So you can't even use proxies? /:You could, but it's more risky that way. Plus Filesonic could log the different IPs accessing the same account etc etc.
Makes sense...Terms of Service forbid sharing accounts, y'know.

How does this function? Is it just like dropbox (you can only up/download if you have access to the account)? If so, couldn't you just create an account, upload stuff, give the account info to another person so that he/she can download the up'd contents?
The servers register the ammount of simultainous connections, not whether or not the file was fully downloaded.So you can't even use proxies? /:You could, but it's more risky that way. Plus Filesonic could log the different IPs accessing the same account etc etc.
Does anyone download the same file from multiple different proxies? I know some download accelerators might but that is easy to account for as those accelerators do multiple partial downloads as opposed to account sharing which would have multiple full downloads of the same file at the same time.

Your government had nothing to do with it (besides an outside influence on the decision).I dislike my government.
Yes? It was my government's actions that caused this...Your government had nothing to do with it (besides an outside influence on the decision).I dislike my government.
They did not force Filesonic to shut down their file-sharing privileges. They were not the cause, but they were an influence to the decision.Yes?

My reply highlights the idea that many sites function this way. It's basically an online way to store YOUR files. Don't have a flash drive on hand? Upload them to FileSonic and download them at the secondary computer. Many sites work this way and it's not "fucking useless" as you would put it.There are tons of sites that function the same way FIlesonic currently does. Them leaving it open to retrieve files is definitely not "fucking useless"If they completely shut down, people wouldn't be able to retrieve their important files, and at least now they can still act as a sort of storage locker...Why not just shut down completely. How fucking useless is that. No ones going to use them anymore.
This is slowly making older VNs and animes a real bitch to find DDLs for.
Really hope Mediafire keeps intact.
AKA...be fucking useless, lol. It'd make more sense to get a external HDD, or use any other hosting site in the off chance you might want to distribute something.
Their drop in business is going to kill them regardless, they might as well go out with cash in their pocket, as opposed to bankrupt.
They should have just given a date for their closure, so people could retrieve any important files before then.
Read my last sentence. Obviously staying open so people can retrieve their files (and subsequently upload them somewhere less shitty) is a good idea, derpderp. But staying open in that state for an extended period of time is completely retarded. Unless they're going to turn around in a month and cease the restrictions, there's simply no point staying open. The cost would very likely either outweigh their profit, or they'd break about even (which isn't a good business model).
EDIT: and yes Foxi that's what I was getting at, I suppose I could have stated that, whoops, lol.
