Free mirrors

Yes ! That's what I call a strong and clear decision.
Thx a lot for this necessary reaction in favour of the real share spirit.
Take care,
Greetings from France,
nico

thanks. great decision

GREAT decision! I have paid accounts to RS and Depositfiles, which seem to be the 2 most popular here, but I get annoyed whenever I see some large file hosted on some strange server I've never heard of, and that limits dl amounts and times out every time I try to access them! Thhhhhhaaaannnkkksss!

И ни одного поста на великом могучем? )))
А по теме: всё правильно, давно пора так!

2fofik

Ну тут как бы и так понятно, имхо – мол будем кошмарить авторов за непомерную жадность. %)

А то ведь и в самом деле – ерунда какая-то получается, а не свободное распространение информации.

Most of those crappy file hosts deny access to download saying that "the download limit is reached for your country, come back after 24 hours" What a crappola!

Very good decision! Thank you :)

I agree with this too.
Would you add Mediafire to the free mirror list ?

Thank you,

Great decision.

Much appreciated.

This will also get rid of the guy posting phishing links.

Cheers.

Totally agree with that!

Great .. very impressive ...
I'm waiting for this decision for a long time ..

I'm confused...
uploading and uploadbox are free services it seems. I like having the possibility of chosing more mirrors. And RS is a kind of fucking swiss monopoly ( you premium users know you are paying swiss bankers in the end, the biggest robbers, don't you?) vip-file and similar are the detestable ones who are not free and must be avoided...I'd agree in that case...but cannot be prohibited imho.
But finally, does uploaders oblige you to download their files? No, they give you an opportunity, if you think it's bad you can refuse it by yourself, I don't need a censor to judge, and then you can search alternatives in the net too, it is so big. It's what I do when I only find RS mirrors.
I'll do it more, I think this rule is useless and limitating. The web must stay anarchic. But since this site is transforming...I see your point too, Mr.Avax.
Stay well.

Полностью поддерживаю.!
Еще бы прибить бы авторов зеркал нафиг - особено тех которые на теже обменники зеркалят что и у автора поста.

I really like this decision BUT I think it would be great if you let people publish wherever they want AS LONG AS the "no mirror" rules does not apply to a rapidshare, megaupload, filefactory.

Yea Thats The Way 2 Go ! Niceness :D

//HAlleBy!

this is very good

Xcellent news! Great job guys!

not good rule

hot damn outstanding news

GOOD OR BAD, IT IS THE RULE...:-)
and the rules must to be clear for all...

Pretty nice and gently initiative for ALL we love this great site.-

It is a little bit late but better than never!
Very good decision..
thnx

BRAVOOOOOOOOOO !!!! Good rule
It should be clear either you really want to share or you do not want to share.

Excellent decision.

Dear Sir или Madam! Я прошу вас не делать скоропалительных выводов. Речь же идёт не о нашем конкретном самодурстве, а о вполне отчётливой тенденции: “жадных” авторов будет “перевоспитывать” не администрация каких-то конкретных сайтов, но сама реальность – просто потому что предлагаемая вами схема не устраивает НИКОГО, кроме вас.
Поймите пожалуйста правильно: я вовсе не читаю вам нотаций, и вообще – не оцениваю ваших действий с моральной точки зрения. Я всего лишь подвергаю сомнению эффективность выбранной вами стратегии: имхо проще добавлять в свои публикации зеркала и иметь с этого вожделенный профит (а он всё рано будет) – нежели чем не иметь ничего.

Finelly a site that understand and listen the clients .......thanks a lot , a brilliant rule

Правило как правило. Ничего особенного :)
Но я бы предложил еще добавить в список mihd.net и mediafire.com. По части "свободы доступа" они, кстати, более либеральны, чем ФФ или рапида. Хотя и не блещут такой скоростью

2Alexpal:
Оки-доки =)

This new rule is fine.
Various blogs make a list of "Top 10" filesharing.
Rapidshare is the best? MediaUpload is easy? 4shared is practical? Need public consultation?
In My Opinion (not Humble) this new rule is for "Mr. Avax" try to organize this home.

Comedy section:
My suggestion to complement the new rule: All post must have "Plese, mirror it in all FREE filesharing that you know!" and more: "with NO WAITING TIME!" and more "with EASY CAPTCHA" and more "FAST!"

The translation term "Оки-доки" is for office organization ?

Y e s ! !
G o o d ! !

AVAX IS OUR HERO!!! Thanks a lot.

GREAT GREAT GREAT

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


but please keep a close look at those that post rapidshare links that are ONLY valid for ten users in order to get all the other guys to pay some extremely crappy fileshosts to complete the missing parts

Thank you, we care to them (if this is feasible).

I don't understand, Uploading and Uploadingbox are my favorite for small files and I never pay nothing for them.

Perfect! Finally, those cadgers are finished! These greedy uploaders won't do further damage to Avax. Uploaded.to produced a huge lot of corrupted data at bigger files. And those hosters destroy the sharing community.

But I'm afraid the new rules are only an April-joke and PR-gag! A very interesting one because of the emotional chaos. (Two reasons: 1. the picture of the female recruit is for laughing 2. the word choice (greedy and so on) is not typically for Avaxhome.)

I entirely agree with you. filefactory seems to have lost their early promise, and there are severe restrictions for non-members. The other two are excellent. megaupload treats all like premium members, but allows only one free download at a time - a small price to pay (I have since become a premium member) rapidshare is rapidshare - the best out there, but they do whatever they feel to do, and at any time, even for premium members

fantastic!!!!

Согласен с Alexpal. можно действительно добавить еще mihd.net и mediafire.com. :)

Salamat. great decision!
Does this mean old publications will be allowed the popular mirrors? Thanks Again.

Finally and end to this chaos! Thank you for this decision

IMHO, “old publications” remain inviolate. Because “the law has no retroactive effect.”

Они и ранее были не разрешены, если автор давал ДВА сервиса и просил зеркала не делать. По крайней мере, я именно так определял призыв "уважать авторов" в ФАК. Так что тут ничего не изменилось

Thank you Avax for this excellent long-awaited-for decision

For many people this site is like University; please keep it free. Thank you very much.

Finnaly !!! Both Uploading and Uploadbox are shitty websites !! each time i clicked their links all i got was "The limit for your country has been reached" !! damm buggers !!

Rapidshare. Filefactory and Megaupload is this serious? Not all Publishers can afford buying all Three accounts. I like using Easy share because its easy, MediaFire because its Free, Uploadbox and Uploading because its a fast and its simple. The Downloaders always complain but never contribute with their own Post, all they do is Hijack threads and Mirror from the OP without giving them any credit. If Downloaders could get away from this then there's something wrong here.

BRAVO and thanx

Тысяча извнений, но “Дух Шаринга” при новых правилах как раз соблюдается. И зеркала поэтому только приветствуются.

#################################

cool decision

Hats off to you admins

#################################

Well, good things happens sometimes!
Veruy interesting rule!

I like this rule.

Uploadbox... Да нестабильный сервис. Что и говорить. Лично мне не нравится. Вот только большинство претензий к нему (которые здесь предъявляются) надо предъявлять к пишушим же эти претензии. Что мешало в течении двух месяцев тупо на нем зарегистрироваться? И теперь (абсолютно бесплатно!) иметь там пожизненный премиум-аккаунт (до конца чьей жизни - это вопрос, конечно, риторический. но дело не в этом, а в тривиальной лени)

2 Avax:
это не повод для дискуссии, приятель :)
Все фигня, кроме пчел. Да и пчелы тоже - фигня (C)

Here i go again...

I think this is a good decision, it actually made the obvious official. And now the site is more even, if people want to pay for a specific premium only they will know which one to get.

I don't think anyone should despair, it was already in the way if you consider Avaxhome is now sharing some of its profit with publishers through the ads. Just upload anywhere else you like and send a link to rapidshare. I truly suggest rapidshare instead of the other two because you can actually try to keep your premium for free, something you won't be able to do with megaupload, probably.

In any case, if you choose megaupload DO NOT PLACE A DIRECT LINK, they will disqualify your upload for rewards as soon as they grabb where it came from.

Now, i think if everybody will come up with a rapdishare mirror, mirrors should be forbidden in the comments (i personally do't care/mind for them, my files are really big if people feel like mirroring...), but book uploaders will feel discouraged if their upload gets mirrored so often like it happens now. Remember, rapidshare does not give you points for small downloads. It is important to even the site but it is also important to value and respect the uploaders, mostly the the book ones, since they will probably find another haven if they can't possibly sustain their premium accounts. And also, think about giving more credit to copycats and leechers than to the uploaders. Uploaders have to follow strict rules and always come up with NEW UNDUPLICATED content, but leechers/mirrorers can do whatever they want in the comments. It is even possible some other file hosts not listed here will show up in the comments, profit-prone or not and sometimes even scams!

Even though old files are imune i already had plans to up them again at rapidshare. Specific rules are good and will avoid confusion and useless fights over file-hosts, but think about the book posters a bit in exchange (their files are easy to be copycated).

Halleliua! now we can download in peace. :))

AVAX, Я имел ввиду что Дух шаринга - это просто смешно! Не уже ли за счет него такие обьемы достигаются на аваксе? Не думаю.

@ Avax

IMHO it's an ostrich-like policy.

From the very beginning of the AH there is a rule "Comments with "mirrors" will be deleted ONLY IF publisher post files at least on TWO DIFFERENT FILE HOSTS." and you did NOTHING to enforce it.
You are helpless against the visitors making mirrors so you discipline AH posters.
In spite of what I've been saying I think it's a GOOD rule... as long as it's obeyed. (Today you can find many posts with 'free" mirrors and with comments with mirrors, too)
But what are you doing to enforce it???
You are introducing a rule which is easy to comply due to a Pasha's "refused option" but nobody is abide by the "deleted comments with mirrors" or "no mirrors, please" rule.

