FF was shit. Just move everything to Rapidshare. It's used for 95% of the warez stuff on the net so it cant close soon. Too important for the illegal users of our world lol.
Actually, that's precisely why it's likely Rapidshare could close! If your site hosts an insane amount of illegal material, you're going to get found out soon enough.
Rapidshare provide high speed (usually) download and really quick upload. There is NO way to get a Premium account other than buying one. People tried all the possibles ways, you HAVE to buy a premium account to be able to download more than one file at a time and have a quicker connection / limitless download rate.
You'd be surprised of how many people who dont want to pay 15£ for a game are paying £54 a year just to download as many games and apps as they want.
Rapidshare has a strong userbase and a lot of people are buying Premium accounts, even more since FF closed. It's here for a long time still.
Plus most illegal files are either split into a lot of partitions (That you can download all at the same time if you got a Premium account) and use passwords.
Warez is bulletproof.
PS: This isnt a pro-warez post, just felt like explaining MP3 Astra how things work nowadays.
So selling stolen DVDs in real life can get you closed down, even if you're making a profit. Rapidshare may be making money, but that doesn't mean they're above the law.
That was not too good idea to start this thread in the Movies section.
I don't really think there were lots of LFS vids. He just typed "hosting website for videos" to make it look like it's not offtopic, but actually it's not related with LFS videos that much. At least I think so. It only covers posts about LFS videos. Someone could move it to the Offtopic section.
You should take note that there were a number of videos with their downloadable versions that were hosted on FileFront. It's related by being another host for downloadable videos that disappears (+ it had the stream option on most vids posted there).
