A question regarding my new current file hosts + talk about various subjects
(16 votes, average: 4.13 out of 5)
Loading...‘Sup all. As you know, the megaupload shutdown has led to a huge wave of panic among file hosts, most of them shutting down or closing their affiliate program, and new ones close either their website or their affiliate program day after day (even if they’re now less numerous to close down per day, sigh).
Technically, I don’t need the bonus beer money offered by paying zip hosts (the rest of the ads allow to more or less cover my server cost), but it’s still a more than welcome bonus, I’m not denying it, so rather than switching to mediafire or rapidshare, I’m trying to find new paying zip hosts. Just so you know 
I know lots of old links are gone because of that, please don’t panic, but please also understand me, there would be no point in fixing them when we don’t know if their new file hosts are going to last very long, amirite ? :o Patience, dears.
I feel really bad about all these hosts closing down, I hope it will quiet down. Since there is demand, I think there will always be offer, despite the wave of panic there is right now. I believe it’s a matter of bearing and grinning for a while, until some sort of balance is found 
Shit, I’m even thinking of searching for a “my own file hosting script” thingy. A sort of private rapidshare only allowing one uploader, the admin, encouraging to go premium so that server cost is covered, but serving the files nonetheless – if a simple version of that exists, let me know, I’m interested in both the script, and your ideas about using a thing like that ! 
–
Sorry for the long rant.
In the short term, I’m using Letitbit.net and Turbobit.net, russian-based, less likely to bow to the US Governement and Feds.
But I’ve heard reports the Americans are banned from their servers (guys, an openvpn-based VPN starts at 5$ per month, is it really that expensive in exchange of the help it provides ? Or else there’s always hidemyass.com). But some Americans told me they don’t see any problem with them.
I need to know, so here’s a poll !
HEY AMERICANS ! About Letitbit and Turbobit, do they work for you, or do they falsely pretend in your face that the links are dead ? (2 replies allowed in total)

If you're curious about a list of the still working file hosts…
http://www.gallery-dump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f…
I know a few others that was not on that list that have an affiliated and allow adult content. You want?
Yes please.
amonshare.com, buckshare.com, Cramit.in, Crocshare.com, DepositFiles, Extabit.com, Free-uploading.com, GlumboUploads.com, Hellshare.com, hitfile.net, Hotfile.com, upload.megashare.com, megashares.com, netgull.com, Ovfile.com, putshare.com, Refile.net , ShareRUN.com, Shragle.com, UploadFiles.ca, UseUpload.com
that comment was in the moderation queue.
Whoah ! Long list. I'll have a look, thanks !
Tried posting the links comment got deleted guess I should remove dot com from them

By allow adult content, I mean there was nothing in their ToS prohibiting adult content.
For example GlumboUploads tos doesn't prohibits adult content but it does say this…..
"We reserve the right to decide appropriate content and can delete images or videos at any time without User notification."
Also there is a difference between megashare and megashares.
Slight correction and some comments:
AmonShare's affiliate program is only for getting people to register for premium under you. As that rarely happens it's useless.
Crocshare only gives free users 10gbs of storage. I have well over that with just the uploads I did, so I don't wanna guess how much Oliver himself needs.
Hellshare has a limit of 1 file PER DAY PER IP.
Hitfile and Turbobit are the same exact site, as such what doesn't work on Turbobit for Americans also will not work on Hitfile. What? You don't believe me that they're the same site? You can login on Hitfile with your Turbobit username and password
Rumor has it that Hotfile sold out the MPAA, so I wouldn't touch it with an over nine thousand foot pole.
GlumboUploads is interesting as it supports video streams, but you have to have 10k downloads/views to get $50. That's ridiculous, most sites give over half of that for only 1k.
I don't see anything about how earning money on Megashare other than the logo and I don't feel like registering.
Megashares only pays you for premium downloads, AND you have to get 25k downloads BEFORE they allow you to join the affiliate program.