I put you mildly that above rules still exist and there are still comments with mirrors.
Apart from introducing a new rule what are you doing to enforce the old one?

With all due respect

1) Learn to read. AT LEAST ONE.
2) Don't bitch. There are a LOT of uploaders, myself included, that do both. I try to mirror in RS because it's a pain in the ass to download anything on the other file hosters. All my postx are exclusively on RS. In anyone wants to mirror therm, fine for me.
3) The concept of sharing is to get to the widest audience possible. I will not post on other filehosters than RS. This being said, my content will have to popup somehow in different hosts to get to members that don't like/don't afford RS.

Thank you. You're proving once again that you are the best sharing site on the Internet.

И кстати говоря ещё такой вопрос. Новости больше не будут никогда проверяться на дубли? Уже дошло до того что две одинаковые новости можно встретить на одной странице.

Finally, it's a right decision at a right time. We've been long for it after ages of frustration wt the uploadxxx shits.

Hat off for you, Avax, and don't pay attention to crappy comments from greedy so-called publishers such as st4lk3r or the likes.

I definitely second this ;)

Нет, это не смешно. Это такая же идея, как "капитализм", или "коммунизм". Или “демократия”. То есть - вечная идея. Эта идея может нравиться. Может не нравиться. НО. Она владеет умами и формирует наши жизни.

you can mix between ONE Rapidshare(Filefactory or Megaupload) link & Another Depositfiles(Easyshare, ...)link in the future. ;)

best AVAX news so far.

to set things clearer, we don't want to be hostile against other hosting service only because they aren't RS, filefactory, and megaupload.

uploading.com and easyshare are horrible services they don't deserve to be on the internet.

uploadbox is fine for small and medium files; good speed, low load on browser not too much ads, links are available always, and it stays a variant at least !.

talking about 4shared, 4shared is the best free file hosting\publishing service it's very clever and successful business. But we must understand it's not suitable to post links in websites like AVAX especially when large and many links.

glad to see AVAX on the web, glad for such attitude.

but Depositfiles is really good.
why not to include on the free list ?! ;)

i agree with the rule...but it s becoming very difficult and annoying to upload on RS .... files are removed so fast (especially the movies)

thanks alot for this dicision ,thank you avaxsphere ,thank uploaders,thanks all of you

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡good decisions!!!!!! were really neccesary

2 Mitsu: It`s not actualy free. People see: "No slots for your country".

Извини, но это бред. Или проблема с твоим провайдером.
Все эти сервисы дают полный канал при скачивании с премиумом (а без премиума тебе рапида и ФФ столько не дадут. Или дадут, но далеко не всегда).

В качестве совета: используй качалку. Многие провы режут канал для браузера. То есть для одиночной закачки есть димит скорости. Поставишь N - получишь весь канал

RS although very popular in Third world Countries it has security issues with them and easier to manipulate and hijack accounts with those fake rapid link being posted every single day here. There's a reason why some Posters prefer using the alternative and other brands of File Hosting so they can protect the users and as well themselves, plus to even the playing ground with the monopoly that RS has. When Third rated countries are upset that they can't download from say "______" File Hosting company, don't get upset with the Poster get upset with your Government they restricted you guys for a reason not us.

The rule is good I don't mind the more the better when users can have access to all Files. But don't forget about the Posters that works hard to find these Free material share only to have their thread Hijacked by Mirrors and Scammers. If Posters can have access to delete bad comments I think it would be fair and it also helps the Avax because not all Mods have the time to scan and clean out through each and every post in here.

And Jeterro

RS - Speed over here is only 50Kb/s tops
Megaupload - 1600KB/s in New York
DepositFile - 140KB/s in New York

Don't whine about so called 'Third World countries'.
You are on lamer ISP. Stop bullshitting.

Also, it has NOTHING to do with governments.
Those restrictions are on a purely COMMERCIAL basis.
If you don't know how Internet Exchange hubs work - and what they're for, don't bother claiming 'oooh... you terrorists'.
be smart.

What about adding a way so Avaxers could directly complaint about excessive or phishing comments ? For exemple a "Complaint about this comment" button which will appear for registered Avax users next each comment. I guess it will be easier and faster.

@Morocco - Appreciated feature.
Durign the weekens I reported 4 phishers to Torai. Now multiply this a several hundred times...

>Alexpal Я про залив фаилов на сервер! Uploading!
>I`m Talking about UPloading speed, not DOWNLOADING.

Да, я не понял.

Залей на рапиду, а оттуда по ремоту на все остальное. Будет вообще мегаскорость заливки. Максимум, что я видел - это 15 Mbps на депозит и ФФ. Ремот с рапиды поддерживают 80% сервисов. Быстро и просто :)

Однако, прямая заливка на депозит у меня (к примеру) вообще дает 2-5 Kbps (при канале шесть Мбит). Так что это еще вполне приличные цифры :)

Braaaavoooo!!!!!!

@ diabolo

Megaupload PAYS up to $2 / 1000 DL
Filefaktory PAYS up to $2 / 1000 DL, too
From the 3 mentioned above only RS gives points but MANY users are selling those RS accounts_for_points for REAL MONEY.

@ binosaurs

No way! There was ftp2share some times ago (similar to rapidspread) and now we have THOUSANDS dead posts with ftp2share links.

I don't pay anything for my RS.com premium accounts... those resourceful and smart enough would realize how easy it is to get a legal premium legitimate account for free!

CrewZ ;)

@ binosaurs

Yes iFile.IT is very good and reliable

they should add it to list

i am so happy that Avax finally came to his sense about these people who are spamming his site with shit links, this site was going down the drain fast

ooops double post, deleteme

Alexpal, Так у меня на рапиду скорость никакая, да и слишком много возни..=/

В свете новых правил добавлю немного инфы. Ибо, как показывает опыт, мало кто читает FAQи.

Если вы захотите заработать деньги на установленных новыми правилами сервисах, то учтите, что:
1. На Меге вы их получите, только если ваш аккаунт КУПЛЕН (Paypal, как правило). При простой регистрации вы сможете только копить пойнты и делать акк премиумом. Не более того
2. На ФФ также ПОКУПАЙТЕ аккаунт. Официально. С рук вам продадут код для премиума. Да, с него вы сможете получать деньги, но бонусы за рефов вам не пойдут на такой аккаунт.
3. Вывод на ФФ и Меге через палку

Posted By: Morocco Date: 30 Mar 2009 14:14 I agree with this too. Would you add Mediafire to the free mirror list ?

”

------------------------------------------------------------

Even in a Democracy, we must sometimes change the rules for the good of the whole community. To that end, I agree, in part, with AvaxHome’s decision to restrict publication mirrors to the best (or most trouble-free) free-file hosting services. However, I think AvaxHome has overlooked and omitted free file-host, MediaFire (MF), which is just as good (reliable), or better in some respects, as their Top 3 picks as illustrated by the comparison below.

Here's what free-users encounter when they download from RapidShare (RS), FileFactory (FF) and Megaupload (MU):
Verification Code (FF, MU) + Wait (RS & MU) and then download with "restricted download" speed.

This is what free users experience with MediaFire (MF):
No code, no wait, no download speed restriction!

Here's a free user service comparison of MF, RS, FF and MU:

Unlimited storage – MF=Yes | RS=No | FF=500GB** | MU=200GB w/ file mgr.
Upload Max. Size per file – MF=100MB | RS=200MB | FF=300MB | MU=1GB
Unlimited uploads – All=Yes
Unlimited downloads – MF=Yes! | RS, FF, MU=Yes, but with "Time and/or Amount Restrictions"
Unlimited number of simultaneous downloads – MF=Yes! | RS, FF, MU=No
Use 3rd Party Downloader – MF=Yes | RS=No | FF=No | MU=Yes
Unlimited bandwidth – MF=Yes! | RS, FF, MU=Restricted

With the exception of upload file size, MediaFire is a more reasonable and flexible service for free-users.

Therefore, I think (and probably others) that MediaFire is worthy of AvaxHome's strong consideration of being added to the authorized list of free-file hosts.

great decision, tnx

and if someone doing duplicate and avax moderators did not see because he is tricking you....to who do i have to send PM? who s taking care for publishing and moderating post on avax at this hour of the day?
Pasha doest not seem to be here at this time

What about an Avax forum ?

@ProCon1
What a great comment !

Greatt!!!! God bles AVAX!!!

BTW, why <strong>mediafire</strong> is not included?

I agree, good news.

Congratulations team.

Excellent! Very much appreciated. Great news.

Rule should never been changed in the first place. As for the selfish gits in here. If you didnt have downloaders you wouldnt upload. Glad its back to normal now.

First off Avax is the greatest post COMMUNITY. Does every one catch the meaning of the second half of that word... COMM"...UNITY"? (Communicate Unity!)
To those who have visited Avax 4 a long time, hosts such as Rapidshare were typically the unwritten DOMINATING 'rule'... but not really a 'rule'. It was just that the older Avax community always knew that certain hosts were a RELIABLE asset to the goals and purpose 4 Avax considering their members and friends.
I disagree with u willsxx. U can STILL use ur "crappy" hosts and if they r reliable for anyone then u'll still make ur precious $$$. But if ur hosts r unreliable 4 most, that hurts the community overall. And the logic for these shit hosts r self-defeating anyway; if one can't connect the DL because the host is shit, then u uploaders make NOTHING in the long run 4 all ur hard work and waste ur time upping great stuff to incompetent hosts. RELIABILITY is the statement of a well run community.
Some other poster made comment about Rapidshare belonging to greedy swiss bankers. Is this the same as money focused uploaders? Where is the difference?
Thank u Pasha and to all the other Avax team 4 a very wise decision that goes to bring the community into better harmony and respect!
I know guys like tot work hard to post links and his problem is his country prevented posting to RS. But tot is always kind enough (like a few others) to allow someone to post an RS link. This helps in the spirit of co-operation 4 those unable to post better links.
Also I find Morocco's comment useful to add a button in the posts to report a phishing link. That would b quick way to keep the community cleaned up and self monitored.
Many, many thanks again Avax 4 all!

wise decision

downloaders are always complaining, for instance 90% of the comments on this topic are coming from ppl who has never published anything on avax!...the more rules you put on publisher the more they gonna leave avax.
before i putted RS links and they were not happy and were making mirrors, so now i offer two options (RS + file factory or RS + Megaupload or RS + uploading) and they still making mirrors or complaining!!!
what to do?:)

Вопрос авторам. Понятно что рапидные ссылки будут больше всего заглушать скачивания. А что нащет мегауплода и ФФ?

anyway tot and his friend are making a great job.....if they wont do it who would come on avax?

