Upload host choices

[liverwurst]

I really hate going through all these threads with really good porn, only to find out that the videos are hosted on some server with crazy rules and slow speeds like hotfile, or rapidshare, or any of the others. I would gladly purchase a premium account, but I am only able to spend the amount required for that on one host. I think the forum needs to come to some kind of consensus on which host to use, and, not make it manditory, but recommended. Personally, megaupload.com seems like the best choice. 1Gb file max size, less than 45second wait, and many simultainious downloads. What do you guys think? (mind my spelling, I am a math person)

If we were to recomend one file host it would most likely be RapidShare, as it's the most widely used, but the reason we don't stick to just one is that we have members here from all over the world and not one file host is available in every country, some cannot download from Megaupload, others Rapid Share and still others cannot use SendSpace.

Personally, I love Sharebee.com.
It's a free file distribution service. All you have to do is to upload the file you want to share at Sharebee and it will be automatically uploaded to 5 file hosters (RapidShare, Megaupload, DepositFiles, Badongo and zSHARE).
I think it's great because I just have to upload the file once and every single downloader can choose the hoster he likes out of 5 alternatives...

I've got both rapidshare & hotfile accounts.

That is what I was thinking.
I do think that we should recommend a specific few to use. There are many hosts out there, and most of us cannot afford to use them all. It should be a written recomendation of like.the top few that work best.

OK here's a scenario.

Someone comes here with a paid Hotfile account and finds everyone uses Rapidshare.

They don't feel they can post, they can't download as easily, so they move on and feel excluded.

There are so many people, and so many hosts, why place restrictions? If you're not happy with a post there are plenty more that would suit. You don't need to download everything You'd have no dick left LOL

This subject keeps coming up and brmstn says it exactly! As long as it's not a malicious host we can't & won't restrict any of them.
