks out at over 1 Megabyte per second for me, and I have a fairly weak Internet, but it's not 20Kbps for 1 flash file.

http://www.rapidshare.com (100 MB)



RS supports 200mb ups not 100mb.

mediafire doesnt allow anymore encrypted archives. You can remove it from the list...

try 4shared.com

Tip on the MU: add mgr_dl.php between the / and ? in the download to skip the CAPTCHA/Wait Time.

I've never had problems with FileFactory or Media Fire, Filedropper randomly breaks links though... very frustrating at times.

That no longer works. I use DepositFiles.

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but Rapidshare is starting to delete files after 60 days on January 1st, 2010 for free accounts and also premium accounts that use 50GB and up, so expect expiring links.

Everyone should be using the MegaUpload Time Attack Firefox extension. It enlarges the captcha so it's easy to read and it automatically starts the download after entering captcha. There's no need to click anything.


Even better than that is the [Hidden link. Registered to show this.] with firefox or the [Hidden link. Registered to show this.] that does it for you.

Click, wait, it's downloaded.

open source. win win

I prefer hotfile as they support FTP upload. Anyone who cannot understand how to use an FTP client is an imbecile. Sites that claim "FTP is too complicated so we do X instead" is full of bullsh*t.

no FTP upload option for free users? don't bother with it unless it offers exceptionally awesome features

Anyone who cannot understand how to use an FTP client is an imbecile.


The fuck?

I think he's saying that because it's incredibly easy. However, I'm not sure if it's easy to encode that type of service onto a site. But if a site does use it, then it has to be good. btw, divShare upped their free server space to 10gb instead of just 5. I'd change my Signature, but the site won't let me.


I would recommend ADrive (http://www.adrive.com/). It gives you 50 gigabytes for FREE! and you can link to files and zips easily.


However, it seems that it only gives you a 14 day trial for the free server space, unless I read it wrong.

Thanks for the info, its useful,

Mediafire IS good (I use it all the time), just be sure to log in once before two months goes by or else your stuff is erased.

So that's why my Gametunes Projects FAQs (and the downloading of any one of them) has gotten no response......

People do not realize this thread was started in 2007.

Megaupload is THE BEST host to use these days. They have no speed limit on their files, they actually last LONGER than RapidShare these days (the links,) you can use jDownloader with it, and you can download up to 6 files back to back (one at a time though) per every 10 minutes... You cannot beat that.

Also thought I might post this(incase you didn't already know this) Rapidshare has taken down a lot of the links due to their "copyright content", so Rapidshare is another out of the question.

@Helgen-X - If you read the beginning post, Megaupload had taken a lot of their links down they've posted, I've found a ton of dead links that led to Megaupload, don't get me wrong, Megaupload is great for a lot of big files, but deadlinks is not cool either. :/

It's simple.... If you have your account on Megaupload, you have things much easier + If you're not and idiot and won't post for example ''Gorillaz - Plastic Beach 2010.zip'' but rename it as ''Mighty Duck 4000.zip'' or ''BBO.zip''.
Also you have always the option of lock your file with password.

If you will post some copyrighted material in it's original name, it will get deleted everywhere by the time. The prevention is pretty easy, but 90% are not doing it and then they are angry that their files got deleted and uploading them each week like crazy.

speedyshare.com maximum file size 200 MB

http://www.adrive.com/ is an excellent file-hosting site. 50GB free storage space.

because people were and still are doing stupid shit like using anonym.to, not encoding the file names, not putting a password on the file, and giving the file names and descriptions like "Complete Final Fantasy VII Soundtrack Rip from Final Fantasy Shrine"

What about
www.hotfile.com

I think is good one, It's about (400MB)

Mediafire is one of the best, Rapidshare is also great, Megaupload is great when they don't remove a file because files they host can usually last YEARS if they stay on lol. Sendspace isn't that good because of the wait and the limit AND files don't last that long on it.

sendspace.com

300 MB per file.

i have friends that use sendspace, it is very reliable. i've gotten their files off the site for over a year now.

