suggested uploading sites & related discussion

Sarah · 10-06-2006, 05:13 PM

these are roughly in order of preference, ie, the ones I consider best are listed first (though you're free to comment, suggest new services, etc).

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] - max file size 250mb, files last for 30 days.

that's the only "big one" that has a long retention rate.

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] - files last for 7 days without activity, speed capped (?)
[Hidden link. Register to see links.] - recently changed to 7 day file expiration, sendspace is probably better

some ones that haven't really been tried out but may work well (let us know ~):

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]
[Hidden link. Register to see links.] (claims 500mb file sizes, 30 day expiration-- sounds good)
[Hidden link. Register to see links.] (100mb, lasts 30 days)

**Eriol** · 10-06-2006, 09:17 PM

how about [Hidden link. Register to see links.] it claims to host the file forever

Change that [Hidden link. Register to see links.], into [Hidden link. Register to see links.], and we're set. ^^

Here's the catch, though, from the little bottom segment.

Free Accounts purge unused files after 30 days.
With a Turbo Account, files are not deleted until YOU decide.
Membership starts at $5.99/month. With TONS of extra features included, why not sign-up TODAY!

**Sentenza** · 10-08-2006, 03:09 PM

How about megashares? I haven't tried it but it seems good. File Factory also deserves a spot on that list.

**cstrife0777** · 10-09-2006, 12:30 AM

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] is fine, but like SendSpace, I'm getting speed caps of around 50 KB/s.

....downloading a 300 MB file is not going to be pretty :/

[Hidden link. Register to see links.], I just keep downloading the htm files, not the file itself for whatever reason.

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] is the same way like Zupload for me.

**Mario Kinnikuman** · 10-10-2006, 01:17 AM

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Let's take a gander at this.

Sarah · 10-10-2006, 01:19 AM

wow, gigasize.com looks impressive. people should try that sometime, see how it goes. claims 90 day expiration with 1GB file size.

edit: let's try sharebig.com, too. 1.5GB limit, 100 day expiration.

edit edit: looks like the wiki is massively out of date. gigasize is 300mb / "45 days minimum"

**cstrife0777** · 10-10-2006, 01:23 AM

wow, even if you don't register: 300 MB and it lasts for 45 days!

*starts uploading*

well, looks like gigasize is a new favorite for me

*uploading to sharebig now...*

I get an error trying to upload a file. Oh well...

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] is pretty good too. Seems a little slower compared to Gigasize, Rapidshare, maybe even MegaUpload.

**Freehaven** · 10-30-2006, 06:23 PM

Just found a brand new upload site called [Hidden link. Register to see links.] which seems to fix a lot of the complaints that most other sites generate -- unlimited (and multiple simultaneous) downloads, and unlimited uploads with no filesize cap. Looks good to me, and I thought you guys might want to know about it.

**cstrife0777** · 10-31-2006, 12:12 AM

MediaFire is a great site as well, I get about the same downloading speed when compared to Rapidshare. I don't really get why an upload has to be verified, just adds more time to the upload, but I guess it just prevents corrupted files. Signing up on this file hoster

**thephoenixlives** · 11-03-2006, 10:44 AM

Megaupload is asking that I sign up for OMFG FREE LAPTOP before I download anything today. I think I'm gonna avoid it for now, at least until I know I won't get flooded with spam or become enraged in some other way.

Edit: Seems to be gone for now. It might have just been the first attempted download for the day.

**cstrife0777** · 11-03-2006, 11:58 AM

I'm not having any problems with MegaUpload, uploading or downloading.

EDIT: Looks like MegaUpload has increased the file size to 500 MB now.

rapidshare.com (COM) is pretty cool

Not sure if it will last long tho. Probably all the "pleasures" of rapidshare.DE will come back after they get enough popularity in the COM domain.

**xxx123** · 11-08-2006, 05:49 AM

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

This looks pretty good, guys.

**Nostalgia Bringer** · 11-10-2006, 07:52 AM

good trick on badongo is signing up for a free account and update (the process is just clicking on update, no re-uploading needed!) your files every 30 days, that way your files are NEVER deleted, i've done it, it's tested, it works.

**Graeystone** · 12-27-2006, 07:53 PM

In my experience, Megaupload is a whole lot friendlier than Rapdishare. RS is really. . .'cranky' as of late.

**marbu** · 01-31-2007, 07:43 AM

hi guys! I gotta recommend you [Hidden link. Register to see links.]. It NEVER deletes the files, it does not limit the speed, neither for uploading nor downloading (i got amazing download speeds when downloading from there!) and there's no limit in the amount of files you can download per day! Oh, and also, you cand download or upload all the files you want at the same time. And if you don't like web interfaces, you can also upload files through webDAV.

So what's the catch? well, the system is still pretty buggy, so it's difficult to upload big files, but this is supposed to get better with the time :P. They have also stated that they're not going to become a megaupload or rapidshare, they're aimed to create a youtube o del.icio.us kind of site, but for files

.

give it a try, you wont regret

**clan_commander** · 02-24-2007, 11:06 AM

FILEFRONT!

**suikoyen** · 03-01-2007, 11:22 PM

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] - better than mediafire, excellent
[Hidden link. Register to see links.] - highly recommend this

**dephyre** · 03-09-2007, 12:34 PM

I've been using [Hidden link. Register to see links.] lately for music. This process is a bit... convoluted if you want a direct mp3 link.
(You have to view the .xml from the embed code it gives you for uploading music)
It gives you a gig of space, but they tend to expire sporadically.
Do any of these offer direct links?

**RemyK313** · 03-27-2007, 03:19 PM

Here's some features about the previously discussed DivShare.
1.) 200MB upload.
2.) No file expiration date.
3.) Fast downloads.
4.) No Registration (they also offer a free registration service)
5.) No "enter text" prompts, no window-covering spam.
6.) Realtime progress bar when uploading.
6.) No-click downloads.....

Seriously, no click-downloads. No user hassles. When you're done uploading the file, the site gives you a download link. You paste that link somewhere and when someone clicks on it, it'll take them to Divshare..... about 5 seconds later, the download will start automatically.

Basically, it makes leeching ridiculously easy, and if you register, you can track your downloads (which makes monitoring leeches easy as well).....

Besides the filesize limit, there is no real downside in using Divshare.
