    Question why filesonic instead of megaupload etc?

    Why do more and more users use filesonic instead of other filehosters like megaupload or mediafire for example?
    Without a filesonic premium account it becomes harder and harder to download all the god stuff. And I have not enough money to purchase a premium account for every filehoster.

    So if I compare the free download options of filesonic and amegaupload
    - megaupload is a lot faster
    - you don't have to wait 15minutes between downloads on megaupload
    - you don't need a captcha for megaupload

    - and mediafire even supports parallel downloads

    so what are the advantages of filesonic?
    If one of my files is down please send me a pm and I will reupload it as soon as possible!

    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.

    Megaupload is actually ridiculously slow for me 90% of the time. And I mean really slow. Like 10 Kbyte/sec. Mediafire is really good, though.

    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.

    hey guys i had used megaupload for almost 12 years when i was 12 years old it is really good , you can resume your download even after 10 days on other hosts like mediafire.com or fileserve or filesonic or rapidshare or hotfile these does not provide this facility , you can use dap premium for acceleration in your download speed but i would reccommend you jdownloader its ossom , about using filesonic they just want to earn money because it provides a good amount on 10000 downloads of your file i hope this will help you guys

    You used Megaupload in 1999... you just created a Time Paradox, lol



    I only use MF for uploads... only one for which I get decent speed

    Don' worry, it won't hurt... that much!

    as far as i know you can earn money with megaupload as well.

    on topic: megaupload is my fave filehoster as well since its fast and the download limit is reasonable enough, it also has surprisingly little ads which is a nice bonus.
