Megaupload taken down

[CrimzonEyed]

Now where am I going to host my files that are larger than 200MB?

Dropbox.
use that link and you get 200mb extra when you register a new account. (making it a total of 2gig and 200mb since you start with 2gigs)

Unless you don't want to reset the router every 5 downloads....

If you're patient you can just not have it do that and just regulate downloads. For large, multipart files, that's usually what I do.

Fuck. NOOOOOO. I used mu so often. ):

I'm using DropBox right now, in case MediaFire falls victim.

Dropbox.

>using dropbox as a host
Dropbox disables it if it's getting high traffic

Good riddance, Megaupload. Last time I was there, I got a virus that fucked up my computer over ads.

For people who actually used if for things other than piracy, there are other places to share and store files

Never had problems with that? I have hosted mirror's for popular android roms and never had people complain about downloads not working.

I can almost imagine this triggering waves of suicides across the world....Warez site Admin's everywhere practicing knots and testing ceiling beams.

I was involved in maintain a Manics B-side and live music vault. And we used Megaupload, nothing was illegal so this is going to be a pain to upload again.

Never got anything pirated off Megaupload; they seemed one of the few sites who were proper vigilant about keeping that stuff off their servers. If stuff was up it wasn't there for long. It was a really good filehosting site - and they'd finally got rid of the wait times, but now this happens! It'd just got perfect.

Use Russian file hosts...

There's a lot of wrong stuff going on in this thread, so I'm going to leave it alone and hopefully someone else has more time on their hands to address it all.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

this just makes difficult to download older NDS roms and PSP ISOs.

I think.... This is just the beggining, as you said earlier, Why Megaupload...? If there are so many other hosting servers who actually support piracy(Megaupload at least closed links if it was related to piracy)... Now megaupload, what could be next?

There's always

The chances are they won't be gone for that long. MU may have a fair share of critics but it had a great deal of "historic" links which will probably be gone for good...i wonder if the investigation will go through EVERY single upload?

Supporting piracy and hosting pirated material are completely different. All these filesharing sites aren't made for piracy, they're made for sharing files. People just upload pirated material to them and it's certainly not the site's fault if they do. It's impossible to monitor potentially millions of files and pick out which ones are pirated. I could just as easily upload something that's pirated and password protect it so that only those with the password could access it (and know that it's pirated material).

Um, elaborate?

Trololol look who's popular XD

Man, I'll be sure to miss it.
The reason it was shut down is not their fault. In fact, by the same standards the dicks who ruined an awesome file sharing website, eBay should be shut down because eBay's users sold copyrighted hardware there before, although eBay tries to catch copyrighted things I've seen some auctions that successfully sold copyrighted hardware =/ Similarly, megaupload tried to catch copyrighted material but of course with the billions of files by anyone they can't "catch 'em all".

I guess sites will start using mediafire or etc now, which I guess isn't too bad...

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Can't say I'm surprised. This is why I get everything from newsgroups.