I think, megaupload is even worse than uploading.com.
other than that, I support this decision.
odobryams :))

Great RULE Yeah Yeah...

This site is awesome, it not just encourages publishers to post and share, but also "protects" downloaders from crappy filehosts.

Long life AVAXHOME!

BTW, as far as I can see, downloaders and leechers are needed by publishers, or else no one would download the archives they post. So I'm glad with this new rule.

200% with you cmdreamer

@ du3bj3

You are right, tot167 is a lazybones - he just snaps and posts emerge from nowhere...
Try it yourself - I don't see ANY posts at your AH blog

"yes himself and his ukranian and moldovan buddies" - f*ck off with this xenophobic remark!

"posting original working rapidshare,ifile,megaupload,mediafire links" - firs of all, READ the rules - "Stealing links from other sites is forbidden at AvaxHome"

I truly advise people to move away from hosts who do not give anything in exchange for uploaders, these hosts are ONLY PROFITING from the ups and downloads, plain and direct profit! To upload to these places is nothing more than directly feed the profit over theft. If you want a complete free service go for TORRENTS! But don't keep pushing these bloodsucking hypocritical hosts who don't give anything in exchange for their free propaganda and profit over warez.

These 3 selected filehosts as a must are perfect! Increasing the number of allowed hosts will only increase confusion and diminish the the so very purpose of restricting/asking for some specific file-host, the evenness and universality for both downloaders and uploaders. Besides some people buy premium accounts to get the goods faster and cleaner (direct downloads, download managers, more download slots for a single file, resuming, scheduled downloads...). Having to pay for 3 different file hosts to keep updated with a SINGLE SITE offerings is already too much if you think about; of course you can always try to get stuff for free. But if you only want to download and never pay for a premium you might be as well downloading form the wrong places, the correct would be Torrents (i say it again). The purpose of file-hosts is, profit over making things easier/faster for you to get your daily warez.

File hosts have to be reliable for the UPLOADER as well, having FTP/Resuming upload access, organizing tools, etc. makes the things go smooth and keep the uploader from loosing precious time to provide some angry/ungrateful downloaders with goods.

These 3 are perfect and everybody will have an easy time with them if you consider you are getting stuff FOR FREE! I also advise the uploaders to always add a link to Amazon or other store, so the angry leechers can find a better way to grab the goods...

WTF du3bj3, where do u think any of this shit comes from, huh? Leech upon leech, upon leech, upon leech, upon leech, ...ad infinitum! It's ALL fucking leeched from somewhere. The point is IT TAKES TIME to do this shit. Try not to make it thankless at least.

@hue and nigrrrrrrr
as i said 90% of the complainers are ppl who have never posted anything! they dont understand and respect the time and the work publishers have spent to upload and prepare the post!!!
they dont understand how painful it is when someone make mirror on your publications, they dont understand how painful it is when someone full of frustration decide to create problem on your post,and how painful it is to be insulted almost every day

@likan...... Thats what i wanted to SAY....... well said...

Monopoly of the huge ones.

Rapidshare gives points but points can be converted by money.
have you ever seen the Reward Part ?
30000 points means 33$ then 10000 points for 3,3$
of course Rapidshare don't give the cash but it's the same ;)

That's Life. Each days, i will try to put the good links on my posts but i don't think it's a Avaxhome prob if Ftp2share will die.
i have many posts to midify, it will take me more than one month to find & change all the dead Ftp2share links by the good ones. ^^

I never paid for my Premium Rapidshare account too. I won a one month premium account on "Happy Hours time" and this account grown and bit's the on i have today(many years).
it was not the same a problem with Rapidshare.de coz i lost all my uploads :(



but nobody talk about DepositFiles.com coz for the "oldest" Uploaders, it's one of the best.
Depositfiles it's oldest garanted Filesharing site (born in 2006).
Not really a limit on File size.
Unlimited files can be stored.
QUite speedy upload in HTTP(Single or Multi) or FTP(personnal) or Their Personnal Uploader utility.
Many advantage in points, cash, challenge, etc... only for some pleasure uploaders game :)
and for the old members(have an account since 2006-2007), you can win more than 10-15$ / 1000 DL if you are lucky. I don't think you can found better anywhere?! ^^
of course, the new coming don't have that kind of prize.
but like Rapidshare, Depositfiles can delete a lot when they see illegal things.
Filefactory don't delete a lot but Kick your ASS from earn advantage and it do it for REAL. so if you will be kicked, you can have points but those points don't give you anything if you were in their "black list".

Yes, Filefactory is the lamest Filesharing site for active uploaders. :( !!!! Please don't try this !!!

@likan, I'm not sure if ur complaining about something I say. If I complain it's NOT bcauz I pay 4 a RS premium. When there is nothing else I try the shit hosts, but if they r dead, fukd or stupid it must b noted only when 4 good cause. I do agree with u, I said it IS a lot of work so why not make ur post the most dependable?
If ur pain is so great, I recommend using some 1000 to 2000 mg Vicodin WITH Soma, excellent combo. Nirvana bliss and pain no more. btw, thank u 4 ur posts.
@likan PS: Oh, ok I wasn't sure. but cool, I hope ur shit is from those huge afghani 'basketball' seeds that go purple in 3-4 months. that works too.

i m not complaining i was agreeing!:-)
no i prefer stuff from my own harvest,i do not like chimical shit! but sometime even jack herer cannot help enough to manage bullshit from crazy dudes!
@nigrrrrrrr: seed are from sensi seed bank(bought it 12 years years ago and still cloning !!! but flowering still very long 90 days min.):-)

Great! Thanks for your decision.

Regards from Turkey

@Avax

Honestly i don`t agree with this decision, but i will follow the rules, but now read all the comments written here, and see from all these who are shouting so much that they agree, what they contributed, most of them nothing !!! In my opinion with this decision Avax is risking to loose some of the most active posters.

regards
joe

Nothing News on rules about illegal links from Mirror-men ?! that's unfair ^^

have a question that might sound stupid, how many downloading sites+mirrors r allowed in total?

Great news. I was away from this site because of the crappy file hosts and coming here only for posting. Increase in quality will benefit all.

Everybody try to remember, this decision is to balance many concerns with Avax. Personally, if I presently had the time to post stuff, Rapidshare would b my first choice of link then MediaFire then mayb DF.

@diabolo
once again a person who has never posted anything and whos complaining!!!
linkbee is made to hide from where is downloaded the file! and you just have to click on the button on the right top of the page to go directly to you download!....am i making money with linkbee? YES! but max 25/30 dollars per month. but please have a look on this topic:
http://www.avaxhome.ws/avaxhome_news/FDNLinks.html
and you will understand that:(from Torai)
"Posting clear links to popular file hosting is not a good idea because it limits their life.That's the reason why many posters trying to protect their links."
....so i can change and using the one offered by avax , which is exactly the same!!!

@diabolo
thats good enough for me!
mainly i do magazines and jazz rip which are unique files! i dont do games (minimum 30 links) or not too much movies and i provide Rapidshare and mirrors!
and by the way i m offering a premium account almost everyday to my avax mates.
so please dont talk to me about sharing!!!

Bravo, excellent decision, there was a lot of use of crappy download servers.

The rule is that you, as the publisher, must use one of the 3 services stated to host the original files. It is a good rule, for the most part, but I would eliminate FileFactory from the list. Rapidshare.com has been a rock for me, with 4500 files hosted there, many since October 2006. This is about reliability. The ability to actually get the files you were after, not have the transfer slow down to 10 kbps and break halfway through. The ability to upload files and not have them go dead after 2 years because the filehosting company closed down (remember shareonall??). The ability to not get pissed off at the uploader because you don't want to pay for their choice of service. You don't have a rapidshare account? Well that's fine, albeit a bit unmotivated on your part, but you can rest assured that the files will still be there when you have the time to grab them, and they will be accessible from whatever country to are downloading in.

I have never tried uploading to megaupload or any other filehosting company, so I don't know how smooth uploads go there, but my connection is roughly 5Mb/s upload, and I can utilize it all uploading to rapidshare (~620 kB/s). You want to say I earn profit through points? Well, be my guest, but I only ever used points to extend my account there, any leftovers I give 30-day accounts away to friends. The practice of selling accounts online is completely abhorrent to me.

Torrents are indeed the best way to be completely free, finally one point Mr. Cereal and I can agree on. But this is not a torrent site, so discussions should be based around what the site is all about.

This is a very good rule, and I applaud Avax for implementing it. Good show, my friend. If you want to use one of your profit-sharing filehosters, or some localized host, add it as a mirror in addition to a RS or MU link.

@likan & diabolo

French : Mais arrêtez vous deux ! diabolo, tu plains likan parce que linkbee lui apporte quelques sous par mois, et alors ? C'est comme si tu blâmais Avaxhome.ws parce qu'ils ont des revenus grâce aux annonces publicitaires ! likan partage des centaines de fichiers, et s'il gagne un peu de sous à pour son partage et son temps passé à poster et à uploader, je ne vois pas le problème ?

