Yes we cant just rely on DF and Oron.
RS is okay if you buy a premium which I do every other month. I agree that if we lost DF, then PS would be half its current size or less ! I think they are based in the Netherlands. I am getting my mainstream movies via torrents

^ Vista Fan, could you explain in detail, rather than just "no".

I'm happy just to have access to a few things I follow As has been the case for along time you wont always be able to get access to everything you want straight away The first rapidshare had free users locked out for several months when it first took off The much loathed / loved cash reward hosts like Oron have had some unbelievably long waiting times between files which make todays 30kb download speed offered by rapidshare seem quite quick. Filesonic had some wonderful games with their IP addys which nobbled their service for many users So its not like everything before MU was peachy perfect like some like to paint it as There are good stable filehosts about but because their not paying money for traffic uploaders choose not to use them Instead they upload to filehosts like depositfiles & filefactory enmass and we all watch their download speeds & access deteriorate. About the only shining lights would be the MU prosecution balls up which has given a few other players like mediafire a bit of a reprieve though down the track they'll no doubt be targetted given their more widely used volume wise than MU ever was just not in the porn sections. |

since everything went down i don't download much from here any more. i don't download much porn now, which is no bad thing as i've loads that i've never really watched anyway. i used to get most of my television shows from here ( thanks to pitt and himmelsta ) but now i rely on torrents and ifile.it ( games of thrones tonight downloaded in 5mins! )
i still upload stuff, mainly to the television section, but i do think it must be a bit of a nightmare to download it! the strange thing about all this is the one file host i really used to hate, oron, which never used to work for me, is actually one of the best this site allows now!

in one word NO.
but if the answer to this question was that easy. well then we wouldn't need to discuss the topic on the first place. I only have one concern when it comes to file hosts and that is how good is their service with free users if is too restrictive, long waiting times between downloads, slow download speeds, lots of pop-ups, banners, etc. then I hate it simple as that. not a radical point of view but not as popular as one would think. |

Agreed, and that's a good point. People are willing to put all of their chips toward one host these days, and it's really a bad move. Regardless of where the main servers are located, I still believe that we're at war with every government in the civilized world right now.
If Oron goes down, PlanetSuzy starts from scratch. Those are the facts. The vast majority of incoming posts every day use Oron in most sections here. I don't like it personally due to my history of being on other boards with Oron bought them out and on basic sharing principle, but I understand that the survival of this site is hot-wired to the continuation of Oron. DepositFiles is the number two, and I'd say that probably 25% of active links on this site are DepositFiles. Again, DF could bomb. Oron could bomb. We are not safe. I think uploaders need to look outside of their massive wallets and upload to some of the smaller but stable hosts as well. Mediafire is the MegaUpload equivalent at the moment, and I don't see it burning before Oron and DF. People need to invest time in uploading to them. As for newer, smaller hosts such as i-Filez and RapidGator, I don't believe they're worth anyone's time. They're not long-term hosts. Rapidshare may or may not improve, but I don't use them anymore personally. They're a long-term host like Mediafire, but I'm just skiddish. |

Well, we can't control what posters use. We test hosts to give our members the best choice, and it's up to them after that. I'm just about as anti-Oron as one could get, but I do see choice as being important as well. As much as I hate the concept of posting for money, we've got to give users that opportunity. Uploaders have gotten more and more greedy, and now Oron is all anyone uses. I'd love to see this forum as a place where people upload for fun and that's it, but we'd lose a large portion of our community if we cut out Oron. Our hands are tied.
It's not just the fact that Oron pays users that makes me despise them so much, though. A little over a year ago, they started buying out forums and forcing the userbase to only use them. Forums that were once great were lost to greed, and good uploaders sold out just like the owners of the forums did. Oron has become far too powerful and far too influential. They can't buy out PlanetSuzy, but they can control our membership like puppets. They have us by the balls, and I fucking hate it, but there are few forums out there that aren't in Oron's stranglehold anymore. Where the fuck else am I going to go? I've found a community here that I love, one that I haven't seen anything like in the twelve years I've been browsing forums. This place is my home. Part of me wants to ween out the cash posters, but I understand why we can't, and it isn't up to one mod alone. We've got mods who post Oron. It's just an uncomfortable situation. No host should have the kind of power that Oron does. |

Not really, there are still a few good posters left here.
All joking aside, while the oron posts are numerous, there are still people using good ol' sh*tty depositfiles. Nothing I enjoy more than waiting 4 hours for a file that takes 30 minutes on most other hosts. I really do miss my Megaupload. Quote:
