People have been going wild on the main page that why uploader X isn't uploading on their favorite host Y. It's about time we make things clear.

Ever since Megaupload has been taken down and the staff were arrested, all the other filehosts have been more cautious. They're massively deleting files and accounts, shutting down various features like hot linking, affiliate programs etc. They're even going as far as to banning the entire country from access their sites (namely, US). Here are a few examples: Fileserve has started deleting accounts, and Uploaded.to has blocked US ips from accessing the site.

That clears the confusion about why certain hosts aren't being uploaded. Now comes the question that would an uploader upload to certain hosts? The thing is, I personally would love to upload to Medafire as people are suggesting, but they don't allow free users to upload more than 200MB, the file space isn't much so the files won't last longer... and most of all, they don't support FTP uploads (which, in my case is the only way to upload from Linux).

Also a heads up: There's a scam site claiming to be a replacement/real Megaupload. Do NOT go on that site. It's fake for starters. And from what I can see, it is running a background malware of some kind which is similar to LOIC, a DDOS tool used to attack sites. To dumb it down, you will be used to attack sites like FBI etc using that malware (if it really is LOIC). Even if it isn't, that site's fake, you have nothing to do there.

Hope this will clear out all the confusions.

EDIT: And down goes Filesonic as well. They have started deleting files and I can't upload from FTP nor any other option. R.I.P.

EDIT 2: Now Filesonic's completely dead. They are only allowing original uploaders to download their own files. They have discontinued their services.

EDIT 3: Uploading.com is deleting all the affiliate accounts as well. Another one bites the dust. Here's a recap of what's happening right now:

- MegaUpload - Closed.
- FileServe - Closed. Does not sell premium.
- FileJungle - Deleting files. Locked in the U.S..
- UploadStation - Deleting accounts. Locked in US.
- FileSonic - the news is arbitrary (under FBI investigation).
- Uploading.com - Deleting accounts.
- VideoBB - Closed! would disappear soon.
- Uploaded - Banned U.S. and the FBI went after the owners who are gone.
- FilePost - Deleting all material (so will leave executables, pdfs, txts)
- Videoz - closed and locked in the countries affiliated with the USA.
- 4shared - Deleting files with copyright and waits in line at the FBI.
- MediaFire - Called to testify in the next 90 days and it will open doors pro FBI
-Org torrent - could vanish with everything within 30 days "he is under criminal investigation"
- Network Share mIRC - awaiting the decision of the case to continue or terminate Torrente everything.
- Koshiki - operating 100% Japan will not join the SOUP / PIPA
- Shienko Box - 100% working china / korea will not join the SOUP / PIPA
- ShareX BR - group UOL / BOL / iG say they will join the SOUP / PIPA

Well, I guess we're all fucked then.

Would it be possible to split up an episode into two <200MB RARs and upload those to Mediafire? It does seem like a huge pain in the ass though. But it's a suggestion anyway.

EDIT: Hiryuu used a site called BayFiles which seems pretty decent. Good download speeds, no captcha, no waiting time. Maybe you can give it a shot?

Yeah, but given commanderA's current mood, I doubt he'd be happy to.

silly people ask silly questions when its already been answered

Well, it is annoying to upload multiple files to multiple hosts, it looks worse on the website( less clean ) not to mention it takes more time.

[Volture]

How about zomgupload?

Now I'm really confused. Does that mean I can get the extra order of hash browns with the scrambled eggs and pancakes plater or not.

All kidding aside, our understanding and patient will be tested until the FBI is done throwing their tantrum. They were counting on adding SOPA to their tool box and are now pissed. They are going to take it out on anyone they can. With this in mind it's easy to understand why file hosting sites are doing the CTOA shuffle.

They will undoutedly continue until the message of "We don't need SOPA to get you" is heard by everyone. Lets all be happy with it's "Better Late Then Never".

Somedays I understand why the rest of the world has contempt for the US. I think I'll move to Japan without any plan just cause I love anime.

Well I gues hard times for us all have come, SOPA & PIPA in the US, and ACTA i EU. Mass deleting files and baning torrents.
I was downloading some YYY via mIRC, maybe it would be worth a shot ?

What about those sites like Multiupload where you upload to them once and they distribute to the others for you? I know FTP is not included, but it seems easier than uploading something six times yourself. They generally give you a link back to them to share, but it's not hard to get the direct links for the individual hosts after that. And I know there is at least one that distributes to MediaFire.
