why filesonic instead of megaupload etc?

You need a huge amount of hits before Megaupload pays out (and they're picky about acceptable sizes). Plus the payout is waaaaaaayyyyy smaller. You need 100,000 hits for MU to give $100, Fileserve can pay up to $25 for 1,000 hits.

Of course, I've posted a bunch of uploads on both Megaupload and Fileserve. Generally by the time a MU file has 100 hits, the FS mirror only has 2-3 hits

100.000 hits? thats almost impossible.

100.000 hits? thats almost impossible.

Pretty much true for most types of files... except Pr0n

Well, it's across your entire account. Which makes it a bit easier. Compared to Fileserve needing the 1000 hits on a single file for a payout.

Yeah, I've tossed random porn out on the net before and got 20,000 hits in week. Of course the host deleted the file then, porn always violates some ToS fine print

eh i use megaupload for one reason: automatic captcha in jdownloader. rapidshare the same though i noticed it only lets you download 200mb then gives you a time out or whatever. also dont complain, if a game you like isnt in the file hoster you want just go look on another site its what i do.

Why is this in gaming music?

Because that's the only section I'm active and noticed the growth of filesonic users.

I'm not making this shit up. The highest it goes is around 30-40, sometimes 50 if I'm lucky. MU used to be pretty fast for me, but in recent months, it's been like this.

MU is fickle about speeds. I can get 1mb/s but, on random files it drops to 400, or 20 - 120kb/s.

That's right but most of the time MU is a lot faster and more stable than filesonic.

good filehosters are (in my opinion):
- mirrorcreator.com
- megaupload.com
- mediafire.com

usable filehosters:
- rapidshare.com

slow and user unfriendly:
- filesonic

unusable:
- filefactory

iFile is decent, they don't have download limits. I usually get good rates with Fileserve but the 30 minute wait between files is troublesome.

[darkjusticex]

I read somewhere that MU discriminates download speeds based on your region. I don't know if that's true... but I live in america. And I always get 250 to 350 kb/sec out of MU...

[Destrudo]

Those annoying File Hosters give you money for when your files get downloaded, that is the only reason.

I only use mega and media, unlike them im just trying to spread great images for everyone to enjoy.

Amen, brother

Offtopic:
MU and MF all the way, but MU needs the the "enable Premium" in check after configing your account for a slight speedup

Maybe not that much faster, about 50kb-150kb tops, instead of shit , but @ least it's on a free account

The ONLY 2 I Like is MediaFire and Megaupload. Filesonic and Fileserve just run me around and make me wait 3 hours between files, Rapidshare makes me wait ages if its a multi part.

Also I Know you lot love your JDownloader but you should all give MiPony a look, it supports dlc files ect ect and may give better speeds for ya I dunno, its a worthy alternative

I've used ifile.it for a while now......always use the remote upload function
They recently extended the time they keep your files (if they haven't been dl'd) which is good.
Totally free filehost (with resume), but I guess not many ppl are interested in using it
