megaupload deserves a chance here again?

You have it banned, the reason I recall is people were posting other people's megauploads in order to get YSI links.

Here is my suggestion. Since YSI is unreliable and only has 25 views and 7 days, why not limit people who can get YSI links to those that post YSI links?

Yeah Mega is a slow download, but the links stay alive for 30 days from the last download. Allowing movies to be posted on it again cuts all the PMing of links, and banning of the noobs that request YSI links. True, someone can split a movie and post on rapid share, but the hourly limits make it just as slow as mega.

I upload to mega for other boards. It loads just as quickly as YSI and is more reliable. YSI craps out 1 out of 4 times on me when I upload. Mega, just once so far. And we all know downloading from YSI can be a bitch if the server is messed up, and files do get removed or die quickly from it as we have seen.

Seems allowing megaupload again is worth further examination. Just adding my 2 cents.

 

well, thanks for the reply. I already have a bunch of movies upped to mega. I tried splitting one movie I did up to mega and posted it here, but it is just extra work for me to redo them all.

 

MU was useless to me, I would click a link and get a 23 KB/S DL speed with an estimated time remaning of like 23 hours, and say fuck it and blow it off.

I can do the exact same thing now, then bring up Free Download Manager, start it in there, and get 100 to 120 KB/S DL speed and get a large vid in under half hour. That DL manager makes the difference, I don't know why or how, or need to know.

I hope anyone blasting MU has tried the FDM, but seriously doubt it, and since its a "free" DL manager, I don't understand why people don't try it. I get lots of good vids and post lots of good vids, other places, with MU.

Maybe a compromise, a trial area, seperate from the vid vault, or within but marked as not counting as significant contributions, and suggesting that DL manager in the first post or sticky post in that area. Where the mods and admins of this forum could see what the members of this forum think with the feedback.

And again, I challenge anyone blasting MU to do so after trying MU with the FDM, a 250 meg per file allowance is a freakin plus, more than 25 DL's is a plus, and hosted longer than 7 days is a plus.

A trial area, or one thread in the vid vault, where MU is allowed, would give the management of this forum the option of making a decision to ban, ar not ban, a specific file storage host site, based on complete information and with feedback from all members of the group they are imposing the ban upon.

A megaupload vid vault area, or thread, would live or die on its own without the need of mods or admins trying to decide or having to do anything. Just sit back and watch.


Just my opinion.

 

Lisa, you gave me an idea. Why not create a seperate forum for YSI? Vbulletin allows you to set up user groups, and you only let contributors in. Let people know to sign up and list their contributions (you decide how many contributions gets one in, and that they have to keep it up, or out) in a sticky, and the forum would run pretty smoothly. Some work up front, but a lot less down the line. Then, mega can live in the Video Vault. No one can earn their way into YSI forum by posting with Mega.

Just trying to help, thanks for considering

 

Yes, I agree that with the Free Download Manager Megaupload become one of the faster places I have downloaded vids from.

As I have a slow connection I need to use Free Download Manager and since Rapidshare and other places don't allow download managers without premium accounts I have to use Megaupload to get vids as well as a few other places which is why I like Megaupload.

As for YSI, considering how many people lurk YSI is practically useless as by the time you get to it the link is useless as 25 lurkers have used it up and don't re-up it.

 

No, haven't checked sharebigfile, have you?

There are no problems, and have been no problems on this thread that I have seen, merely suggestions, and discussions, and one mod nicely discussing his views.

No one is blasting this forum.

I came here because I liked it, and I stay because I like it, and I think I would like it more if other options were opened.

YSI sucks, a 2 or 3 hour wait for a dead link. RS discontinued happy hours, no problem for those of us who can defeat the DL counter but for the average DL'er it sucks. Splitting and uploading a vid on 3 or 4 different file hosts is lots of fun.

I share vids for fun, not work.

I am trying now to upload a large file on KMF. I have been trying every file storage site I can find and discussing my results with those interested and appreciate any suggestions or alternatives thrown into the discussion. No one is knocking this forum, just making suggestions on how to keep things fun, as in "phun."

 

FWIW: I recently wasted a couple of hours uploading two files (100Mb & 75Mb) that were incomplete even though the confirmation emails stated successful loads.

 

MegaUpload and a download manager(flashget) gets anywhere from 60-120KBYte/s for me.

Now I find that perfectly acceptable...then again I live in Europe and wouldnt feel the strain as much as Americans during their peak time which would be my bedtime..;-)

Please give megaupload another chance as its far better than the others when you have to wait 1hour between small 30-50MN downloads!!!