Personne n'oblige personne à partager, et personne n'oblige personne à télécharger.

most of the time I see mirror on my posts has nothing to do with what I see in da mirra .. big afghani pellets, therefore I do not care much ... my post usually include "crap" if you can call it crap host, but also RS or MU alongside at the minimum ... and still you get whiners ... shit if my upload is 16Gb in 2 mirrors what else do whiners want?
New rule is good as long as RS does not push monopoly ... I am into HD and limited DL imposed by RS for premium users is a big problem for me.
Measuring which host is "crapy" and which not is pointless, all have benefits depending on your location.

I can easily get 1000kbps on MU and Netload as free user - on the other hand you do not
You can easily get 1000kbps of DF or FF - but I do not
I not like for example file size limits, because all my UPS incl recovery% - RS is hindering me with 200, NL is better with 400, MU even better with 1000 and even UB with 2000 ...

therefore all this discussion is pointless depending on your location and access to hosts.
I will continue posting RS or MU or NL + "your crappy" hosts bevause for some the crappy are the best ..

cheers and stop whining and bitchin'

2 Mitsu:
>but like Rapidshare, Depositfiles can delete a lot when they see illegal things.
>Filefactory don't delete a lot
No. I work with FF a long time. Removes of files. Without problems. And faster than Depositfiles. Also is cases of reduction of bonuses in affiliate program

@ barrix

>It depends where you post your uploads

What a question! You're at AvaxHome! The true question is why are you not posting anything here?

@Alexpal & barrix
I had a Premium account on Filefactory in Past.
I've done so many uploads than the download was also many and wins to many points for us.
they always says me to clean my files with old files with more than 3 month without downloads but i never clean anything. I reach 100 GB of size and it was a problem for Filefactory staff.
then he send me a mail to ask me that my points will not be include like Earn points and all my cash was not be given. I lost 500$ and after that i never win any money from my points then i have lost my Premium account coz no money to buy new one.
Coz Filefactory his also lame on there payment accounts coz if you pay in cash, it's less expensive than if you use points to increase your own account with one month.
So i always pay my Upgrade Premium account via paypal in cash but when i see that i was in their "Black List" & don't send me any more cash for my support, i have only one way to quit Filefactory.

So be careful with Filefactory. If one day filefactory don't pay you, it's the end ;)

i never found the same probs on Depositfiles or Rapidshare.
for Rapidshare, they block the files supected illegal but the points earned are EARN and only this file is deleted and not all the files have the same destiny(not like you have on filefactory, they found 2 or 3 illegals files, then no money for you for this month)
for Depositfiles, when they found an illegal file, it's quite simple, they wrote near the file "Deleting in action" and after "delete". When they test a correct file, Depositfiles put "Verified" & this files will be never tested again or deleted.

so for me, Filefactory is not a good choice like Free mirror choice.

Rapidshare is the best for all!!!
Depositfiles is really friendship in improove their offers each month(less or more) and gives also more country access in future.
Megaupload is a quite bussness site but really fast & cool too.

this is my Top3 ^^

What about mediafire, axifile?

Is this an early April Fools' Day joke gone bad? Filefactory.com should be omitted from the list!

@ FredCouples

Why didn't you use Mediafire yourself, then? In all your posts at AH (I mean in all ONE post) are Rapidshare and Megaupload links.
And even if there'll be Mediafire on the list who will use it? You can choose one of these free hosts and (almost) nobody will use Mediafire.

Rules permit a better use. I agree with this decision

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Thumbs up!

I was waiting for something like this. Great decision.

Hats off.
Avaxhome rules as usual.

Hurray!!! Excellent!!!
Finally Avaxhome admins have intervened and taken the right decision.

Thank you!

Hooray!!! Avax rules!

Avax,

I have read all the comments posted before me, and I think I do have to raise some points myself. Before anything else, I make it clear here that I always use rapidhsare (RS) as filehost because downloads of my posts earn points and I use these points to extend my premium account with it. Now please allow me to direct your attention to the following:

1) In the Rules & FAQ page the new rule is of course added, but this old rule still remains, to wit:

“

Comments with "mirrors" will be deleted ONLY IF publisher post files at least on TWO DIFFERENT FILE HOSTS. (example on rapidshare and deposite, or megaupload, uploding and deposite etc.) Also comments with "mirrors" will be deleted IF files in comments was hosted at the same file host as using in publication. (example deposite at publication and deposite at comments) IN ANY OTHER CASE "MIRRORS" IN COMMENTS ARE ALLOWED!!! P.S. And please respect publisher's request about "No Mirrors".

”

Now, since the above-quoted rule still exists it means it should and must, still be followed. However, i notice that it is hardly, if ever, followed and enforced. Understandably, the sheer volume of submitted posts and comments preclude any number of moderators from efficinetly doing this. But more importantly, don't you think the new rule clashes with, and is contrary to, the old one quoted above? I, too, maintain that requests for others to desist from posting mirrors must be respected; in this regard I believe that the NEW rule just implemented has superseded this old one, and must be deemed to have done so.

Therefore may i most respectfully suggest that from now on, no more comments with mirrors should be allowed? In other words, all comments bearing links that mirror that of the publisher should, and must, henceforth be deleted. This would certainly level the field, because this would effectively stop this common practice of leeching off of the published posts in Avaxhome. Another positive result of such a policy would be to encourage more here to participate in the process of publication. Instead of merely waiting for others to post links that they could mirror, as a significant number here do, with a little bit more of extra effort they could publish their own.

CerealRipper on 30 Mar 2009 16:50 wrote as much. He said,

“

...Uploaders have to follow strict rules and always come up with NEW UNDUPLICATED content, but leechers/mirrorers can do whatever they want in the comments.

”

hue on 30 Mar 2009 16:54 also echoed CerealRipper's concern about "comments with mirrors" and mentioned the old rule i quoted as well.

2. MediaFire is an awarded free filehost and has established a reputation for itself. Moreover, uploads to it are relatively fast, regardless of geographic location, which seems to be a legitimate concern for many. May I then also most respectfully suggest that it be included among RS and Megaupload in lieu of Filefactory as the prescribed filehosts for mirrors?

ProCon1 on 30 Mar 2009 19:06 and Morocco on 30 Mar 2009 14:14 both recommended MediaFire. BlackwatchPlaid on 30 Mar 2009 22:29 suggested eliminating Filefactory while Mitsu on 30 Mar 2009 23:42 likewise shed light on some concerns about it.

Sincerely,

WEATHERMAX

muchas gracias por la decision... Para un argentin es barato comprar una cuenta en rapidshare y estamos en el tercer mundo... asi que no entiendo eso de no querer pagar nada.....
Avax es lo maximoooo

Thank you for the decision... For Argentine citizen is cheaper to buy an account in rapidshare and we are in the third world...so i do not understand that of not pay for nothing ..... Avax is the maximum

Why is Deposit not on the list, up to today a pub with a Desposit link was good. What happened to the rule: add at leat a mirror on RS, MU or Deposit?

please add Deposit to the list (just bought an account)

Its OK for me, Centralamerika salutes!

excellent decision, let the mirrors include icefile.net or mihd.net

THANK YOU! Its about time. and a great decision!

PS I love this site!

The posters are observing the rules, and this what they receive in the comments

Posted By: KeyserSöze Date: 31 Mar 2009 05:49
NO RAPIDSHARE NO RULES

What a load of detritus Avax. If someone wants to comment with a free mirror, that has not already been used by the publisher, let them.

Excellent, Thank you :)

i am here in the southeast asia region and i can not download from uploadbox ad uploading. Thanks to the administrators for letting us post in sites that r accesible to the max ammount of avaxusers.

Common guys, what are doing? By this desicion you will lose a lot of your true publishers. Please, at least, add deposit.

I agree!!!
Now that's what I call "Avaxhome rules!" hahaha!

Yeah, uploading and their kinds are really annoying. I never ever could download anything from those kinds of link.
Rapidshare is the best!!

Way to go, Avaxhome! Rapidshare and Megaupload are the top 2 best download site! Excellent!

Ну не знаю у каждого есть свои + и -. Мне очень не нравится рапида тем что есть ограничения на ип адрес и после скачивания приходится ждать минут 19. И мне не понятна та радость с которой встречен именно этот сервис. На мой вкус самый ненавязчивый сервис у uploading.com, на данный момент. Хотел бы ещё предложить подумать о публикации файлов без архивации. Мне кажется это только лишняя морока а пользы никакой.

after reading all the comments i think the best choice for Free mirror will be(if i was on Avaxhome staff of course ;) )

rapidshare.com
megaupload.com
depositfiles.com
mediafire.com

all those sites are most wanted, most wished & less critics

filefactory.com must be kick coz perhaps it's quite nice for leechers(download fast but wait for a counter & Catcha) but it's a Nightmare for Active Uploaders.

of course, i'm not responsable of rules but for me it will be a good choice ^^

2 Mitsu:
Your servers and mihd.net(aka ifile.it) :)

@ Alexpal

yes please add ifile.it to the list, its been around since 2005 (as mihd.net) and no need to wait or look at "no sluts for your country" messages

mediafire.com is also good

these 2 have been mentioned several times in this thread

thank you

So....

rapidshare.com
megaupload.com
depositfiles.com
mediafire.com
ifile.it

^^ D-R-E-A-M---L-I-S-T ^^

I'd say ifile.it
its fast and reliable and has no limitaions

@escadajr

we are not searching for the top 3 of the most used server in the net but the best choose for avaxusers on avaxhome.
We are not so Unique to be considered like the center of the world :)

and i don't think your stats are good coz if you search for the most popular filesharing site in asia called xun6.com, i think it beat all the others only in china or japan ^^

I have to say that after some testing Depositfiles is an amazing surprise! I have never uploaded anything there, but it has a feature that amazed me in my tests. I can upload anything there and the site actually allows me to grab the link from all of them and mirror FOR FREE anywhere else. So i can upload 7GBs there, grab the links and send to rapidshare, megaupload or anywhere else.... very nice indeed and strongly recommended to uploaders to makes things easier to comply with the new rule!

in my experience, these are the best:

rapidshare
depositfiles
filefactory
megaupload

in that order but the gold service of depositfiles is much better than the premium of rapidshare... and there's a new service called hotfile.com, i downloaded 700 mb of a movie at good speed, and i don't know... looks good... can be bad who knows heheh :)

@Jepee

tu par les beaucoup comme une maquerelle
good boy!!:)

@Cheater list

I never understand what those guys posts news.
what is the interest in posting fake links ?!
strange mentality ?!?!?!

