Which one should I go for?
I'm currently using rapidshare, but it's become more expensive than hotfile and it seems to be getting harder and harder to find good links.
On the other hand I heard that hotfile doesn't let you use the full bandwidth at times...
:huh:

There are other sites you can use to upload large files for free0

Ask whoever is uploading to use other sites then (if possible)0

Take a look at http://jdownloader.org/
For many sites you won't need a premium account at all unless you are in a hurry. It will not handle Hotfile captchas but can cope with some others.
Hotfile maxes out at not much more than 3MB/s on premium.0 -

By good links do you mean links to copyrighted music, films and software?0 -
Rapidshare is most common one I see. Megaupload is better imo, but for some reason it isn't as popular on the sites I use.0

It amazes me how many thieving barstewards there are on this board. Maybe I should compile a list of user names and forward it onto FAST and BSA...0

There has to come a point where the digital thieves that use Rapidshare find themselves facing the '''music''' chuckle chuckle - digital economy act anyone? :-)
... Mind you, without the illegal music and software down-loaders, stealing banking details from compromised computers may be wayyyyy more difficult :-)0 -
Hammyman's lovely reply aside..;)
I use all 3....(Rapid, Hotfile and Fileserve)...not much to choose. Of late fileserve is good.
OR many will use newsgroups...giganews etc for very fast and reliable dodgy and non dodgy downloads:beer:Mortgage 58K/11yrs::: Total Debt: [STRIKE]£1480[/STRIKE] 1250 :::

Hotfile are being sued at the moment & are mass deleting accounts that they suspect may have illigal content hosted on them.