 

You guys had your chance until the new people posted the same mu vid from other forums every day. So no and that goes for sexuploader.

 

Lisa/Tommy: : okay, i will check sharebigfile, if you don´t mind - lets see what happens

Tommy: thx for making things clear - no need to argue anymore bout megaupload

don´t want to "attack" anyone in person, was just thinking, and sometimes thinking leads to something which might be too.....aggressive? if so, sorry!

 

Creating another forum for phun is not an option.

 

okay, sharebigfile ready for downloading... http://phun.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49246


edit:

test is over... seems to be too interesting to click on "block this file" on ysi or "delete" on sharebigfile...

 

I've also tried megaupload with Free Download Manager, and it makes a hell of a difference. The reason, I think, is megaupload throttles the speed per connection to their server. When you use FDM, and it creates a whole lot of sections, each of those sections is seen as one connection by megaupload and each section gets a decent speed. Eg. downloading through a browser you get say 10K ps, with FDM, it would split the download into say 8 sections and download them simultaneously. 10K X 8 = 80K ps.

YSI sucks because of the limitations, and rapidshare sucks for people behind proxies. My service provider uses a transparent proxy, and I can't download a fucking thing from rapidshare. Qfile works every now and again through the proxy, not often though.

I'd love to see more megaupload used here.

 

Don't complain about what hosts people use when all you do is leech, you have no room for suggestions. It's not about what you want it's what real members want.

 

There's no need to get hostile, I wasn't complaining about what hosts people use, I was stating my opinion that YSI and rapidshare suck (for me). I'm sure most people love rapidshare, I don't. I'm not trying to convince anyone to stop using it, I was simply giving my reason for thinking megaupload isn't that bad a host.

I can't be the only person on the internet, whose service provider uses a transparent proxy. Which means there are probably other people who have similar issues with rapidshare. I was merely drawing attention to some of the drawbacks of certain sites, not bitching and whining in an attempt to get anyone to change their choice of host.

I've never complained about anyone using a particular host, if I see it's a rapidshare link, I simply don't bother, for the simple reason that I CAN'T contribute (not that I choose not to), and have no place bitching when someone has taken the time to share something. I live in a country which has some of the most expensive telecommunications in the world. I pay the equivalent of $150 US. for 3gig of data transfer a month at 512 kilobits on DSL. If I could share vast quantities, I would, but it's just not a possibility. For the same reason, I actually don't leech all that much, I simply don't have the bandwidth to allow me to do so. I probably download very small quantities compared to most people on this site with broadband.

And as for your comment about me not having the right to make suggestions, that's about all I am able to contribute (see above reason). If you're not willing to consider a suggestion from someone just because they can't contribute anything else, you need help. I may not have vast amounts of bandwidth to spare but I have some working grey matter between my ears.

The point is moot anyway, The Free Download Manager trick doesn't work anymore anyway. The most concurrent sections I could get last night was 2, yielding a dismal download speed of 10K.

You don't like what I had to say, ban me. But hopefully you're not some "l33t-I art-GOD, feel the power of my mod-abuse" type, who can actually take a bit of constructive criticism.

edit: I also always find it interesting that "real members" always fall into the following categories. They either joined a long time ago, and have been around forever giving them a huge post count OR they have access to vast amounts of bandwidth and lots of time to upload lots of porn.

I suppose the rest of us are just the dregs of the internet that you grudgingly tolerate. Nice commnunity you're promoting here.

I don't know why I bothered typing all that, it probably won't last long, lest someone agree with me and your e-penis takes a shrinkage.

 

Did I say anything about uploading a vid or anything. Can't even create a pic post or something in the general forum? Now bitch all you want but I am not the one who looks like a ungrateful leech.

 

Who said anything about me being ungrateful?

 

SHOW ME 1 POST AS OF TODAY WHERE YOU HAVE PROVIDED A POSITIVE FEEDBACK OR THANK YOU ON A MEMBERS VIDEO POST?

 

Maybe you don't read well, I said before, I don't download all that much, why would I say thank you? Take a look at my posts, and you'll see a decent chunk of them are praise or thanks for pic posts. But you obviously didn't bother. (by the way, one of them was for a vid, even though I specifically stated I didn't want the link, not being a contributing member and all)

 

I checked but if you replied here and knew we had megaupload vids than you could have said thanks to all those you leeched. But you can make all the excuses.