More scams in the book's coments:

http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/science_books/physics/Biological_physics.html
http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/19055963.html
http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/90427750.html

And many more, all the books were obeying the rule (of course) and still the scammers are taking advantage of the new rule to fool people.

Please admins, consider closing the comments for the book posts. Almost nobody thanks, they just post mirrors and scams. These mirrors sometimes are not the same content, and sometimes they are filled with additional stuff till a certain minimum size to grab points. Leave just rapidshare and megaupload as a must if you want to, but avoid avoidable annoyances in the comments.

BTW, I am geting this from filefactory:

“

Sorry, there are currently no free download slots available on this server. Please try again later, or you can upgrade to FileFactory Premium below for instant access.

”

And all the book posters should have the links named according to the file-host name to avoid having these stupid scammers fooling people telling there is no free mirror.

And fuck Mediafire and ifile.it!

you right cereal ripper

DepositFiles is just as crappy a file host, whether you are a free user or have a Gold account and I've used it as both. I avoid it now and will always look for alternative mirrors. It all depends on one's geographical location, but this never seems to be taken into consideration by those touting its services. The same applies to many hosts.

I do agree with those touting for MediaFire. I have a free account there, but have used it less due to file size limitations. FileFactory never gives me a problem and didn't even before I had an account with them.

As for the "no mirrors" rule being broken all the time, I was told by somebody here that there is a certain moderator who ignores that rule and does nothing about it. Maybe he will ignore this new one, too?

Guess away, because I won't divulge the identities of these two people.

So if I publish something do I have to add RS + MU links or is just one RS links enough? Because I posted my last publication with an MU mirror, but if just RS will be enough then I will stick to RS.

Thanks for running Avaxhome.

@franklee

>As for the "no mirrors" rule being broken all the time, I was told by somebody here that there is a certain moderator who ignores that rule and does nothing about it. Maybe he will ignore this new one, too?

At AH is at least 300.000 publications, nobody is ignoring mirrors, but how ONE mod (Pasha) can look after such a HUGE number of posts???

There is more than one Moderator here.

This is the best news I have heard for some time.Lets all cooperate and get back to the spirit of sharing on which this site (The Best) and other sites were founded.Thanks Admin.!!!

>There is more than one Moderator here.

Yes, there are two of them if I'm not mistaken, but Bully is a rare guest I think (and I think and hope Bully will be not bullying me for saying it :) )

I agree with AVAX that there should atleast be a good hosted site in the links to download and no site with hidden links.

My best three are
Rapidshare.com (King of the universe)
Megaupload.com (King of the world)
Mediafire -------- (Prince?)
Mediafire - just used this recently and found it to be good. Good speed no issues at all. One of the three above should be required.


Upload box and uploading are horrendous and a real pain to download. If some selfish posters leave then so be it.
Someone else will take their space...

See YA!
------------------------------------------------------------
Old crap like the below need to be removed..
Deposit File
FileFactory

Dont just delete posts of cheaters..

Delete them or ban them and their ip from Avax.

We dont need any more shit.
thanks.

Yeeeeaaaaah! At last a great rule! You rock, Avax!

@machinchin

That is why i recommended Depositfiles to uploaders, you can upload there grab the links and send the files to other hosts for free.

@diabolo

I know you can use trafficshare from rapidshare, but it is paid, and quite expensive. I didn't know about this Happy Hour, so i can send the links anywhere and have only 10% of my traffic share discounted??

The Host Spreaders upload your stuff and get all the reward points for themselves, they are quite smart... besides they only accept uploads through the web, although this is ok for many it doesn't work for me.

The only one i found that allows you to use the link freely and send it anywhere else, to your OWN premium account, was depositfiles, but let me know if there is another, i am quite interested. This Rapidshare Happy hour sounds interesting...

Thanks Bro for such a nice and hard steps in favour of users ....................
I really thanks YOu

Great Rule and nice decision

I totally agree with you, the posters in the book section are obeying the rules, but we still have scammers, the book section is the easiest to take advantage of the work of the posters, because usually files are not so big, so please admins consider this idea, the rules must be for everybody, not only for who is giving so much to avax.

joe

YES............THAT´S WHAT I CALL CLEAR AND PERFECT USEFUL DECISION....CONGRATULATIONS

Nice decision AVAX!
Thumbs Up!

@diabolo

Thanks a lot for the info and extra thanks for the superuploader.net.

Great management

Thanks a zillion

The best news I’ve heard from this site in ages. Naming and shaming these culprits is also a plus. Well done.

Excellent decision!

Great decision!

As suggested by others, please replace filefactory with mediafire or even zshare

filefactory always gives the message "all downloads slots filled, please try again later" Even when filefactory works, it is slow.

It´s not much known, that Mediafire - although being a free hoster - allows downloading of multiple files!! So it MUST be included!! (and uploading there is fast, too).
A good decision, thanks.

I must recommend Mediafire as well for allowing the downloading of multiple files.

Thank You very much Avax for your decisions!
And +1 for mediafire :)

Excellent decision, Avax.

One suggestion. To make it easier for you to screen the rogues, can u not have an option (link) that says "report violation" or someting of this sort on every uplded post? This way users can bring to yr attention as soon as they come across a violation. One such I came across is:

http://avaxhome.ws/video/eLearning/digitalphotographyunleashedcapturingwildlygreatpictures.html

Pls look into it. Thks.

Sure thanks.

great rules guys! it was about time!!!

THAAAAAAAAAAANKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Good, now everyone understands that the rules will be enforced.

I must admit it's a clever rule.
Not too democratic, but good.
And I insist...
Why not "torrentize" the files posted?
With such a community it woul be fast track to trackers!

Why not "torrentize" the files posted?

This is a very good suggestion, I must admit.
It would give the users an additional option to have the books in torrents. If people dutifully seed the files (which ,I for one, always do), they will be just as accessible.

Great idea that will benefit all avax community.
One question though: What is meant by "FREE mirror"? Does it mean a server that anyone in the world can access? In my experience and in my country there are many "free" servers that are not accessible, but it seems people in other countries have no problem. I can't comment on Rapidshare because I have a rs account, but of the others:
DepositFiles - very frustrating, works between 1 in 5 (on a good day) and 1 in 50 times (on a bad day)
MegaUpload - seems to work most the time
FileFactory - seems to work most the time (yay! it didn't use to)
Mediafire - doesn't work
UploadBox - used to work 100% but doesn't work anymore
FileSharing - used to work 100% but doesn't work anymore

What might be a good idea is to get a poll from people around the world about which servers work in their country and which don't. No doubt some will lie for their own gain, but I'm sure tot167 posted a book on avax about how to interpret statistics :)

There was a good point made earlier regarding sites like ftp2share disappearing and therefore thousands of links were lost - it strengthens the need for using good sharing hosts that will still be around in a few years time, and that generally means having to go with the "big" or "monopoly" guys, as much as it may annoy some. I know RS has deleted files, but you can still find working links more than 2 years old.

I liked Morocco's suggestion about a complaint button. But it would create extra work for the avax team to deal with every time the button is clicked.

Also I see some comments/complaints about things that I can't find anywhere in the rules, for example:
@louistreize
>If someone wants to comment with a free mirror, that has not already been used by the publisher, let them.
Maybe I missed it but the new rule didn't say they can't. In fact I don't see any mention in this new rule about comments, so I presume these "crappy" file hosts are allowed in comments? They annoy me too, but it's a free world.

One design suggestion to the avax team:
When comments are posted they should be checked against a warning list of strings (like "rapidshare-com"). If the comment is "clean" it is posted as normal, but if the string is found in the comment it goes to an approval queue and the avax team is alerted. You can then check the comment and click the approve or delete button. And the delete button deletes, no notification to the commenter, no dialog. You can be open and post the list in rules for everyone to see (I'm sure the list will be really short, no more than 2 or 3 lines to start with). It would help keep the avax community safe. And I'm sure the avax community will help you keep the list up to date with their comments.

Yep, totally agree with this. Rapidshare & Megaupload are the best out there.

Thumbs up and hats off!
Many thanks for this great, simple, clear and sane decision.

very good decision!!!

Thank you Avax!!

Pls add Mediafire in Free list..

Congratulations, excellent decision!

Спасибо большое, но решение по поводу того, что простой обмен?

Aren't uploading.com and uploadbox free?
They sure are to me and way better than depositfiles or filefactory.
But surely Megaupload is the best of all the free file host, the faster, certainly.

EXCELLENT DECISION .....EXCELLENT ADMIN JOB

long live to AVAX

Thanks a lot because it was so hard to download with other. Rs, megaupload are mutch easy for my because I'm afiliate. Great decision and thank a lot for all of works ;o)

имхо - горячих новостей(софт) станет в разы меньше. Радость лишь юзерам)), но и они потянутся со временем на иные сайты, всё с той же целью - получить свежий софт. Так что, палка о двух концах и через 2-3 месяца это станет заметно. Грустняк для заливающих), но и они перейдут на другие ресурсы. Потери в свежести софта и его разнообразии будут очевидны.

i doubt you will read all the comments till mine ... ;) but thanks !

that s a good and sensible rule. Free world means free for all !

thaks a lot avax, your a good management team such decision was expected from you , thanks again from Nador / Morocco.

