I find that I could have 6 parts going at ~80-90KB/s.

If I pause 5 of them, the 1 remaining will still hover around 80-90KB/s

Same thing happens me.
Going to switch this week am sick of it now :mad:

For those interested with filesonic premium I can max out my UPC 50Meg, Fileserve is useless!

Still $180 per year...

I'm on UPC 50Meg too and get max speed on many a torrent. UPC sure is not throttling any of that. And I pay per gig on one or two usenet servers - get about 200GB for $20 - does me for about a year

I usually buy in 3 month intervals, UPC do have a FUP which torrents (I'm assuming private sites) will use up in no time, having too keep a 1:1 ratio and all that crap. Torrents do actually piss me off and are only used now as a "last resort"

Aye, once you're used to luxury it's hard to go back to basics

If you're forking out a decent amount is there any reason you're not using usenet? Sure you can't beat that in speed / availability? Or am I missing something with those rapidshare / fileserve sites?

And BTW I've gone over the fair use limits with UPC regularly, sometimes almost solely on torrents and I've never heard anything from them. Never got throttled either. My average traffic over the years would be about half the fair use or less, so maybe they let me away with it...

Must be something with UPC and Fileserve, getting 20-60kbps at home ( Sandymount ) and getting Full speeds in the University ( who I assume arn't UPC ) kind of annoying to be honest

This is a little all over the place but are my findings on various filesharing sites:

Fileserve has always been really slow for me. Premium and free. Free gets me ~60kb/s while Premium is only ~80kb/s. Not worth the money by a long shot.

Filesonic was a little better with ~150kb/s free and 250kb/s Premium. Worth it if you have a lot to download. Megaupload (RIP) was at times awful though. About 50kb/s on Premium and a pathetic 10kb/s on free unless it was the middle of the night in which case both rose to between 200 and 300kb/s. Wupload is good enough on free at ~250kb/s. Never tried Premium.

Rapidshare was the easy winner. Up to 2mb/s on free and up to 5mb/s on Premium. Only problem is it was too expensive for how little it was used on the grand scheme of things. If I was downloading 250GB (my monthly limit) every month with only Rapidshare, it'd be worth it but since I never have, free is more than good enough.

Hotfile, Depositfiles etc all get stayed away from but it's starting to look like they'll be needed soon which is a shame as free only gives me between 20 and 60kb/s for any of them.

Not really relevant any more considering Filesonic, Fileserve and host of others have effectively shut down after Megaupload going.

Fileserve was still live for me last night. Haven't seen any live filesonic links lately and its been an age since I've seen hotfile (didn't they lose a courtcase? ).

Aren't fileserve based in Asia? Can't see an american courtcase affecting them too much. We shall see.

The amount of file links that were removed by Fileserve is a joke!

Ah FFS! I'd queued up a load of stuff last night on fileserve that's gone today :mad:

Yes of course, I assume by then the smaller file hosting sites will be up and running!

Both Filesonic (yesterday) and Fileserve (today) no longer allow you to download any files unless you uploaded them.

sonic.trip

I used to be Rapidshare until people starting uploading to the other hosts and I switched to Fileserve. I've 9 months left on my account which is pretty much worthless now. Rapidshare seems to have files still up, might have to get a one month account with them for the minute.

I seen on a site Filesonic was refunding some customers. Doubt Fileserve will be doing that. Whats the point in paying for a service were you can only download a file you have uploaded yourself.

Paypal may do a refund if you payed that way as the service has changed drastically than what you paid for

Difference is Rapidshare are pretty quick to remove anything that is reported. Megaupload werent which is why they went bye bye. Dont think Rapidshare will be going anywhere so long as they keep deleting everything that gets reported to them.

Mega deleted nothing! If a link was reported to them off of a particular site then they just made it so that that link didn't link to the Copyright Material anymore but it was still availabe from links on other sites.

Everything was left up there.

It's only a suprise it took so long for this to happen to them.

Thanks for the link, an interesting read.

Really surprised at fileserves reaction, though I could care less as their service was terrible. I didnt know that file serve owned all those other file sharing sites, I find it odd how these other file sharing sites they owned had better performance than fileserve
