Biggest noobs I know that used Whatevershare now use torrents. |
nope they lost most of the customers to other filesharing platforms like uploaded.
they implemented a new upload/bonus system back then and blocked mostly all of the "free" users by slowing down the free download speed to 10kb/s or whatever.
no free users = less downloads = less bonus for uploaders = uploaders move to other filehosters.
also torrents became popular after rs died?
as a beginner back in the day i used edonkey/emule, then torrent, (some months usenet), xdcc and since 2009 och.
how is using a system like torrents where everyone can see your ip and stuff in any way smart?
even if u use private trackers... and then u even have to upload shit to others so u can be on of the "chosen" ones on the trackers. fuck this shit.
/edit
oh forgot! the correct order: edonkey/emule, torrent, (some months usenet), xdcc, filehosters

Names/companies change and they get replaced, but there are still great free file hosting sites around for buccaneers even if it sounds kinda anachronistic. It requires some patience (and luck) but sites like MEGA or zippyshare for example are pretty darn good.
Truth to be told, me still likey the public torrents as well  (mostly because my speeds are so low that there isn't much difference between those and the private ones anyway *cries in a corner*)
