PS has juggled allowed file hosts over the years and learned from the experience. If necessity demands another change, we will look at it. Right now, I personally see no need to change things around.

I think we don't need to replace hosts, we need to ban some so as to reduce the overall number of those that are allowed.

In my opinion, FS and OR should be dropped straight away.

PS was confused about it for a bit but they got it down quite good on that. Too bad too because then I get more (m)Oron links and there's this stupid 15 gb limit in the way and I'm about 4gb shy of that right now. So everyone likes to post ther 700 mb links there and well it doesn't take that long to max it out. Wish Oron was banned and FServe was up to speed but it won't happen. Just airing my opinion. ie wish Oron was banned except for small files. Unless you love 9 hour waits in between files.

no problem with Filesonic and I think that'll be less of an issue in europe because I heard some big ruling that made such filtering from ISP's illegal in Europe.

Kinda all in what I'm searching for. We have no such filter in the states

I think this is what the story would be referring to.

yes it's look like filesonic but the server always down must refresh the page more than time.

Maybe they're in flooding time. Last night they offered 400 premium upgrade for free users / uploaders with referral numbers 3100 - 3500. The offer still valid till now. Right now their servers must be really busy received files from uploaders.

Wupload is not a sister site of Filesonic...Hish says that Filesonic have nothing with Wupload.
Wupload just want to copy the success of Filesonic.