Netgull is like Sharecash. Don't use it.
Ovfile also has ridiciulously high amounts for downloads ($20/10k)
Useupload looks like a scam. Can't even find any references to proof of payouts on Google.
Having Googled "uploadfiles.ca", I get back results of the owner attempting to sell it. I suspect it is not legit. Hey, you wanted to start one, right Oliver? Why not buy it? :V
Shragle looks like a scam according to the Intrablogzorz.
Sharerun is a scam, it's owned by the same guy who's owned 4 other scam sites.
Side note: Depositfiles no longer pays for US downloads now :/
Good searching, you're sparing me time
Various questions, Hurp…
– I would even be ready to pay for a "my own file host script", but my web searches didn't yield satisfactory results. If you've got better, heck, let me know
The requirements are simple :
. take mediafire or rapidshare. Remove the possibility for users' uploads, only allowing the admin to upload.
. No affiliates program.
. Allowing payment processors (credit card, paypal should also work since it wouldn't be on hentairules.net but on a random domain I take).
. Managing the simultaneous connexions and bandwidth usage between free users (AKA "please don't raep my server, kthx") and paying users (AKA "you allow the server to run, help yourself my friend"), with basic calls to become premium.
If you find a proper system, good !
– once again, about the earnings calculations with zip paying hosts : anyway, you know, even the file hosts promising big money end up paying little dime, the calculations are always tilted. Don't let it go to your head
A file doing 5000+ downloads with depositfiles can just earn one dollar.
– While depositfiles is mentioned, I didn't hear until today that they stopped paying for US downloads, is that recent ? Where did you see mention of this ? O_o
Yeah, it happened between the hours of my two my replies to this comment. It was there 5 hours ago, but 2 hours ago they literally removed the US from all of their Tariffs (and killed 3 other Tariffs as well). You can see it right here: http://depositfiles.com/bonus_program_tariffs.htm…
I recommend you contact them and ask to be changed to the "World" Tariff if you aren't already on it (I wasn't, I was on Russia-USA).
I'll see if I can find a file server script tho!
Edit: …Well, I Googled "file hosting script" and this came right up: http://www.oxishare.com/ The picture looks exactly like DF :V
In other news, Anonyupload is finally open. You should register early because the FTP accounts are limited to the first 20k.
Not sure if this true or not
http://technologymob.com/2012/01/anonymous-warns-…
That doesn't really matter, as the owners of Anonyupload never said they were affiliated with Anonymous in anyway whatsoever except that they share the same ideals about Internet anonymity.
In other news, FileServe and all of it's sister websites have reopened to public sharing. My accounts and subsequent files were all deleted, and the affiliate program is still discontinued from the looks of it.
"Dear user,
The Bonus Program is unavailable for the residents of the United states of America. Please pardon for the inconvenience."
Directly from DF's page. Now all of the sites I use are dead to me :<
The US are still listed in my "work only with depositfiles" tarif, I think, I'll have to check O_o
Yeah, I'm kind of interested as well in that topic. I'm still looking for alternative mirrors for my releases (though with one more must-have function – remote uploads)… Any help?
Yeah, neither of them work for me. I can log in and upload files to both, but when I attempt to download I get a "file not found" error on Letitbit and the download for Turbobit just never starts when I click the "download" button (if I attempt to redownload it I get back an error telling me I have to wait 500 seconds to download again – so the request to them was sent, they just never sent me back the file).
I should've double-checked on Turbobit; it's doing the same thing for me, even though it looks like it loads fine, and was yesterday too.
Turbobit is doing the same thing for me as well, letitbit says file not found.
I’m French, and while both work, I do find them rather obnoxious.
obnoxious ? o_O
well to be honest the 2 new hosting are very annoing (shitty download speed and a lot of conflict with Jdownloader) also, for some weird reason since megaupload got close, i been having problems with depositfiles :S but at least works way better than the others 2
Same here. I use JDownloader too – all I can get are the small shares from Deposit Files – the large ones crap out and neither of the other two work at all.
