File Hosting and Cyberlocker Sites

Have you forgotten about Bitshare? Bitshare is a stable file host, and if you guys are looking to make a few more bucks before everything tightens down, then uploaders don't forget about Bitshare! They allow all countries, even usa to download. If you've been using Turbobit and Uploaded.to then you have been missing out on a lot of USA downloads (USA downloads pay the highest too).

If you don't have an account, and you are looking for a good paying file host, or if you want a good mirror for your files that USA can download from, check out Bitshare and you can make a grip!

Okay guys, I have had some time to try out the simply - debrid link generator. I must say it is better than the Alldebrid.com link generator from my last post. Main reason being is they aren't as quick as Alldebrid to suspend your account.

So after trying it for some time, I have to say that he speeds of the down loader are good, but it just doesn't support as many file hosts as Alldebrid. That being said, I think it is still a better service because the account doesn't always get suspended for multiple IPs.

I have bought a new hotfile premium account for one month so I can evaluate the service and write this review. I was excited to finally have a hotfile premium, the most popular file hosting service around now days. Seems like everybody posts hotfile links. Now that I own a premium, I can't even understand why.

Okay first let's start with the good things. There are a few pros of this service: they do pay. If you earn, you will get your money. And hotfile being so popular, it will be easy to rack up quite a few downloads from your links.

Another solid thing about the4 service is the Hot linking feature. My monthly premium account came with 100 Gb of hot linking. So I can turn hot linking on and off for certain folders or files, whenever I want, allowing me to give users the a no wait time download. Cool if you are a site owner, or want a "vip" section of your site, where you can treat your visitors to direct linking. The only downside of hot linking is if your trying to make money, you will not be paid for any downloads when hotl inking is turned on.

Now the worst part of the deal. See the picture above? In the small black print in the top left corner. I could not believe that they have a "remote upload" daily limit. This was the bigge4st dissapointment of the whole deal. With services like filesonic you can "remote upload" 200 links at a time, including any filesonic link  (http://www.username:password@filesonic.com/file). There is NO bandwidth limit, I guess the limitations of the server itself which is a lot more than 5120 Mb, like hotfile.

Many uploaders use a remote uploader, or rapidleech, and this bandwidth limit would make hotfile useless for them. And that's kinda the boat I'm in.  Hell even with Enterupload, as a basic member, I can upload 5 URLs at a time, for unlimited bandwidth (and I've tested it too).

I guess that's about all I can say about this service. It is nice to download from (because everybody uses it for their uploads), but uploading to hotfile was on average slower than filesonic, or fileserve. If the only thing you are after is downloading, then this service is great for you. You can directly download any hotfile link from any user directly, without even having to change webpages. The download speeds are also fast, equal to filesonic at the least.

But for most, who want a premium, stay away from hotfile. Go try filesonic or fileserve, as the remote upload daily bandwidth is a pain in the ass.

Any comments or opinions about hotfile premium is encouraged because maybe I'm looking at things blindly.

Here is my FileSonic.com Review (free service only).

Having access to several free and premium file hosting accounts, and having testing and used most of them, file sonic does some good things. This is probably why filesonic is gaining popularity. After using this service I could say these things.

1. The above stated, good payout rates, with a low payment threshold $15.
2. The remote upload works damn good. You don't have to stay on that page till the file uploads, and you can check back and get a % of completion, while over at fileserve.com the remote file uploads just say "pending..." and you can not tell how long they have left.
3. Overall good file size limits / short download wait / decent to very good speeds (upload and download)

The rate of files removed (probably due to copyright complaint, ect) is very high for filesonic. I've seen instances where files that were only a few minutes/hours old are instantly removed. Again not important because it's not you intend on downloading illegal files anyway (right, guys?).

I know there are users who upload only legit, legal files. In reality, the dark underbelly of the internet where people download and share illegal files make up a large portion of the people using the sites. So for these folks sometimes popular file hosts like filesonic or fileserve are desirable because a lot of people prefer these sites to get their downloads. There are other file hosting sites with lower rates of file take downs. Netload.In is a popular file host where files being removed take longer(this is arguable), if they are removed. As long as the links stay alive, they can continue to rack up more download points (and or money balance). On the same token, Netload.in isn't as solid in other areas of it's service. (400mb file size limit, lower pay rate, website usability is cumbersome and not as clean cut as file sonic.

Overall I think they are a solid file hosting service, as long as they can maintain all the needs of their users, they will remain very popular.

Keep in mind of those file hosters that were at the lead of the pack, which is easy to flop. Rapidshare, for example, has flopped. Rapidshare was #1 for so long, so they arn't just going to go away over night. It is still very popular, due to name brand, but they really lost a step or two. THe picture below I have compared Rapidshare.com, Hotfile.com, and Filesonic.com.

Filesonic.com being in the red, has a sharp increase since starting, but look at rapidshare's decrease. Filesonic is on the right track but look how rapidshare made a few wrong choices and now they have lost more than half of their reach.
