This is funny because just yesterday I learned about Swizz Beatz being the CEO.

megaupload? -link removed for public safety-

I think that's the IP of the fake someone posted earlier.

On a side note, it automatically downloaded a "setup.exe" when I went there. I'm on OSX, but even if I was on Windows right now I wouldn't be stupid enough to open it.

Where was the setup.exe file saved?

It just went to my Downloads folder, but that's because I have Chrome to automatically send downloads there.
If you guys aren't getting it though, it's probably an ad that popped up from the site on my side. But I'd keep away regardless.

Not much of a big loss for me.
I barely download for Megupload since I always use the "BAY" for my stuff.

 

[Bladexdsl]

no not the 2d/3d cover packs!

I used to use the bay for my stuff but now i use a program that searches the good torrent sites.

A good torrent site?

Well this isn't really that surprising, but I don't see how the sites original business idea differs from say, Youtube.com or Google.com. Both of those also offer relatively easily all kinds of copyrighted content (hell Google is probably the biggest .torrent search engine available). Sad to see that this has happened, but I believe it'll be back up in the end. It's not like online storage services could be banned.

Does SOPA got anything to do with this.

Google usually comes up with heaps of fakes and links to searches for torrents which doesn't find torrents.

I still have to say that the "BAY" is the best public torrent site.

yeah me too, though the program i use mostly lists the ones from the bay and a few other torrent sites almost as good as it.

Can't say torrent sites.
Fix before you get more trouble.

i am so happy i finished ff13 2 days ago! imagine 40gb to waste!
this is probably the worst internet news i have ever heard and i am not exaggerating one bit.

there are many alternatives that have remote upload, resumable downloads, good speeds etc but ppl dont know about them but i think if this is the case the filesonic is next followed by wupload then fileserve. BUT 2 yrs later from now.

first duckload now this...

So someone watches a pirated DVD on a Sony player - do they ban Sony from selling DVD players?

Man that site always gave me the best stuff, I will sure miss it but hey we still have mediafire.

why else would they make bluray player play MKV, AVI, DIVX

 

[rockstar99]

Don't care.
Mediafire still works.
Torrents will always work.


Fuck yeah.

 

[wasim]

megaupload?

nothing here.Just a page with Magaupload on it

On Topic:- Mediafire is better

Yes, it allows to pause downloads.

But most of the files are uploaded at megaupload, so megaupload is better.

 

[Youkai]

WTF Megaupload was awesome i can't understand what rights they have to just close it down !
and for all the guys who don't care, you should ! if this goes on every other file hoster will have the same faith !

and torrents and such are already high risk cuz you can be found out way to easy.

I really hope the hackers in the world will work together and show the higher ups what they think of them doing stuff like that ...

 

[AlanJohn]

Its not piracy.
Megaupload is file-sharing, the creators don't upload anything there, only the visitors.