Letbit works for me, but I'd sooner see a full jar of molasses run its course down my wall before a single download from Letbit got done. They are SO FUCKING SLOW.
Turbobit rejects jDownloader (that’s it’s downside). Letitbit works and is resumable. So is depositfiles.
letitbit downloads with a decent speed with jdownloader.
Just as long as you stick with Depositfiles I am happy, hopefully nothing happens to them.
i'm south american and both of them work to me, they may not be the fastest but they work at least
letitbit never works for me, and turbobit makes me wait 10 minutes right off the bat, and then usually fails afterward anyways
I suggest Oron too, Oron is really good.
Oron doesn't have an affiliate program anymore.
And their interface sucks monkey balls uploader-side ^^;;
I'm quite new to your site, so I'm not sure if this have been brought up before….With regards to all the old links being killed off, have you consider recompiling them into a batch torrent so people will be able to access the old files?
i agree to the all-in-one-big-torrent with all last/complete stuff
Somebody else set it up, I don't have that time and bandwidth.
How about using rapidshare?
Have you read the part about beer money ?
I am American and neither work. Another worry is Russian sites are known to be riddled with Malware.
What sucks is these sites are doing willingly to Americans what SOPA would have done. Shame the law being used against them is from 1999.
How about zip all the days shares into one file since these new providers are having issues. Hopefully one will work. We can delete what we don't want.
Oliver, why don't you just ban American ISPs. You already censor Japan, you should do it to Americans as well. It would keep heat off of your site. Cut them off, and save the rest of us before everyone loses. Don't let them take us all down.
If he bans America, how am I supposed to fix the the dead links and redirection pages!? D:
Yep, I need HurdDurp
Ho-ho, looks like other people need me too from the amount of pluses :3
Banning American ISPs would only harm the real people, most of whom don't even support SOPA shit or the feds and grieve the loss of megaupload and filesonic.
The feds, who are the problematic people, are proxy-literate, them, so a ban would be not only pointless but counter-productive.
It is nice to see that not everyone in the world hates every American. It can be hurtful in some places to tell people you are American
Well, you've got a problem, your country has the greatest global influence, your political system is closer to a banana republic than any other so-called democracy (your political funding system would be called blatant corruption anywhere else), and you're ruled by major dicks. It's not cool.
What can we say? Capitalism thrives on peoples' greed.
Just so you know Bakabt.com has a number of the files that were uploaded here it might be worth while to take a look.
Why not torrents or magnet links like pirate bay and others?.
Because torrents have a very short shelf-life. They'll be dead in a couple months at best.
Exactly.
Not necesary, as long as they are seeded.
Or the files can be hosted in one of many free cloud service, like http://www.minus.com 10 gb free, 2 gb max per file, No upload limit , and you can have 1gb extra from referal new accounts (max 50 gb).
I only fixed links for like 24 months, and that had well over 50GBs. I don't wanna imagine how much he would need if he had to do it FOR EVERY POST.
Letitbit doesn't work: File not found.
Turbobit didn't work, so I turned off some of my security features. It started the download, but stopped a 0%.
Good thing Depositfiles works… Most of the time.
I don't trust Letitbit or Turbobit as far as I can throw them.
One? They aren't a recognizable (or trustworthy) file downloading site.
Two? I don't need my PC hacked to fucking shit because of the Russian mafia.
Three? I don't have the money to spare to sign up and then download on two questionable sites.
I realize, Oliver, that most of the ORIGINAL hosting sites went the way of the dodo in a Klingon second (Filesonic and Filejungle for example) after Megaupload was seized by our evil Federal Government, but these new sites of yours gives me the heebie jeebies.
Please be aware that I am STILL a major fan of your site, but I worry about things like personal security and such. Our system is so old that you would have to dig for it. So precautions on my end are a MUST.