Great decision!
Greeting from Vienna, Austria.

well done & thanks.

Okay, after looking at comments above, the FAQ & Rules, and how the new rule is applied by publishers, I'm a bit confused. For example someone provides the correct mirrors according to the new rule and then say "NO MIRRORS according to the new rules". But the new rules does not disallow mirrors in comments! Or does it? Some of the comments above say the same thing, but where does this come from? Have I missed something? I don't want to add mirrors in comments but I do want to understand the scope of this new rule.

Thanx Thanx Thanx - what took you so long !

Haven't downloaded anything in weeks because of all these "going around in circles and never download anything" websites

THATS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE SPIRIT OF SHARING........P2P IS NOT ABOUT MONEY.......LETS GET RID OF GREEDY CRAPS! AND ONE MORE THING...HOPE YOU HAVE SECURED YOUR SERVER AGAINST Conficker worm AKA APRIL FOOL VIRUS......WITH BEST REGARDS

Excellent decision, it was becoming a waste of time finding something interesting then discovering it was impossible to download.

Rick

Great decision. Standing up for the cause of sharing on avaxhome, we all welcome this new rule. Lots of good stuff is missed due to crapshit links which never give access to the files..especially uploading.

Good job and keep it up.... Avaxhome rooooooooooooooooooooooooooccccccccccccckkkkkssssss!!!!!!

It seems that some of you are paying by Rapidshit. lol!!! I agree in general with the new rule, but I got used to uploading and uploadbox, I can't see a problem with them at all.

Great!!!!!!!

Avax

Я надеюсь ты читаеш еще эту тему)))

Мое мнение стоит добавить в шапку депозит. Без него дествительно произойдет отток постящих. С депозита не проблема скачать как и с рапиды (или так же проблематично, все зависит от того - какой ip, ести ли премиум, и т.д.). Для меня всегда была в первую очередь рапида, но по опыту могу сказать - запрет депозита приведет к оттоку.

Это мое имхо, подкрепленое практикой.

fully agree with that!
Thank you so much!
Max

APPLAUSE!!!!

and the same for "mirror guys"

Beware everybody!!

Some jealous bastards are denouncing the free mirrors (rapidshare, megaupload...), i have seen many of my files been deleted and i have to re-upload them. This has 2 obvious consequences, one is the deleting of links just to persecute the uploader, the other is using the excuse of deleted FREE MIRRORS to say people are cheating!! So beware with the "witch hunt" and "communist persecution"!

it happened to me! yes beware !!!!

thank you. merci.

CerealRipper

Don't worry, just stay honest-minded and you will never be in the list ;-)
But your great posts will be at the top :)

Thanks a lot for tranquilizing me -=Pasha13=-, i really appreciate!

Well, i download from Uploadbox without problem. The same with Uploading or deposit file. Yes Uploading has a stupid emergent window but it's not a real problem. deposit fles is worst because there is a lot of time between downloads. But i can not see the real problem. Yes i like that all the files are in RS, because i have a premium, but.........................

Thank you,

Great decision.

I'd like to know how they are determining the links, especially FF, are fake. I have a number of links on that host and I know mine are not fake.

A GOOD EFFORT TO POLICE THE JERKS THAT MUST BE EVERYWHERE TODAY. UPLOADING.COM WORKS WELL, AND IS VERY FAST FOR A FREE DNLOADING SERVICE. I PREFER IT OVER RAPIDSHARE.

Thanks a million Avax.

@those who claim not to have any problem with uploading.com or uploadbox.com

Some poeple might be able to download from those sites but many of us receive the message that the download slots for our country has been finished for the day and we have to wait until tomorrow and this TOMORROW never comes. The site tries to force you to buy a premium account.

@Avax

I would like to recommand another free file hosting site which claims to be the most generous one on the net. It seems that no one is aware of that or if they know it I don't know why nobody uses it!!!

iFile.it (previously miHD.net)

-Resumable downloads!
-Download accelerators are allowed.
-No daily / hourly download limitations.
-We do not block users by country or ip.
-Split archives are allowed! (and encouraged)
-No waiting for a download to start (no timers, countdowns etc)
-Our users dont have to install anything to download their files (no toolbars, spyware etc)

I'll go for Rapidshar and iFile.it. Rapidshare for it's reliability and speed and iFile.it for its generosity.

hurray for ifile.it and for mediafire!!!!

Where are the bloody copycats when we need them???

I want endless mirrors for my Hooverphonic albums:

http://avaxhome.ws/music/electronica/Hooverphonic_Magnificent_Tree.html
http://avaxhome.ws/music/electronica/Hooverphonic_No_Sweet.html
http://avaxhome.ws/music/electronica/Hooverphonic_Blue_Wonder.html
http://avaxhome.ws/music/electronica/Hooverphonic_Stereophonic.html
http://avaxhome.ws/music/electronica/Hooverphonic_Listen.html

Some RIAA pimp is fiercely attacking my links, i want to distribute these albums through the entire net!

”

make new archives with a slightly different size, and try sharebee.com, you'll get mirrors for 5 filehosts from each one upload. I believe it is rapidshare, depositfiles, megaupload, badongo, and zshare.

I want more different copies on the free mirrors. But i'll use these sites to spread around!

I think we should have a filter that allows us to find posts with Rapidshare (or whatever you subscribe to). I'm sick of opening posts to find that one of the alternatives above have been used and I need to try and get what I want by waiting 90 sec for each file when there could be dozens of files to a post. I dont see the harm in making it compulsory to provide a mirror for each of the preferred sites and that would include Rapidshare. I'll happily subscribe to whatever service is deemed compulsory here - I'm not a Rapidshare fanboy - it was just popular so I subscribed.

Is this allowed? Posting links through cash generating forwarding:

http://www.avaxhome.ws/magazines/Photon458Avril2009.html

crusader, you made important remark. In your example under word "RapidShare" is hidden "linkbee.com". In this case link goes to Rapidshare (after short begging). In another case with another poster link can point to a phishing or compromised site.

If link provided with tinyurl.com, you can check destination by inserting "preview" in address: for example, instead of
http://tinyurl.com/d5lu39
you can use
http://preview.tinyurl.com/d5lu39
and read destination address before to go there

With services like "lix.in" there is little possibility to check destination as discussed in that post:
http://avaxhome.ws/misc/rapidshare_phishing_how_to_protect_identify.html

Okay Depositfiles is now blocked by OpenDNS.

gtk, try to insert SSL in the URL to fix the problem eg, http://SSL.depositfiles.com/en/files/3029253

Another tip, log into your OpenDNS account, and go the Settings tab. On the Content Filtering page check blocked domains. (If you are on a network, your admin may block this site with OpenDNS filtering).

This one: http://www.avaxhome.ws/software/software_type/development/Web_Related/Blumentals_Rapid_PHP_CSS_HTMLPad_WeBuilder_2008_9_5_1_105_Retail.html

Has used a downlosad pass in the Megaupload link without include it in the post, so you can't use megaupload.

By the way, Mediafire would be a great addition to free hosts.

@ crusader & v4v

to get the real links from such ugly re-directors you can also use something like my ShareLinkDevil who shows you the real link and even checks it for availability.

Unfortunately, I can't post here the link to this useful Online-ShareLink-Checker/Extractor because it seems, that "The Team" sees it as forbidden advertizing - yesterday they deleted all my comments on AH without any warning :-(

Please use Google (simply search for "ShareLinkDevil" - the name is unique) or ask me by PM.

it's getting crazy with all these fly by nite companys! on some sites I go to everything I want is. easy this and upload that
1 site upload something free has a 48k limit!!! mediafire I get like 569kb for free and I prem RS & MU. this is a great site. sometimes you have to drop the hammer!!!!!!!

Thank you

LOL
Easy to say they have to odder free linx etc...
These brigands hide their links, it's written Rapidshare and when you click you are re-directed to a site asking you to wait for Rapidshare.

Why so many lies, why fighting when cheaters will never cease. You are wasting your time. They change their names and start again.

Thanks. Great Decision

Very good avax, rapidshare and megauplaod both are indeed good mirrors and most people can access it from all countries.. without worrying about the stupid day limit for that region.. cheers!!!!!!

in my country we say: domestic EASTER's CLEANING...
no more dirty dust at A.home...thanks
(PS any chance to have a "report to moderator" button?)

NOPUB, DIABOLO, and JEPEE who have created me problems for the last weeks coming back all the time on my case because i m using linkbee!
insulting me of nazi!(by the way have a look on my publication, on the music i like and you will see if i have nazi tastes)
DIABOLO who wrote to me in private message "......the real trouble for you would be if somebody would report ALL your links to RS & Co."
NOPUB sending me messages with written ".....Last Warning!"
and now thats realy wierd cause all my links on rapidshare have been remove by rapidshare .
ALL OF THEM, more than 70 pages on avax (5000 links!!!!!)!
i tried to ignore them but now what can say......i am speechless!
for sure they gonna tell you that s not them. but thats the fact they were menacing me and they did what they had written in private massage!

what Avax is becoming?
a place where people get pleasure in annoying other?
a place where is became comun to insult other and disrespect other?
a place where a minimum of respect does not exist anymore?

NEVER USE DIABOLO SYSTEM, HE S HELPING rAPIDHARE AND REPORT ALL ILLEGAL CONTENTS EVERYTIME YOU ARE USING HIS SYSTEM FOR A LINK FEW HOURS LATER THIS ONE IS DELETED!

if comments are allowed (which allowing ppl to make mirrors and to insult and disrespect publishers) each publisher sould have the right to moderate comments on his own publications

Phising attempt by user: werziksen

and maybe elsewhere...

keep it up.....
their should be some discipline around here....!!!

