i'm still fine with hotfile, but i know it's just a matter of time and i'll be shot down like many others, so i'm thinking about a possible alternative.it's quite an important decision, because i'm going to buy an annual premium on it just to keep my files alive.i already have filesonic.requirements:- as clean as possible for free users- unlimited storage- remote uploading feature (not necessary but it's a nice plus)- any kind of reward program; IDC about money, but it must at least pay for premium by itself, in the medium-long runthus the big NOs areRapidshare (of course)Megaupload (problematic in my country, and i can't browse it anyway)Mediafire (no remote and no rewards)FileFactory (500 GB for free and 2000 GB for premium? seriously?)pretty much anything else would be fine with me, but there are too many of them.... so what do you suggest?fileserve, bitshare, depositfiles, duckload, easy-share...???I would go for deposit files. you get points for free preimum time with downloads. Depending on how many d/ls you get it can pay for its selfs in no time. if you going to buy a years sub @ depositfiles let me know first as I can give you a discount code that gives you 10% offthanks for the input ircmaximum file size for free users is 2 GB;that's a nice start but i need to hear from othersThere are benifits to using a different filehoster than others normally do here. While I am not interested in these filehosters myself I have heard of Duckload being mentioned as one of the up and coming filehosters along with Filesonic. It might be worth looking into.Depositfiles is tried and true but that does not mean there are not better oppurtunities.Good Luck with whatever you decide.thank you Ceewan+1 to duckload thenbasically unlimited file size and an easy to browse interface(ugh! 1 year premium €50 = $70)I suggest you Uploading.com (keep your files forever if you are premium user). I used and I see it's a prestige file host. I love UploadingHere's my (free) downloader's perspective on duckload based on two consecutive days' attempts to access a 350mb file:download speeds of 23.6 kbps--or worse!--which works out to 4 hrs. 31 mins for the file.If it was any slower, I could actually go back in time while waiting for duckload downloads to waddle their way through cyberspace. Compared to them, rapidshare is a laser-guided missile (no, I'm not recommending RS, just drawing an unfavorable comparison with a file-hoster that's become the poster-child of bad-business practice).I hear Oron is Vladimir Putin's personal favorite...Filesonic seems to be famous nowadays...The good thing about filesonic is that most of JAV uploaders uses filesonic to upload their files, so if you sign in for premium, you are able to download the latest collections. The bad thing about filesonic is that downlaods sometimes stops at 50 % or even lesser, especially when you download more than 4 files at a time (as a premium user). So basically, its unstable, but nevertheless, a good investment if you don't mind downloading 3 to 4 files per time....These are just my experiences from using filesonic..That unstable connection might be because of my internet connection thoughthank you all guys@superjav: uhm, i never heard anything about uploading.com, and i'm not seeing it being used that much; gotta test it myself, i guess@gyozaR&B: perfect. that was exactly what i didn't want to read.TY very much for your report, because i was heading the duckload way!Quote:Originally Posted by GuyverZRiderThat unstable connection might be because of my internet connection thoughsadly, no: it just happened to me too -with jdownloader- and i was wondering what could have happenedoh well, nothing's perfect...hii dont upload, so what does it mean to get shot down, kicked out cause of the rips?thx
