Questionable File Hosts

[-KA-]

I think that member is me. I have never had a successful dl from Rapidgator. Then again I don't have a premium account either.

I had a recent experience with HotFile,I've downloaded about 15 files with no captchas asked and at aroungd 600-700 kb/s (no premium account).Reminded me of the good old Megaupload.:mrgreen:

Yeah, currently Hotfile, Dead Link Removed (or something like that) are the best. Currently downloading a 1.3gb file from ryushare.com for the first time, so far so good. Just 30 seconds wait time with no catchpa.

Mediafire has devolved from Great to good. They've added catchpa.

Rapidshare sucks balls for free users. I downloaded the same file as above as free user and the download failed twice, first time after 400MB (at 30kbps) and second time after 40mb.

You get the captcha box only if you download many files in a short period. I think that's acceptable. MF is still the best for downloaders by far.
Hotfile is pretty good but unfortunately, the files don't stay alive for long. They are very quick to terminate entire accounts. HF posts usually have dead links. :neutral:
With regards to rapidgator, I dont' download a lot but I've been successful in downloading reasonably large files (~200MB) at 150-200 KBPS as a free user. It is certainly not the the worst filehost out there.
I am considering uploading my files to http://www.freeuploads.fr. To me, it looks like a great host. I'm able to download at speeds >1MBPS as a free user.

There's a new (to me) file host being used... http://azushare.net. I haven't been able to dl anything from 3 different links so far (dl never starts). Anyone know anything about this host?

Also, I don't know how many of you are aware of this but Oron could well be the next host to go down as a lawsuit has been filed against them. Here's a link for those interested, http://newswire.xbiz.com/view.php?id=150218.

I got "Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections" when I clicked on an azushare link.
If it doesn't work for any of the other mods, it will most likely be banned.

update: azushare appears to be working now.

I haven't been able to connect to http://www.easybytez.com/ for a few days now, anyone else having this problem? I get nothing but connection times out pages.

Thanks Betreid, must be a problem on my end... times out in about 5-6 seconds for me.

easybytez timed out on me too...It could work on my other computer...will try it later tonight.

Depositfiles now want your cellphone number to send an SMS to you before downloading, WTF is going on?

It probably has something to do with this... http://torrentfreak.com/paypal-bans-major-file-hosting-services-over-piracy-concerns-120710/. Greed is eventually going to kill file-sharing, that much seems evident.

are you a free or premium user?
I downloaded a file as a free user just now. I was not asked for a cell phone number.

If you found that on this site, please report the post.

Looks like Oron.com went offline or they blocked out the USA.

 

[jackx1]

Strange now US IPs are no longer blocked. For a while was only able to get on there thru proxy. Weird.

Oron browser download seems to be working here. Haven't tried with jdownloader yet. I've been having issues with it, probably the new update will fix it.

Deposhitfiles - well, as I only use jdownloader I did not have the isse you guys talked about above. Oh and they've added this fantastic feature for free users - they allow continuing paused or broken downloads. Speeds are still shit though.

Gamefront.com seems to be the best right now.

It took a few days,but Oron is back with JDownloader :canada:

 

[jackx1]

Now multiple sites are saying Oron is gone and that its been offline for nearly 2 days.
It may have to do with they havent been able to pay their hosts due to legal fees.

Update page for Oron:

http://premiumaccount.info/1338/oron-filehoster-down/

I'm adding this because googling this info - well it seems to be non-existent.

 

[luddite]

the info is available on Torrentfreak. It's the reason we haven't removed Oron links yet.
