Question regarding "Required File Hosts" for PATM Standard Videos Required Host Rule (Videos must be hosted by at least one (1) of the following "Required File Hosts")
I was wondering why 1fichier isn't included on that list. It seems to be one of the better file hosts and much better than many of the required hosts IMO

Probably because it wouldn't get used much. Note that the staff that also post content don't use ZS or DF, because they aren't payhosts. Since posters are allowed to use 2 "required hosts" they can post to FJ and FB, thereby locking their own posts into being the only profitable ones. Anyone else has to use ZS or DF, thereby guaranteeing that any other "payhost" mirrors won't get used much. At least, that's how I download. If someone posts a great mirror (ZS, Mega, 1fichier, solidfiles) they get my download and thanks. If it's just payhosts, no thanks even if it's great first content.

1fichier isn't "that" great, in that it only allows 1 download an hour. It's better in that it's fast- sometimes in the 1Mbps range- and it doesn't need a captcha so I can plop them in JD and let 'em rip. But there are even better hosts. Mega, solidfiles, and a host not allowed here called fireload have no wait times, no captchas, and 1Mbps speeds (fireload has run so fast as to saturate my bandwidth). Of course no one would use them as they aren't payhosts.
