Allowed File Host Discussion

[SavageWolf]

I see less used UL sites from time to time, but I do not understand why I should buy premium that I might use only 2 in a month. Like this :
Upsto.re
I get good DL speeds, but I have not seen it since I used it last month..
BTW, I was DL'ing a file from RS, that said the file would be done in 1:24, the file I was DL'ing from Upsto.re was supposed to take over 3 hours. The 3 hour file finished in less than 2 hours, and the RS file still had 25 minutes to go after the
"Upsto.re" file already finished.

I prefer the alternative: ban uploaded in the same way as cloudzer is banned. Sounds fair, doesn't it?

Filevice seams too be a good filehost, easy for free users, great speed.

Ryushare seems to have a fair amount of momentum and materials available on other sites. As a free user, they're second only to Depositfiles for total downloads available in a day (combination of D/L speed, caps & wait times).

My web searches (which reflect my tastes) yield more hits--and working links--for ryushare than combined links from the three 2nd tier required PATM hosts: Hotfile, MediaFire & Bitshare.

Although RG has more links out there than just about anybody except DF, they are WAY too painful for free users. I generally skip material from RG unless it's unique AND something I have already searched extensively for alternate sources.

From my experience as a free user in the USA, I would rank hosts as:

1. DF
2. Upload.to/Uploaded.net (edges out Ryu based on number of active links)
3. Ryushare
4-X. Everybody else
X+1. Cepzo.com
X+2. RG & extabit
X+3. RS

Yes, a nearly-unknown host edges out RG, Extabit & RS. Frankly, I would trade any TWO of the hosts ranked 4 and below for access to Ryushare on the site.

This site is somewhat like German engineering: while the rationale for a decision may not be obvious, there is generally a logic to it.

Given the really BAD service the site accepts from RG & RS, I'm sure somebody at the site must have investigated Ryushare and rejected them for some reason. Please share why the site rejected Ryushare. If they were just too much of a bit player (pun intended) when investigated earlier, they certainly merit another look.

Regardless of what PS decides, I plan to transfer data to Ryushare & uploaded.to if I can figure out how to transfer the files without uploading all over again. Both have provided excellent service to me as a free user, and I want to support them by making more data available through their servers. I'm still undecided about Filefactory. Right now, the other "required" PATM hosts lack the critical mass to make it worthwhile.

The PS policy will just drive users off this site as they search for alternate hosts on different sites when their download que is full for DF. It does not take much to cap uploaded.to, and RG has much smaller limits, making it damn-near useless.

I've been having great luck downloading from filefactory. So much that I actually use filefactory as a keyword in searches in hopes I'll find something posted there that I like.

For a while I joined depositfiles. I was able to download more than one file at a time. But download speeds were no faster with a paid subscription than they were without it. So I'll never do that again.

I'd like to see an end to Luckyshare, they only let you download at 20k/sec - got better speeds back in 1998 in college!
