FileServe is officially dead now as well

[Coto]

Its a bugger Mediafire is down, it was fantastic for getting some of the more lesser known music that isn't available to buy new.

Mediafire appears to be fine from where I'm sitting. Just uploaded a file and downloaded it to double-check.

My bad, I've just noticed that it was removing a lot of illegal content and killing some accounts and put the wrong word in.

Rapidshare faced the same fate too, I just got an OST 2 days ago, and the link where I got it is down.

Trivia: Coto (Co to?) in polish means "What is this?".

Freak Share is still up
Very slow to get anything though

There is a lifehacker article out about this. Here's a link http://lifehacker.com/5878480/the-state-of-filesharing-websites

Just got word that RapidShare is gonna close soon

 

[jimmyemunoz]

Here is the message I just got when trying to download on filesonic.com

"All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.

If this file belongs to you, please login to download it directly from your file manager."

Just 3 days after the shutdown of MegaUpload, and a mere 24 hours after FileSonic stop their file sharing functionality. Rapidshare, one of the world’s largest file sharing company are allegedly the FBI’s next target. The tactic is supposedly to remove the “Top Dog” and so the “smaller” companies will feel the pressure and shut themselves down in similar fashion to FileSonic.

This action could spell bad news for File sharing fanatics as the last two major file sharing sites Rapidshare and Mediafire are under pressure. Reports are circulating across the net that the File Sharing giant is to close in the upcoming weeks and to follow the same road as Filesonic in becoming a private storage network.

That's just supposition taken from a blog and reproduced on an ISO site though (judging from Google anyway...)

if mediafire goes down is all over

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Mediafire's CEO is claiming they have nothing to worry about. Their business model doesn't support piracy. I'm downlading Trails in the Sky for the PSP off their site now. WEAK.

 

[arogance1]

What's to stop a FBI (or other agency) agent joining several sites like this to see which sites people use so they can close them down?

 

[Schlupi]

As if it wasn't hard enough to find working downloads for some games...

PS2, Xbox, and other large retro games just got harder to find...

I'm glad I got my Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix ISO, I can't find a working one AT ALL now. Lol.

This will most likely only be a temporary measure, after all, remember when "the bay" got rid of all its stuff? They're back now and bigger than ever. In due time things will be better people, until then you can always help by uploading your collections... Lol.

This is depressing.....

MEDIAFIRE! DON'T GIVE UP! WE NEED YOU!

Get the latest KH BBS FM - English Translation Patch 1.0.9 before mediafire kills it, since that's the only one I can find.

It is worth it? I thought the translation wasn't 100%.

 

[Zetta_x]

I took this meme and made some alterations to portray what the creators of shit-ware games look like right now.

Spoiler

 

[shakirmoledina]

they are all being safe and i must say fileserve was slightly behind filesonic.
actually u can pinpoint who was "supporting" piracy by the very fact that those who are voluntarily closing down are associated to piracy (and they know it)

 

[kupo3000]

It is worth it? I thought the translation wasn't 100%.

It's at least 99% translated.

 

[xist]

It's almost 100%, at least the main story.

And how different is BBS Final Mix from the US or EU BBS? I know there's some features in those that the original Japanese release didn't have, but looking for differences between an English BBS and BBS FM it doesn't seem that amazing an update.
