Megaupload shut down

[Flex]

I can't remember where I read it, but apparently Kim Dotcom's a prolific conman.

Mediafire's generally quite good, not sure what their size restrictions are.

Mediafire is great, but the cap is 100mb. I think zShare has a decent reputation, and fits our size restriction needs, which is why I recc'd it.

Creating some sort of uber torrent makes a lot of sense, but I'm not really a pro in torrent creation.

[Heston]

Mediafire and Rapidshare are pretty compatible with me.

Edit: And ZShare.

[Dr. Medulla]

Most places have 100MB caps unless you pay for it. The best thing about mediafire is that there's no wait time or captcha.

God, to think I almost shelled out $200 for a permanent megaupload account a couple years ago.

[Dr. Medulla]

depositfiles.com says it accepts files up to 2GB. Delays and capchas, tho.

RapidShare's download limit is sometimes an issue.

Yeah and it gets very annoying once you pass it multiple times.

Whew. Nothing is "permanent" except death.

I know, right?

The big concern I had at the time was links dying from lack of use, but I don't remember once having to reupload a show in the last three or four years from an expired link. That and I would often reach an upload limit. So as of the death of megaupload, it would have been a waste.

I read that Anonymous are giving the FBI website a bit of their own medicine.

This really sucks.... Can't see how I can find the time to rip the BAD lot once more.... All the original .rar files got lost with the rest of my hardd rive last year... Oh well... Hopefully people got what they wanted already.

Whew. Nothing is "permanent" except death.

"Nothing is permanent except death and taxes." Is that not the quote? Maybe add "unreliability from third persons," to that then.

I think it's "Nothing is certain except death and taxes." I should've written "Nothing, especially on the Internet, is 'permanent'."
