[META] Which file host is the next best option? (Not asking for this sub)

[META] Which file host is the next best option? (Not asking for this sub) | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Which file host is the next best option? (Not asking for this sub)

I discovered this sub about a month ago and soon after, http://pcgames-download.net/, the perfect place for video game needs. However, with the Megadownload nuke, I do not know which filehost to use next to download games as I have used nothing but MEGA since discovering this sub and when I discovered that site, used the same. The other filehosts the website uses are Turbobit, Uptobox, and 1Fichieri. Additionally, the website is asking in a poll which filehost to use next out of these.

I know this is a subreddit dedicated to MEGA but I thought there had to be people here who had experience with the other filehosts. I like MEGA because of the download speed. Additionally, using Megadownloader with Internet Download Manager, I can get past the bandwidth limit as well as limit speeds and download files one after the other, multiple at a time, or all at the same time. What is the closest thing to MEGA in terms of bandwidth limits and download speeds? I would prefer a site with no limit and fast speed but if I had to choose, I would prefer no limits. Or maybe another filehost has a workaround like Megadownloader?

Edit: | Megalinks MegaDB Edit: I don't think people are understanding what I'm saying so I'll say it in a different way. I am not looking for filehost sites to upload to. I am asking out of the three filehosts I listed, Turbobit, Uptobox, and 1Fichieri, which is the next best to download from after MEGA. The website I linked and from where I download video games from use those three + MEGA to upload the games. Now that MEGA has been nuked, a lot of games have been removed from MEGA so only the other 3 filehosts are viable now. Which of those 3 is the next best?

uptobox is probably the most solid one.1fichier recently capped download speeds to 50kb/s.Usercloud is alright as well

[-] IgnoreMyName | 3 points | Dec 09 2016 04:50:18

50kb/s? Goddamn! I get 10-12mb/s download from MEGA.

They seem to have been denied the ability to process credit card payments so the only way for people to pay for their services is through bank transfer, bitcoin, or some other odd method. Since the general public doesn't or won't use those methods 1fichier is probably not making any money. So capping the free download speeds=reducing their bandwidth costs is the only way for them to prolong the slow death of the site unless something changes. That's just my guess after reading the statement they posted on their site.

Uptobox seems to be the best of the options. Usually they only allow one download at a time (which is inconvenient for large multi-part archived files), but they sporadically have "happy hours" where they let you download as much as you want simultaneously. Never had my download speeds capped with them. Sad to hear 1fichier has download speed caps now, it used to be reliable.

I've used OpenLoad occasionally when Uptobox isn't available and that one seemed fine as well.

In my experience, Rapidgator and especially UploadRocket links were more than often dead.

Never used any of the others before.

I'm on the exact same boat as you lol, that PC game site is amazing

[-] IgnoreMyName | 4 points | Dec 09 2016 04:11:15

I went back to the first page, 175, and was going through one page at a time looking for games that I may be interested in. It wasn't until much later that I went to the tab of game I opened and saw the poll on the side and remembered about the MEGA nuke and they they must've gotten hit too. Less popular games still have their MEGA uploads up but the ones I want to download don't.

[-] Bodyguard121 | 1 points | Dec 09 2016 17:02:32

Maybe its time to download some of the less popular games, eh?

[-] Aidache | 7 points | Dec 09 2016 06:37:07

Openload/usercloud for downloading | Megalinks MegaDB for downloading (ie. both get multiple connections per download for 2000+kb/s in IDM/jdownloader).

uptobox/upload.net for uploading | Megalinks MegaDB for uploading (ie link age retention)

[-] yazanabueid | 4 points | Dec 09 2016 05:24:27

We can use Yandex.disk or Cloudmail.ru

[-] yazanabueid | 3 points | Dec 09 2016 05:24:57

Stuff rarely gets banned at cloudmail.ru because it's a russian site however download speeds will most likely be slower than mega

[-] IgnoreMyName | 2 points | Dec 09 2016 06:38:05

I don't think you understood. The website only uploads to the 3 filehosts I listed and I was asking which of the 3 is the next best now that a lot of the MEGA files have been removed. I'm not asking for a filehost to upload content to.

[-] yazanabueid | 1 points | Dec 09 2016 08:04:28

OK, i get it now

[-] IgnoreMyName | 1 points | Dec 09 2016 11:21:51

It's alright, I edited the post to be more clear.

It seems like 99% of download sites pale in comparison to MEGA, whether it be through shitty ads or ridiculous limits. Out of the sites PCGD uses, none of them are good but Uptobox is the least bad. If MEGA ever properly dies I'm going back to torrenting though, it's the next fastest and least terrible. Also all of the other options in their poll suck as hard as the main ones unfortunately.

I don't know your opinion on ads but personally I won't visit any websites like PCGD and most of their linked sites on my computer, so honestly I'd accept Google Drive or Yandisk above any others (aside from MEGA) even though they don't download through a server the same way file streaming sites do. Not that I expect content hosts to start using those kind of sites in mass but if it ever does happen and ads are a deciding factor for what you want to use then I recommend those lmao, even if they are kinda slow depending on your internet speed. Some sites do actually use them anyway so

wow i said "sites" a lot in that i hate my vocabulary

[-] IgnoreMyName | 1 points | Dec 09 2016 04:59:45

Have Ublock Origin as well as Malwarebytes to get rid of ads so the site isn't really a problem for me. I do have to open it in incognito mode to get the password to get links but it's very quick and even then, don't see ads. Will give Uptobox a go.

[-] eightballthrowaway | 1 points | Dec 09 2016 05:16:36

I have three adblocks running at once, I know that PCGD doesn't give me ads with that but other sites do still manage to get around it so it's sort of a "just in case" thing. I just get links off my phone and put them somewhere I can easily access from my PC.

ah ok

[-] IgnoreMyName | 1 points | Dec 09 2016 06:43:05

It's alright, I edited my post to make that more clear.

Try Clicknupload. Has no speed limits that I know of. Number of downloads limit I'm not sure. Haven't downloaded multiple files.

[-] Victor1stofhisname | 2 points | Dec 09 2016 13:33:16

Clicknupload is one of the best file hosting sites I know. Openload.co is also quite good speed wise.

[-] 7altacc | 2 points | Dec 09 2016 17:57:36

Uploadrocket is pretty good

I know I might be off topic but have you given http://oceanofgames.com a look? The download speed with IDM is astounding and their links or servers are never down. Give it a look-see if you haven't yet.

Coming back to the Topic, Openload is also the next best thing in my opinion.
