That SOPA sh!t closed down highly popular websites like Megaupload, and also Fileserve, Filesonic etc. Is there any other alternative for that? Its a HUGE setback for me as I was a heavy downloader, and I am sure for plenty users, despite the fact they wanna prove themselves against piracy and stay legal.
Will appreciate feedback from you guys, excluding the two faces.

TIA.

RS down and I am totally done. Popular websites generally were using MU/RS as main host, then FS/FSC, but not Mediafire and else.
MU was the popular most host for uploaders undoubtedly.

Dude RS is German website and they have dealt this type of scenarios numerous times. They will be the last to go down.

There are alternatives called torrents and usenet. Try them out. :cool:

Torrents are good but I don't see any feedback on topics which keeps me away from it.

Bayfiles is even better than Mediafire , No wait times , largers files allowed,
but a hoster is only as good as its uploaders :(

@OP: ever thought about using usenet? The safest & oldest way among all these

Here's what i've been using for the past month.

Mediafire ( ofc )

Jumbofiles [ Downloaded 26 GB from there a few days back , 500 MB parts , excellent ]

iFileit [ Just a captcha , and get ~ 1GB links , Full Speed ]

BayFiles [ 300 Seconds wait time , good enough ]

Also ,

Code:
simply-debrid.com/free.php

5 Links per day [ WU UP UL HF TB ].

Look to Mediafire for the best possible file-sharing experience. Period.

It was and is the best, but too bad not many uploaders use it.

Period ? How can downloading 200 MB splits for a 11GB files be the best possible file-sharing experinece ?

There's a reason why MU went down , not Mediafire.
