Unbelievably slow speeds with Hotfile!!

Don't know how much use hotfile will be now it has 'gone to war' against file-sharers.

Hotfile's my favorite hoster, so I was a bit worried when I first read that article. In the event they do become stricter about piracy, uploaders will either have to protect their links, encrypt their files, etc., or just move to a good and more relaxed hoster, for example Fileserve.

It could also happen that they actually want to make it look like they're "bad" for a while, to get less attention from the copyright companies. A friend also suggested this could be a simple cleanup to avoid spending money on extra storage.

Ha this was also my first thought when reading that article. It is the most motivating factor, all other implications being collateral benefit.