If you can deal with smaller download limits it's better to use multiple mirror uploaders http://editthis.info/wiki42/Uploads

in my opinion, i dont like filefactory. if a download freezes, u have to wait half an hour to try again. so i dont recommend that site.

Try "www.hotfile.com", it loads links into simple pages, but don't remember the details as to max uploads/downloads. I like it.

Megaupload is not only bad because of their removal of our files, but because they have several ads that can pop up even with a pop-up blocker, and they put pornographic spyware on your computer. In my opinion, MediaFire is the best alternative.

Well...

Thread 109011

the best one to use, IMO, is MultiUpload, as it uploads to its own servers, then to many other sites.

That's great. Now I'm going to have to re-upload all my goddamn crap.

Well...

Megaupload no longer gonna be called MU, now MultiUpload will be :p

we'll have to refer to it as "MU that was..."

divShare!

Seriously. Perfect for uploading music files to. No passwords, or download waits. You can also set the files to direct links. I don't see why no one else uses it here.

5gb free server space isn't really good for the majority of people. I have over 200gb of uploaded music.

Makes sense. I suppose you could use more than one site though. Well, at the moment, I have 10gb of space for free, and I still haven't filled that up yet. Course, my collection isn't nearly as massive as your's is, Jessie.

As a side note; I just downloaded some soundtracks from MediaFire, and they seemed to provide quick downloads, with no waits. What are the restrictions for hosting there?

i believe its 200 MB per file. i once used that site as well as megaupload.

As a side note; I just downloaded some soundtracks from MediaFire, and they seemed to provide quick downloads, with no waits. What are the restrictions for hosting there?


Max upload size is 200mb, but I find anything 180mb and over is usually corrupted without fail and anything around 150ish up to 180 also has a good chance of coming out corrupt. I usually try to make parts of files 100-120 or less (preferably less) and I find most times anything 80mb or less usually never come out corrupt. The good side is infinite parallel downloads.

edit - I always test MF links before posting them.

Well, that goes without saying for any service. But good to know, thanks for the insight!

5gb free server space isn't really good for the majority of people. I have over 200gb of uploaded music.

Well, I did a little digging through divShare's subscription fees when I noticed people were saying that they were PAYING for premium accounts on file sharing sites such as MegaUpload (reference the MegaUpload Shutdown thread). So I've come up with divShare's rates. They are starting out free accounts with 20gb storage/unlimited bandwidth. If you upgrade at 39.99/yr you receive 100gb storage with unlimited bandwidth. The Professional Account is not even worth mentioning because the rates for that are ridiculously expensive, though for a personal account at just over $3 a month, it's cheaper than running a website with a hosting plan.

At this point in time, if you were intending on paying for a premium membership, divShare might be your best bet.

Once again, you are given a 2gb upload limit, and files stay online forever.

ok

I think this thread could possibly be closed now, considering how ironic it is that we CAN'T use MegaUpload anymore.

add this too: Send Big Files Free | File To Link (http://www.filetolink.com) (2GB or more)

(((: the best!! see you

I think this thread could possibly be closed now, considering how ironic it is that we CAN'T use MegaUpload anymore.

I disagree. In fact it's more useful now more than ever as this thread has a huge list of alternative upload sites that no other thread had. Course, I wouldn't complain if a huge master list was created to encompass all of the suggested sites and their benefits.

Perhaps a name change might be in order?

I'm surprised no one has already mentioned this as a viable alternative to any upload site, but I shall be the first. Buy a domain for $10, get a hosting plan with a nice package that gives you a decent amount of bandwidth and plenty of server space for $10 to $30 a month. Depending on your needs, you can generally find some pretty good deals. Sarah's costs are inflated because she created a community that drew so much bandwidth that it forced her to expand. With a community that shares their own hosting, dedicated hosting would not be a problem, especially if you were going to exclusively use it for download links.

There are plenty of services to choose from, namely goDaddy, Host Monster, or Just Host. You can usually find something that'll fit your needs.

I don't normally proselytize my business here, but I do offer plenty of affordable hosting and website packages. You don't even need to be a web developer to be able to do this. Either go to ModularityNet.com or call 888.770.8284 if you have any questions. Ask for Dave.
