I've had mediafire files deleted, and I'm not gonna use it ever again. It was legal rule-abiding stuff too. Im serious! :XD: If I did a search for certain porn and "mediafire" half of the links will be dead. They don't even give a set expiry time, for old/unused file deletion last time I checked. They just generically state "old or unused files will be deleted first." So if a file is popular, but old, it'll be deleted. I think I'll pass.
Anyways, zupload, file2upload, senduit, gigeshare, uploadingit, turboupload, badongo, etc all have their faults, and theres always someone going to have problems connecting to any one of them. Some guys here say they hate rapidshare, or gigeshare and turboupload have mal-ware installing advertisments, or they can't download from uploadingit(turned out to be user error). I thought Uploadingit.com was a good substitute because of it's Direct Downloading covenience... but it's a new sharesite, so anyone like me, who took too much of an advantage of what it offered, had their files removed. Too much of a good thing. So i'm not going to upload to another unestablished sharesite, only to have my files disappear because they're constantly refining their profit/cost ratio. They ALL tell you they're better, more reliable and your files will stay, etc. Hardly ever true. New sharesites especially are unreliable-they constantly change their policy and servers.
Megaupload and Rapidshare are the two best out there. Most reliable file life, most user friendly, safest, least down time, and most established. It comes down to numbers and statistics. More people are going to have problems from the ones listed above than from Megaupload or Rapidshare. And since more people are going to be able to use Megaupload/Rapidshare, that's where I'll post. You can't please everybody all the time, let alone 1st post=complaint leechers... But you can please a greater number of people by using megaupload or rapidshare.
If someone wants to use their Rapidshare Premium account to remote download and rapid-link clone files from my files, PM me those links, and ill edit in those mirror links. Theres also ways to get around those megaupload messages... I read them, but since I didn't need them, I didn't remember them... Someone here should know how to get around it.
