The result of a discussion found here, this list will hopefully help keep uploaders aware of problematic file hosts and help keep files accessible to everyone. Help us expand it! If you know of a file host that fits either of these categories, please list them in a reply (or PM) along with the category they fall under. I will update this list as more hosts are submitted.

NOTE: This list is for information purposes only. This is NOT the official list of banned file hosts (unless noted below). The Official NCF Banned File Host List is part of the Forum Rules and can be found there instead.


File hosts that require a paid premium account to download files :
(all premium-only file hosts are banned per forum rules 07a & 07b)

http://www.mojofile.com
http://filecamp.com
https://md5file.com
http://www.safesync.com/
http://filetechnology.com (banned if over 200MB)
http://www.filehost.ws (banned if over 100MB)


File hosts that have country restrictions:

http://storebit.net
http://www.unibytes.com
http://turbobit.net (banned)
http://www.edoc.com/


Other questionable file hosts:

http://www.filefactory.com (very limited # of global d/l slots)
http://www.uploading.com (3 downloads per day max)
http://www.share-files.com (taking surveys required to d/l)

The "General failure." error means that either your ping is not getting outside of your local network or something is blocking it. There is a quick & easy way to tell if it's something on your end or something on their end. Restart -> keep tapping F8 -> at the Safe Mode screen, select "Safe Mode with Networking". Once it's loaded up, try pinging bitshare.com both by host name and also by IP address.

If both will ping in Safe Mode, the problem is security software or a firewall on your comp. If it will ping by IP but not the domain name, it's a DNS issue. If neither will ping, it's definitely a problem on their end.

If it does turn out to be an issue on their end, I'm certain it's not caused by a country restriction because we are both in the U.S. w/ U.S. IP addresses...just different ISPs. However, it is possible that they may have your ISP blocked or possibly just your IP range...but we'd need another Comcast user to help us to confirm that.

uploading.com is also questionable. free users may only download 3 or 5 files a day no matter what the total size of the files is. 3 or 5 because I don't remember if the files I downloaded last night count as today or not (time zone issue).

EDIT: I downloaded 1 20mb file today and then I tried to download another one:

Sorry, you have reached your daily download limit.
Please try again tomorrow or acquire a premium membership.

The limit is 3 files. I tried again today.
Corrected. Thanks!

** DEAD LINK REMOVED **.to doesn't block American ips any more. And hasn't for a month. Not sure if it blocks anyone else(though I doubt it).

I can vouch for the U.S. at least. Their downloads are working for me on both domains. I can't speak for the powers that be, but the admins may (or may not) take this into consideration if ** DEAD LINK REMOVED **.to/ul.to no longer has any country restrictions in place. Thanks for the info!

I can corroborate the U.S. availability, actually works quite well for me.

First time I've come across this host: http://www.pigsonic.com/, haven't as of yet been able to even get to the dl link (connection times out). Anyone else have any experience with them?

On a side note, since I mentioned the netload resurgence in another thread speeds have drastically plummetted... coincidence? :lol:

Why don't people use mediafire, I downloaded a 200mb file a couple of days ago and it took about 15-20 minutes to complete.
mediafire is great for downloaders but not so much for uploaders.
Web upload is the only option for uploaders with free account. While it's stable, my general observation is that upload speeds are relatively slow compared to some other hosts.

They are also quick to terminate entire accounts if they get any dmca notices (3 strikes maybe). Generally speaking, this is a good thing but uploaders don't like it so much. Like RS, mediafire also don't offer any rewards for downloads/premium sales.

That pretty much says it all... in the poll from the 'Best Filehost for Downloading' thread mediafire & rapidshare account for 21 of the 29 total votes, with oron the only other to receive more than 1 vote. It's this pervading mentality to make a buck off of anything and everything, I guarantee you if they started offering rewards (which I hope they never do) you'd see them being used a lot more around here.

Firstly THANK YOU for the efforts in all you guys do

To the subject at hand;
May I say that I have had a lot of trouble from extabit.com.
Might be a country restriction, but not so sure.

I'd just like to show some support for rapidgator... works quite well for me here in the midwest U.S. (with a premium account). I know there's a member here who's currently lobbying against them, I'd like to know a little more about the nature of his/her experiences with them if possible.