Great rule Admn
please introduce one more..!
let the mirrors free.....
no more "NO MIRROS" crap....!
AH forever.............

@caberof
if you want to make mirrors why not making the publication first ?
caberof once again a guy who has never published anything and doesnt understand that we have to respect tonnes of rules to published (like we cannot make duplicate when we are publishing, etc....)a guy who s coming on avax just to spread his frustration.

Gazup.com . You upload to that site, and they upload it automatically to 9 other websites, listed below.

it makes it easier for the uploader, faster as they only need to upload once, less bandwidth is wasted, and it has lots of different sites which will make everyone happy.

Upload file to gazup.com.
They upload the file to these websites
|
|
|
V
# RapidShare.com 200mb
# MegaUpload.com 400mb
# NetLoad.in 400mb
# FileFactory.com 300mb
# MegaShares.com 400mb
# Badongo.com 400mb
# Load.to 300mb
# 2Shared.com 400mb
# UploadBox.com 400mb

The number next to the website is the maximum filesize for 1 file.

I think this should become a standard, as it will ensure that the file will always be available. Even if one or two or even 8 sites take it down, there will be one left. Some sites are always say "Download slots for your country are used up", this will ensure this doesnt happen. You can download multiple parts at one time, e.g part 1 from rapidshare, part 2 at megaupload, etc.

I really think this should be the standard, because i HATE when i want rare unpopular things, but the download link is dead or removed or the countries download limits have been used up.

You can also upload files remotely, from other http sites or even directly from rapidshare.com. And you can upload directly from FTP.

Do you guys agree? Disagree?

In conclusion.

1. 1 upload to gazup.com gives download links for 9 different filesites.
2. you can upload to gazup.com from rapidshare, http or ftp.
3. even if rapidshare removes the link, you have 8 other sites.
4. you can make money frm gazup links.
5. it includes all the best sites like rapidshare, megaupload, etc as well as weird ones like load.to which i have never heard of.


Also, im not an uploader nor do i work with gazup, but i want to make it easier for the uploaders, so they post more stuff. Im a scener and there is alot of stuff here that isnt pred by the scene. Also if avax allows it, i think uploaders should be able to use those linkforwarding site things where they make money. WHY? because if there is an incentive to make money, more people will upload, and more stuff for us.

please tell me what you think im right and wrong about.

Just adding another thank you to the list. Avaxhome does a pretty good job of ruling....

B R A V O !!!

Reste encore les crétins qui collent des virus ou des troyens... mais on ne peut pas tout avoir :-)))

Merci Avax.

User - Numizmatik
Рапида - битые ссылки

Поздравляю !!!! Вот так и надо!!! Сурово и сердито по жадных уродов!!!!!!

Finally ! Thanks guys...

about gazup.com :
What if you have premium rapidshare account? Do they need login info? if yes: its risky.
if no: upload would last only for 10 days.

Now THAT'S great news !

@ cascais

"... insulting me of nazi!"

Let me first correct the most impudent words of your silly comment:

I NEVER used such or similar words, I only blamed you (without any hurting words) for beeing extremly greedy by using this stupid money-making re-director "linkbee".

As I'm not willing to go down to the very low intellectual level some people on AH (and elsewhere) surely have, I'll resist to make your offending PMs to me public. In case that the administration asks me for those things, I will give Bully full access to my AH-account so that he can see (without any way of manipulation by me) what you (and I) wrote in several PMs. For sure, you never would do such a step because of all the bad things you wrote to me and others.

My words about reporting ALL links were only meant hypthetic to give an expressive example for real trouble to a little weeping boy who claims about the "trouble" he has with some harmless comments under his postings.
btw.: I only claimed about your stupid money-making via "linkbee" and therewith in case of reporting your links, I hadn't done it with RS - I'd done it with "linkbee".

After all the nice things from you, I'm not really sad about your personal lost it's only a pity for the users but I'm sure that you will do a quick re-up because your postings (so far I saw) now only contain a crap-hoster and therewith don't aply to the rules.

i do no talk with f*****g informers!
you wrote to me in private message "......the real trouble for you would be if somebody would report ALL your links to RS & Co.". and 3 days after more than 5000 links are blocked and only the one on Avax! thats wierd! odd coincidence insnt it? and your system is made to check all the links and to make from them a listing......odd coincidence as well!!

NEVER USE DIABOLO SYSTEM, HE S HELPING rAPIDHARE AND REPORT ALL ILLEGAL CONTENTS EVERYTIME YOU ARE USING HIS SYSTEM FOR A LINK FEW HOURS LATER THIS ONE IS DELETED!

@ cascais

“

”

Be very careful with your statements - offending others (in public or by PM) isn't allowed @ AH (see the FAQ) and can lead to finally banning incl. deleting all publications.

Will you really take the risk to loose your "Gold-Donkey" ?

btw.: My "ShareLinkDevil" doesn't contain anything bad and nobody is forced to use it !
The name will not say that it does devlish things but that it's devlish good :-)


EDIT

You really should finish your comments BEFORE sending them :-(

Only one word to your "enhancement":

"ShareLinkDevil" has no functionality to collect ALL links of a user because that wouldn't make any sense - only the links of one posting can be grabbed. You simply don't know about what you're talking but somehow I must even excuse your words because you can't check it as you are banned in SLD due to offending comments in the guestbook.

good boy!!!!!

Please help me! I can't find the password of movie Lisbon Story. Can help me? =S

Fantastic!
A policy enacted for the people that love this site.
Thank You!

SOMEONE CAN HELP ME; PLEASE!!!
I can't find the password of movie LISBON STORY...
HELP ME! ='(

Good atitude. Thanks for this great site !

I'm nervous!
What is the password of movies!? I used avaxhome.ws or avaxhome.info, but anyone works!!!

Great move. I only upload to Rapidshare anyway. And I never care about mirrors. Mirror my links. I DON'T CARE!
This site is about sharing. And that is what I am doing.!!!

@ cascais

Thinking once more about that what happend to you results in a very interesting variation:

Is it possible, that you did the reporting yourself to have a reason to make some dust and negative propaganda against my "ShareLinkDevil" ?

Assumming (only assuming) that it's reality:

Of course you didn't simply delete the files on your account because then the users see "deleted by Uploader" but YOU have it very easy (easier than anybody else) to build a reporting-list.

The downloads from RS don't bring you money, only points which you obviously don't really need because you are frequently giving away accounts (I guess generated from those points).

After your deleting/reporting there are still remaining two money-making things:
"Uploading.com" and of course the ugly "Linkbee"

In this constellation you even can earn three times:

1. The user clicks on "RapidShare" but sees that RS is dead -> money from "LinkBee"
2. The user clicks on "Uploading" -> money from "LinkBee"
3. The user downloads from "Uploading.com" -> money from "Uploading.com"


May be that I'm totally wrong but would be possible and profitable for you :-)

I think is a good decision, i have a RS account and i get mad when i find something i want but they don't offer RS option..!! congratulations..!!

diabolo
you ve got a vivid imagination!
why are you trying to justify yourself in accusing me if you are innocent? whats your points? thats not you thats all i you said so.But.....
3/4 of my links on avax are without linkbee and only on rapidshare, what advantages from them now....tell me clever boy?
i do not care about your useless system and i do think that for everybody thats the same!
when it exists a plug for firefoxe which does exactly the same :
Redirect Remover 2.5.5 for Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-BR/firefox/addon/537

@cascais

You lost 5000 rapidshare posts in 3 days??

I am actually starting to think rapidshare is acting on its own. Many of my links are getting deleted from rapidshare in an astonishing frequency, i'll start encrypting all my links with Jdownloader, and see if they stop disappearing, then we can check and see if we have dirty people visiting Avax and reporting links. i have some suspects, but I won't say anything. Anyway, i don't want to meddle in this discussion but i truly don't believe diabolo is reporting anything, actually he is helping me circumvent rapidshare constant blocks. he is quite resourceful, he may have an opinion about getting money with piracy, but he is not on the other side of the game.

But i have my suspicious about the people doing it... did you people noticed that a WHOLE collection of books/encyclopedias were blocked from rapidshare a few hours after being posted here?? You should check for places where you can still find it available... can give you a hint.

My 2 cents, after so many responses.

1) The significant response to this decision gives it great credibility and support.

2) I am glad there is a decision to strengthen the download integrity.

3) It's good to require strong hosts, and still not disallow others. Posters have the option to use any file host, as long as they also use one of the required ones!

Overall, excellent!

@CerealRipper
honnestly i would think exactly the same if:
-same files with the same name hosted on a different account are not deleted yet, and are still alive!
-only the files i have published on avax have been blocked
-and all started after i had received odd messages from diabolo and co such as " last warning!, ...the real trouble for you would be if somebody would report ALL your links to RS & Co, or enjoy because soon it ll be finished." why telling that to someone if you dont have a plan?
diabolo also try to spread my IP to many ppl, but i am lucky on that because guy is not really smart. and he only found a travel agency at 700 km from the place i am living. but let s give him some credit it was in the same country!
regarding the web sites you re talking about they used to leechs my links without the linkbee redirection and i went there today and all the post lechhed are with my own links and are dead.so there is no advantages for them

@ cascais

"why are you trying to justify yourself by in accusing me if you are innocent? "

The same I could ask you :-)


"3/4 of my links on avax are without linkbee ..."

Sorry, as I know you not long enough, I haven't the knowledge about your older postings so that my words are based on your kind of posting in the last two weeks.


As everybody can see on the mozilla-page you linked to, the FF-Addon has only a limited functionality, the last actualisation was done more than 10 months ago and further developement is stopped. Specially in this kind of tool frequently updating is absolutely neccessary because of changings and new services appearing every month.

Congratulations - a really useful hint for the users by you :-)

btw.: Have you ever heart about IE, Opera and all the other browsers beside FireFox ?

