Megaupload taken down

[tj_cool]

Works for me....

Your browser probably cached it.

And that won't stop pirate from downloading stuff, good job guys.

NOOOOO! Megaupload was damn cool!

I've been using Megaupload for years...I had quite a lot of legit files on there...in fact all I had were legit files! I can't necessarily lose those!

 

[MakiManPR]

I had Wii and NDS games on it. Will I get arrested? Damn!!

Meh. I don't pirate, so I don't care about that aspect in the slightest, but for downloading normal files it was annoying. Having to wait and type in a captcha etc. was a waste of time. MediaFire is so much better as it has neither.

EDIT: And I never download particularly large files, so that doesn't matter to me either.

MU recently got rid of the wait time + captcha for free users.

Really? Must have missed that. Guess I haven't had to download anything from there for a while...Or maybe I just didn't notice

[Yoni Arousement]

When I signed up for MegaUpload, I too had no download delay or captcha. But that was last month...

As long as they don't take down Filetrip and Mediafire, I'm all good. Well it'll be a bummer to not have Megavideo it was a reliable site to watch Family Guy episodes .-.

SOPA gets dropped and the gloves come off huh.

Guess all the sites I use to dl games/movies/music will have to re-up.

 

[chyyran]

..

1 week later

"Megaupload back up"

"Megaupload back up"

Undoubtedly. However, back up with all it's content intact, and back up from scratch are two very different places. I expect it'll be longer than a week, but MU will have some pretty good legal teams.

They haven't switched to filesonic/fileserve

As much as I hate seeing the piracy bugs getting squashed, it gets easier for the man to do it when the piracy bug grows bigger and bigger.
As long as mediafire can survive them (because I sincerely dislike filesonic/fileserve), I'll be pretty happy.
All the live bootlegs from Grateful Dead and the Mars Volta will be gone now, though....

Fawk, No More Cyber-12 for mah anime then.