I hope that Depositfiles will still function because I don't mind downloading from that hosting site at all. Each time I do, you get free beer money. ^_^
(So count the number of years I've hogged your site (4) x the number of files I've downloaded (300+)=about $300 in Irish lager.)
Haha, thanks ^^
Various remarks, for you and anyone reading it
– depositfiles started the letitbit way, and look at the good rep they've got now
– sadly, you didn't earn me 300$
Between the promises written by paying zip hosts, and the reality, there is
. unique ips and downloads (download ten files today, it counts as one only)
. banned countries whose downloads aren't counted
. quota corrections (not enough premium conversions, x% reduction)
. countries with a reduction factor (bad country, x% reduction)
. so-called bot traffic (jdownloader ? Lie to shave more ?)
. and basic unexplained shaving
How much do you usually make? I just cashed out for the first time after… I dunno… 2 years and only got about $45 :V
Oceania here and Letitbit doesn’t work for me, neither from their page nor through Jdownloader. Turbobit is slow as hell, 12kb/s max. I would greatly appreciate Oron, at least for bigger files. Depositfiles is fine.
Both of the Russian filehosts run slow. I remember a 100 MB file taking an hour to download. The Russians, they have no good pipes cos President Poutine has them all!
i wonder why but i keep failing on writing chapta for turbobit, did i have to remove the adblock first?
Both turbobit and letitbit seem to work for me in Belgium, but are very slow (30KB/s at MAX).
Wow, it's slow, me I'm served at 120 and 300 kB/s with them.
Same to me. I live in french country. Try both many time and can not go faster than 58Kb/s >.< ( une connection digne de 1998 quoi ! ) Depositfiles still work fine for me
depositfiles not paying for the US downloads anymore but still working fine
and i forgot to say this:
Letitbit: File not found
Turbobit: Доступ с этого IP для данной ссылки невозможен. (Access from that IP for this link is impossible.)
I am not american and both work, but depositfiles is the best
If you mainly just download stuff, get zevera.com. Covers almost every websites.
i'm from indonesia. letitbit never work but turbobit work fine. depositefiles still the best.
and for speed, torbobit about 20 kbps and depositefiles 40-45 kbps at best.
keep going oliver, i really love your site, the best free hentai site i found so far.
Letitbit showing error for me as well. Used TurboBit on First Love which took about 10 minutes for the 13MB file. Could've probably used Depositfiles on all downloads despite the wait time and still get them at the same time as using TurboBit.
One other thing I would like to mention. When watching Obama's State of the Union Address he mentions that if a bill banning lobbyist(the people funding bills such as SOPA/PIPA) was put on his desk he's sign it. Now tell me what are the chances of a bill like that making it through both Senate and House where the very representatives there get lobbyist money?
Please use mediafire. Pwetty pwease..
Downloading there is freakin awesome, just one click, no bulshit.. plus you can resume downloads!!!
Turbobit 'works' – in quotes because it downloaded at 29Kb/s – I was able to DL a file 5x the size in less time on depositfiles. So, yes, as long as Depositfiles stays up and works, it's fine…
Yeah, I've tested some here and there too. netload.in is a steaming pile os sh*t. filefactory is ok for the moment at least. turbobit is sloooowww. extabit also is sloooowww. uploaded.to seems to work more or less. haven't tested mediafire yet. depositfiles is a-ok for the moment.
México here, both works, slow but works, but after read some of the post now im worried about security, y dont want MY secret recipe of tacos see the light to the world!!
TOO LATE, MWAHAHAHAHAAAAA COME AT ME, O TACOS !
I'll try various hosts over time, to see how they work for you all and if I like them too.
I'm not from US, letbit sometimes is kind of annoying, turbobit as far as tried doesn't work with Jdowloader…
i'm american or born here only turbobit works but the speed is just ridiculously slow for 20MB and up
USA here and Letitbit gives me the same file not found issue
i'm Canadian and the Site letitbit.net doesn't work, when i get the counte down it crash at 0.sec(tryed multiple time) and for turbobit.net my max speed is 12 KB/sec to 16KB/sec, and on Depositfiles i get 160KB/sec. so as long that depositfiles works i'm a happy man, and i've ben loyal to this site for 2 or more and still counting :P.