”

diabolo, the more you come to justfy yourself and the more i m convinced that you re the cause of all of that you should stop as i asked you so many time before.

@cascais

As i told you i am having some trouble with my links being deleted a lot more often than before and i am only uploading to rapidshare and megaupload. I had a similar situation where my rapidshare links were deleted and the depositfiles ones were not. Which is weird...

I didn't know about any treats, you guys might be having a fight or something. But still my links are being deleted and as i said diabolo is trying to help. About the sites, i am not talking about the sites that grab stuff from here, grab all the links and post there. i am talking about the ones who have their own mirrors, some times before it was posted here, sometimes after it was.

@diabolo

Please stop this thing with cascais, i really don't get why you're so annoyed with him? We should protect the shares not chase the pirates in any way.

I truly suggest everybody should use Jdownloader to protect their links, even though it is a bit more bureaucratic for premium users. But Jdownload allows you to use your many premium accounts (even more thanone per service at the same time) and allows free users to download the links without any annoyances like ads.

@CR

"... he may have an opinion about getting money with piracy"

For sure I have: It's greedy and not neccessary to earn double with the posted stuff !

I offered "cascais" to stop my comments with the help for the users to bypass his stupid "linkbee" when he agrees to not use this "s**t" anymore and of course also stops his partially more than offending comments and PMs to me.

i am speechless!

perhaps you are infected by the Conficker-Virus :-)

Here the link to a quick-test:

http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/infection_test/cfeyechart.html

what does it mean again?

Thanks a lot.. that was a great decision! Keep it up Avax!!!!

cascais wrote: "-same files with the same name hosted on a different account are not deleted yet, and are still alive!

False. RS deletes files based on the hash MD5. That's, if you compress a file, then duplicate the file resultant with different name (or not, is irrelevant), and upload both files to RS (each to differents accounts), if/when RS delete one file, both files are deleted: both have the same MD5.


Thanks, Avax, for that rule.

Thanks a lot for setting the rules, love this site.

@Vongola

and what's happens if Linkbee & all kind of redirect site die ?

so i think a Direct Link from A file sharing site is the only best way of longevity. ^^

muchas gracias

@ "The Team"

If your bill for pixhost seems to be too high than have a look here:

http://www.ebookee.com.cn/Les-Druides-quot-Le-Myst-re-des-Oghams-quot-_262097.html

This site copies tons of ebooks from AH and even is using the original picture-links !

btw.: when I remember right last year it was told us that it's not possible to abuse pixhost and therewith stealing traffic :-)

to AvaxHome @ "The Team"

is it possible that could you open WISH section that include avax user's wishes about eBook eMusic eVideo etc. that they looking for ?

for example I am looking for Avionics Navigation Systems (Hardcover) book original news link : http://www.amazon.com/Avionics-Navigation-Systems-Myron-Kayton/dp/0471547956/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238961341&sr=8-15

thanks Avax

"(he had used anonymous RS uploading, so after 10 times files were deleted) "

This disturbs me. It implies you only now allow uploads by premium account holders. Not everyone can afford a premium account. At least they try to share, but this heavy handedness will stop some people even bothering to share a damn thing.

@ diablolo: That site isn't the only one to copy the image links. Nearly everybody who copies posts from here also copies the image links. I raised this another time, but was chided for daring to give a link to a site that required logging in. I gave up trying to help, after that.

@ franklee

"It implies you only now allow uploads by premium account holders."

There is something between "Free" & "Premium" called "Collector's Account" which allows uploads without beeing a paying customer. The links on these accounts are alive for 90 days after the last DL.

Bravo Avax!!!! Thanks.

Not everybody is aware of that, though, are they? It's still not right. I'd rather they concentrated more on getting rid of infected files, than deleting posts that people might post with no malice intended. It is obvious, that those using the anonymous uploads are not point chasers. Mind you, having said that, those same people could be posting malware, so I might be barking up the wrong tree.

Anyway, it's pointless going on about it. Their mind is made up and nothing will change that.

I'd like to see all multi-hosters, link protectors, etc, outlawed, but I know that won't happen, since there are too many lovers of that crap here.

I'm still contemplating whether or not to make another donation. I won't use their "vip" address and, for that matter, I don't think they need it, since the adverts pull in a lot of money from those clueless enough not to block them.

I don't even download from here any more. This is the only page I've been reading for more than a week.

Good idea. I like others favour a mediashare link as well.

another rule-breaking user: bengilbert

"A Companion to Arthurian Literature" (posted by bengilbert)
http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/others/sdfgasrhgdshbfdstgasfdasgfreg.html

clicked on the RS mirror and got the following message:

Error

This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.

This limit is reached.

To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information.

The interesting thing is that this guy is a relatively new user (only two pages and very recent postings). Other RS mirrors from him also dont work:

The cascais only answers with insults and antisemitism nasty words.
But was it better to condemn the insulted one?

Во всех последних публикациях с рапидой

I see many people are uploading ebooks of plain text files converting them into PDF. They attach nice cover picture in the news. Its such a disappointment when you download them. What happened to AvaxHome's quality? If nothing else, AvaxHome should make it mandatory to mention whether it is scanned PDF or text-converted PDF.

To gtk29:

Most don't give a flying fig about quality these days. All they want is points and more points, or a method to steal other people's information.

Get rid of all posts using any sort of link protector/masking service and multi-host sites and I might consider contributing again. I admit, I used such services in the past, but that was before I wised up. With any luck, any posts of mine, with such links, would now be dead.

Of course, I may as well talk to a brick wall as mention this, because most people don't care about that issue, either.

That's my rant for this week.

Did anybody else noticed that rapidshare is now giving 4 or 5 GBs of download limit per day and that it can be accumulated to over 20GBs (i actually don't know the end limit but i am over 20GBs now)? Quite nice...

cifra77's posts have links for megaupload & uploading but they actually all link to depositfiles

Please delete!

Well,
It' sad to say, but AVAXHOME has become much less userfriendly the it used to be some time ago....
Despite to the appeal and reqirements of poviding free links, authors (some of them) are cheating etc...
I propose that RAPIDSHARE must be mandatory for all publishers, so it will be very easy to tell cheaters from others

Having just Googled a few items on this site, I see that they have been lifted from other sites - and in every case, the RS Links have been deleted / left out by the Avax poster. ( eg the Promt Translation Software.)

From now on ALL posts without working RS Links will be reported to the hosts used, and to the publisher of the software shared.

Enough B.S with your Uploading.com which even the posters say has a bug. Filefactory that 'has no free slots.' Depositfiles that just reloads the timer, etc.

If you are going to blatantly rip other people's shares off and pretend they are yours - then provide the RS Links ... or your stolen share will be reported.

“

next : we will give every downloaders a rapidshare premium account each, then we, as uploaders will give money for downloaders who download our files. Give us a break! you guys pay for premium rapidshare but what we got ?! only 2 euro for a weeks! and some mirrors in our comment post!

”

Ok a big question (might cause hassles) But I dont care...

what about guys that post VIRUSES in the so called program
or trojans that are unleashed on a person and takes days to remove

I see that happening i'll report both the link on here and where it was hosted on rapidshare, megaupload etc etc

so this may fall on deaf ears but I hate assholes that do that as well

have a nice day

Popolamus is posting false links, eg 'Mahayana Buddhism:' last 2 mirrors don't work - the rapidshare one has 'died'.

Another problem is ebook posters padding their downloads with at best other ebooks, at worst, in the case of rexT for example, with Springsteen MP3 tracks and JPGs.
This often results in a 6MB downlosd for a 1MB ebook

Edit:- I've just checked an other of Popolamus' posts, 'The Postcolonial Biblical Reader', and the Rapidshare link has died, 10 downloads, there too.

Edit:- and another '365 Days of Healing' - dead, unallocated, rapidshare mirror.

is it able to post the uploads made in gigasize.com ??

thanks!

Looks like the discussion of the original subject has died down - or moved on to other subjects...

When I saw the rule about free filehosting I had no problems with it. I have never posted anything to a service that isn't free. But I didn't think that uploaders were limited to the three names mentioned. It says:
Publications without FREE download links WILL BE REFUSED!!!
I have no experience with uploading to FileFactory but whenever I am forced to download from them, I know that I'm in for a lot of frustration and a long wait, so I won't piss off my downloaders by posting there. As far as Rapidshare is concerned, I have found recently that quite a lot of my links get blocked after a short while. To be precise, a lot of the links that I post on Avax, because when I post an RS link only on another forum, it stays up. Again, zapped links cause a lot of frustration to users and a lot of work for me, having to re-up killed files instead of posting new stuff.
I have recently started to use Hotfile.com and found that it is just as reliable as RS or MU. When I download from there, I see no ads and I don't have to wait or enter a captcha code - but that may vary from country to country. For uploading, Hotfile has a disadvantage because there isn't any batch upload function like RS and MU offer. But I've found that my links don't get blocked as often as on RS. (The few times it happened, I had posted both RS and Hotfile links for the same files. The RS links got zapped, and a little later the HF files went as well.

So, I've tried to use a scheme like this: Use RS for posting to other forums, Use HF for posting on Avax, and use MU as backup, sort of an extension of my HD. This worked for a few posts, but yesterday I had a new post rejected by Pasha13 because I didn't use a "correct" mirror.
WTF?
Hotfile is free, and it works - something that cannot be said about File Factory. I'm trying to make my users' life easier by offering links that stay alive, but some inflexible moderator can block my post because it doesn't contain a "correct" mirror!!!
Makes me feel like stopping altogether - at least on Avax.
In short: I think that Hotfile deserves to be on the list of accepted free hosts. If you feel that you don't want to have more than three accepted hosts then kick out File Factory - it didn't deserve to be there in the first place.

Let's see if I get some support for this request.
