Thoughts on Wupload?

That's true, speeds are excellent. The restrictions are reasonable as well, you have to wait 20 seconds before starting a download and five minutes between files. Hardly a ridiculous amount of time, specially when compared with e.g. Rapidshare. Captchas are their only downside.

Just do a comparison on Alexa, and you can see that Wupload is probably the fastest-growing file-hoster in existence. I'll assume that there's a good reason for that.

It's not bad, but I still prefer MU.

There's part of your reason

Hotfile also has a paid affiliate program (I think it was the first company to start that trend) but while Wupload has soared, Hotfile has declined on Alexa. Maybe due to their recent policy of kicking copyright offenders.

I've noticed that all of these file hosters seem to have a predictable rise and fall. I'm sure Wupload's time as a rising star will come to an end eventually.

They've dug their own grave with that as far as I'm concerned. The effect wasn't immediate, but nowadays 95% of HF links seem to be down, so I don't bother with them anymore.

I suppose that if you use passworded RARs with non-obvious filenames and link protectors you can still get away with uploading there, but either I'm wrong or most people don't find it worth the hassle.

Wupload is the worst piece of crap i have seen in my life. Not only is the premium service slower than everyone else's free service, it's not unusual to have to download a file several times before you are successful.

Lately, I've seen a lot of websites posting Wupload links. Generally, I prefer good ol fileserve, but they're handy if you already have a fileserve link downloading and the links are interchangeable.

WU is great! Now it's almost everywhere and as long as they provide good speed Im using it.
