It's good to hear an uploaders point of view, but this thread is asking for downloader's opinions.

Some of the filehosts are thrown out by default for someone like me.

I used rapidshare, but they delete your files after 30 days. I don't want to reupload a file if another host will keep it indefinitely.

I can't upload a file more than 200mb to mediafire. When downloading I like them the best, but for uploading it really limits you.

After that, site's where there is a daily limit. Then, one's with hour long wait times.

Do you guys like any of the site's that will upload your file to multiple hosts at once? There's also a bunch of those, but none that I like real well.

I only know of 4, none that I would consider perfect but Mir.cr seems to be the lesser of the 4 evils. They have a couple of the better hosts in their list but are missing some of the heavy hitters, such as Oron & MediaFire, and a few of the 'up and coming' file hosts that seem to be pretty decent from a downloader's perspective. I haven't checked to see if Mir.cr accepts user suggestions for adding new hosts to their stable yet but I may do that shortly.

MediaFire seems to be the crowd favorite so far but being a web developer myself, I would guess that MediaFire would be a no-go for Mir.cr given MF's complex front-end code. I'd say that it would take some work on MF's part before Mir.cr would be able to make their service compatible with that particular host.

FileMirrorUpload.com is another but it has less hosts than Mir.cr and less features.

CreateMirror.com is another and does include Oron but rest of the file hosts are pretty crappy from both a downloader & uploader's perspective. I believe a couple are even banned from the U.S. & some western European countries. Not to mention that, I think all but two hosts in their lineup are on our banned list, with good reason.

MultiShared.com is the fourth and has a pretty good lineup but isn't updated very often. They have Oron, MediaFire, RS, etc. but they also still list several of the now defunct file hosts such as WUpload. Also, it seems to be so outdated that MediaFire doesn't appear to be working, probably because of MF's site re-design a while back.

I haven't been able to download from Mediafire for weeks, all I get is:

I've noticed that too Betreid. I'm not sure what's going on. The service itself still works as I've been able to download a few non-NCF related files just in the past 2 days but on certain sites I'll click a MF mirror and get the same thing.

If I were to guess, I'd say that they're cleaning house due to the file host shake up. I have read a couple of different sources that the Federal Bureau of Ignorance and online watchdogs are supposedly going after DepositFiles, MediaFire, and a couple of others next...particularly those that pay out to uploaders.

Hopefully it's just a case of MF playing it safe, cleaning house, and waiting on it to all die down instead of closing their doors completely like so many others have done.

rapidgator seems to be taking over. much more often then not when i see dl link around the web its rapidigator. and still think they are bad

PervyMerv · 08-20-2012, 06:22 PM

It has taken 4 hours to get 200mb from rapidgator so far.

which is a shame because everybody is uploading to it.

I am a bit nervous of going premimum because they say they don't store you payment details but you are signing up for regular payments and putting your CC details into their site, somehow that doesn't add up and they do not say who their billing partner is, just seems a bit fishy to me.

And rapidshare is the only site I have payed for that hasen't closed down soon afterwards.

So for me in the UK rapidshare gets my vote (for now)

-luddite- · 08-20-2012, 08:26 PM

Rapidgator kept telling me for 2 days that I had reached my download limit, and I hadn't downloaded yet !

Filefactory has been working well lately, I haven't been asked/told to go premium for a while.

Just my 2 cents.....

for the love of God please stop using rapidgator without at lest providing another mirror.
50% of the time rapidgator will tell you your "captcha has expired - please wait 15 minutes" after your submit your captcha answer within 10 seconds.

Plus it is FILLED with false links and intentionally misleading links to a pay download service (that nobody uses)
