Fileserve/Sonic

[scottperez]

fileserve is far more better than filesonic, to some extent fileserve can be tricked using different web browsers after one successful download , while filesonic records the user's ip-address and makes you wait for 10 mins, and also records the browser and its version, well that is awful

Are you sure? I'm not sure they'd make the mistake of relying on something (IP plus User-Agent string/cookies?) easily fooled like that.

I have Premium access so I don't remember if there were waiting times between files right now.

[whatcdfan]

yes, there are waiting times, and that old shit of getting a new ip with every new download is still favored.

[kejrud]

they are both crappy

Fileserve is the crappiest hoster lately. The downloads are interrupted before they are complete and after that you have to start it all over. Fortunately, I always had alternatives.

Hey, is anyone else having speed issues on Fileserve? I used to get full speed all the time, now it's no more than 30-40 kB/s. It took me a whole day to snatch a couple of movies. I used to run one file at the time to avoid overloading my connection, but now I have to add one or two more if I don't want to wait forever. And I have a Premium account, so it's not that.

I dont have any similar issues, and you probably know that i am a free user also.

It's been working fine for me lately. I have experienced those symptoms, though, with fileserve, as well as filesonic, and especially hotfile. Sometimes downloads would slow to a complete crawl. I use both fileserve and filesonic now, and I haven't experienced it with either of them for several months. I have a 30mbit connection (download), and I can usually max that out with one or two downloads.

Thank you both for the replies. I guess it has something to do with my location, then. That or my ISP began shaping file hosting services just like they did with P2P some years ago.

I'm not terribly annoyed by this, though - I have a lot of files I haven't dealt with yet. Maybe this is a sign for me to stop downloading and check what I already have

@anon+P2PDog - So, you guys pay for fileserve? how much is it? do you have a deal where you pay and get more sites, for just fileserve?

@Funkin' - Most def fileserve here, I will never bother with filesonic again (it's 50-60kbps - smeh")
