Just checked; the only thing I had a ZippyShare link to was with Rudi Rastelli's DLC tools for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Fortunately, I have a backup on MEGA.
Good job. Nice. :D

I used to use 1fichier last year, but recently it's gotten real slow - Zippy's still fast, so it's unfortunate it's shutting down.
Now, it's G Drive (if it's even available) or MegaUp (which, unfortunately, is full of obtrusive ads). MediaFire's great, if it's available.

Anything else is just too slow, if they're even used to store files.

I remember use Zippyshare long time ago where warez forum had list on it and I got few software that what I like them. But not much, because software version get update over again, again all of times to annoy us and people.

Google Drive, MediaFire, Mega, MegaUp, 1fichier are very good and much faster download speed than others. I know MegaUp is very nasty due to heavy ads and pop ups right now.

I remember Rapidshare but Rapidshare website is now malware that what hacker adopt and put nasty malware coding in website when people visit and their computers get hit very hard by malware scripts and hidden background elements running where people can't see them. Blacklist Rapidshare website in router and modem settings to prevent problems affect on all computers, etc.

I experience a lot warez websites in the past. I was underground forum member and love to read a lot of people messages and comments everywhere. I already read strange different of members talk about huge threats about malware coding skills in underground forums in around year 2010 that will affect all warez forums when hackers are going put full download links filled with heavy malware, ransomware, bots on them then end up to destroy all people computers without knowledge and lost a lot of money. Parents are responsible watch their kids, teens to adults what they are doing on internet is very dangerous.

Because agents and lawyers are still fighting against warez forums with all download websites together and that's why warez forums will going shrink down to dead then gone in near future.

That's why force us and people to buy software, movie, games, etc in near future. No more warez in near future because DRM get very advance over again, again and become extreme hard to crack any software, games, etc. That's why I'm going to quit warez for good reasons to avoid problems due to nasty dangerous malware, ransomware, bots, etc. Very sad that would affect young people who never experience warez in the past to now and future to search programs, games, movies, etc then end up to gone wrong and destroy their computers.

I going stick with GOG forever to buy games for my own and I can share many games to give away to my family and friends to play any games. Steam quality will go down and worst due to DRM protection can't be copy to another computer and give away to family and friends. Steam , Epic Games, Blizzard and other have DRM are sucks.

Worst ever anyone heard Microsoft company is force put heavy ads in Windows 11 right now and into future affect all new operating like Windows 12 and go on. Gross nasty ads. I will force to use Linux operating system to forget all Windows crappy made from Microsoft. Windows are like win-blow us away means they have very buggy coding to crash, blue screen of crash, freeze, slow down, boot up looping, unstable automatically Windows Update and go on... Microsoft quality have gone down in road and no good for us and everyone make feel like all software, game, etc filled with a lot of bugs like trash.

I thought I was the only one having problems with 1fichier.com.

EDIT: If I disable IPv6 in the current Windows network adapter and reset the router (which removes the previously Cloudfare IPv4 DNS I set on it) I can access 1fichier but sometimes it looks distorted and I have to refresh the page until it looks normal but on the phone even after setting its DNS to match Cloudfare's I stop being able to access 1fichier so I guess I should set Cloudfare's IPv4 DNS on the router again, enable Windows current network adapter's IPv6 and use a VPN to even make a second download on 1fichier right after making a previous one (which is possible thanks to a VPN and even with the original router IPv4 DNS set and with IPv6 enabled in the current Windows network adapter I'd still have to use a VPN to make a second download in 1fichier right after making a previous one).

EDIT 2: I enabled IPv6 on Windows network adapters, set Google IPv4 DNS in Windows and Android and I still can't access 1fichier. Why don't I have this problem when using the phone's mobile network? I'm returning to Cloudfare's IPv4 DNS in the router and Cloudfare's IPv6 in the PC. I guess I'll have to use a VPN every time I access this site.

EDIT 3: My ISP installed a new router and I can access 1fichier.com without even changing the DNS on my phone and PC and it also doesn't appear distorted. I guess it was the previous router's fault. Also, this router uses the same SSID for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, it doesn't let me separate them and it doesn't let me change the networks' DNS.

Haven't used that in a few years.
I guess geoblocking users can do that to your visitor numbers. ZS was the only filesharing site that I needed a VPN for.
Yep, had to activate my VPN to download from it.
Sad, one of the few file hosts that gives free users good download speeds.
What? There's MEGA (my favorite), Drive, Outlook, 1Fichier, MediaFire (mind you I've not used for a while), etc.

It's unfortunate ZS is closing, but not surprising as they blocked a lot of countries so that was annoying.
Nope. You needed 2 clicks. One for hidden popup and one for actual download.
I've used adblockers for so long I'd just go straight to download, of course I needed to activate my VPN just for it.
They served a purpose back in the day, but have been a pain in the arse to use for a while now. I'm glad I finally don't need the vpn extension in my browser anymore.
Proton VPN free package users about 5 locations and unlimited bandwidth. Pretty good.

Been using their Protonmail service for a few years now and I intended to ditch Google/Outlook emails, but I just can't due to using Android and Xbox (well, made Xbox Live purchases in the past and don't want to lose them).
Very sad, will have to be removed from many downloader sites. Good bye to a reliable and free file storage. They offered better speeds than most.
Reliable, but annoying if you live/lived in a country they blocked your IP.

MEGA annoys with free daily transfer limits, 1Fichier has 1-hour cooldown for free accounts, Mediafire has really random speed downloads if you don't use their app, Google Drive has limits for how many people can download file before blocking sharing completely (the same with OneDrive)

Two my favorties currently:
- qiwi (it had issues when switching to new backend, but it was solved some time ago),
- gofile (though it removes pretty quickly copyrighted files + if noone downloads your file, it's removed in 10 days)

I agree with you about MEGA and 1File (prefer to call it that), although if I hit that limit I just enable the VPN and it bypasses the restrictions.

MEGA is my go-to hoster. Been very happy with it (just don't use a personal email and upload copyright material as they can ban you).