Filesonic why y u no?? (scream of soul).
What I wanna say? Why not use filepost, wupload or oron? They was not so bad as current…
Because that : http://www.gallery-dump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f…
Mother of God…
wupload, oron,
Neither have affiliate programs.
Not American, both work but slow and Turbobit is blocked in jDownloader.
ledbit doesnt work,and now turbo is given this messsage: CAUTION! From your IP range the limit of connections is reached
From US
Commies are even scared funny.
I don't know if this is an option, but I do pay for access to a anime FTP server. The speed is great and they have tons (TB) of anime (Ecchi also). That could be an option if everything else goes south. :-/
But still, DepositFiles, Filefactory, Uplodaed.to, Oron are still working fine from where I stand (Brazil).
Uploaded.to does not work in America, Oron has discontinued it's Affiliate program and Depositfiles no longer pays for US downloads (nor do they pay TO US uploaders – I was lucky enough to cash out before they removed it completely and so I got my money :3).
FileFactory still works in the US and currently still has an affiliate program however.
Hey Oliver, I've been following your blog for 4 years now and I absolutely love, so here's my suggestion. Why dont you use mirrorcreator? http://www.mirrorcreator.com/ It's a simple and great site. You register a FREE account, you upload your file up to 12mirrors, with uploading to up to 5 of your accounts (so you wont lose your depositfiles acct). Also, they got a great PRO service, which I'm sure within a month you'll be eligible for it (it's free!). read about it here: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/p/order
And for the record. I use it myself, and JDownloader decrypts mirrorcreator links with no problems whatsoever.
Cheers and keep up the great work!
I haven't read the other comments (where I'm sure there's gotta be at least some support for this), but I would wholeheartedly support a private tracker, even if you passed on some or all of the hosting costs to the users.
You provide an awesome aggregating service for translated ero-manga and I feel that passing some costs onto us isn't too draconian in any way–especially if you can also do commissions with the funds raised as well as just donating in general to scanlation groups to show your (and by extension, our) support for the work they do.
Also a private tracker would potentially allow us to set up a private torrent tracker as well–assuming that's not too much work–which would allow us for faster downloads of content, while keeping our server footprint low. I could see this as useful for delivery of HD content as well as faster downloads of author collections–basically large groups of files only.
I don't mean to cause trouble by saying this last thing, but I think we, the user of Hentairules, should at least be willing to pay _something_ for your services, Oliver, as well as the services of the scanlation groups. To the other users: PLEASE don't start a pointless five hundred-long reply thread to only this last statement.
The other day,I read this:
“TurboBit allows porn, but lolicon is considered child porn and they take legal measures against users uploading child porn.”
and the page “term of use” in Turbobit say:
“Please note: We will instantly block the accounts of those users who locate child pornography on our servers. We also will put all the information (IP-addresses, payment information, e-mail) about this trespassers to law-enforcement agencies by their request.”
I know that lolicon is very strange in this site, but I don’t know his criteria (what is a “children”) on hentai.
I don’t recommend turbobit,
http://turbobit.net/rules
Don't know if it's just me but, I just got this message from DF:
The site is temporarily unavailable for we are making some important upgrades to its parts.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We'll have it back online for you as soon as possible.
If the page is unavailable for long time please inform us about it here.
Please try again in 356 seconds.
:((((((
It's back again. Just getting paranoid – thought DF was the next to go!
i live in Spain Turbobit is not working for me the problem is not the 5 dolars or euros is wath method of payment yu ar gona use not all of us hav credit card or Bank ACC the best wey is to use PAY SAFE CARD or Telefon mobil
Well currently in Australia, seems all links work ok though the Russian ones are a little slow, but sure I can live with that
