The violence threats were unnecessary. If I thought you were actually serious and an adult in driving distance Id take you up on that offer and be happy to exchange addresses. I'm sure you are just a typical online hero no matter what your age protected anonymously online that needlessly takes shit to far because there are no consequences for such stupidity. I grew up around violence and didn't stop getting in fights until I got out of my 20`s. I personally greatly enjoy violence but I dont threaten people in person or online. MMa is the greatest. I'm going to drink a some beer and chill the hell out.
1. Paid Services: I use only free services because I want to stay very anonymous and am cheap. I recognize the various advantages of paid services but don't use any, ever (for now). If you like using free services the best advice is to stay current with releases.
Like AT, I take what the ddl-services freely give, hoping they won't die for a while yet.
2. Simultaneous Downloads: I seldom get good results by setting simultaneous downloads to the software's max and leaving it up to the ddl-service to enforce their limits. In one recent example, I started at 10 simultaneous and increased one at a time to 17 where my cumulative speed was up to 8mb/sec. But at 18 my cumulative speed dropped to 300k/sec (!) and stayed there for 18, 19, and 20 files, the limit of my software. It went back to a cumulative 8mb/sec when I reduced it back to 17 files. On another day, I had to reduce it to 15 to get good speed.
3. I get 1-2mb/sec/file on Solidfiles these days. The simultaneous limits they and zippy impose changes now and then from 4-9 files for me. The changes may represent local load, or a business model, or something. Six files at a time on Solidfiles for 6mb-8mb is fine for me. One file at 1mb-2mb, not so delightful. For a single file I might use 1Fichier or even Sendspace.
My goal was to provide some info and suggestions for the average AT user. But I'm glad we have users working at the higher end of all this because we're going to need new options, maybe in the near future. Technology at the DDL-Service level might be not be our friend much longer...
It isn't because he didn't name any seedboxes. Kinda wish he did because I've been interested for a while now. Problem is nobody who talks about seedboxes ever tells you which ones are good and which to avoid.
What do you mean by "Single files are slow"? Parted download of a single file using X connections is possible for solid and - if needed to boost speed - also zippy (206 / partial content supported). There shouldn't be a need to test the maximum number of connections. The DL software will increase connections till the server rejects (up to the set maximum).
I don't mind the but's ... it does explain one's service downsides. And I tend to agree on that. What is not OK are the 3 options ... 1. option ... tough not rly recommended. (I mean just think about ANY test - put something in the first place and in the same time ... simply don't recommend it!!! WTFH? How ridiculous can one get? Second - it seems the recommendation is based solely on non free service (while paid access to usenet seems somewhat ok? Why? How? ...) . While I can accept one place for being a free service at first place ... this review doesn't seem to differe between free and paid subscriptions, so it's basically useless itself (it actually does seem to recommend 3rd place which is def. a paid service, while it dooes seem to avoid even free dll except for time being).
To add a little bit more info to the zippyshare issue
Did any other UK users notice an unusual page redirect message? It was quite unlike any usual adshit stuff, if I remember right it started about 10 days before, and ongoing right up to the 403 error. It was a message box saying the page was redirecting, and did you want the browser to send the saved form data to the redirected page. No idea what it was about, "Form Data"?
I's possible that if its a UK based hack, Zippyshare 403 could be them trying to fix that issue
I'm not one to be a prick with commenting but this is nothing but this is nothing but pathetic whining because the paid file hosters wont cater to you for free.
Here is one person's experience. Your mileage will vary and things change frequently. I download 10 files or more per day. I think my base wireless speed is 12mb/sec. Feel free to add you own comments.
Sendspace: Fast,but 300mb per time limit (every 3 hours, maybe) --not for me, 300mb is half a file. ------------------------------------- OpenLoad: captcha that my software can't auto-crack. --not for me, multiple captchas per day is tiresome -------------------------- Solidfiles: First choice for older files. About 6 simultaneous downloads allowed for a total speed of about 6mb/sec. Single files are slow (1-2mb/sec) Unlimited queue. --------------------------- Zippyshare: 6mb/sec to 10mb/sec, regardless of number of simultaneous downloads (4 - 6 simultaneous files generally allowed) Unlimited queue.
Lately, it's been quirky but still gets the job done for me, but sometimes slow... ------------------------------ 1Fichier: 1 file per 3 hours --not for me. ---------------- Spotlight: Jheberg/Free
The individual downloads speeds are slow, but you can have 17+ simultaneous downloads and achieve an overall speed in the range of Solidfiles/Zippyshare. A good option for end of season batches. (Note: For me 17 was good speed, 18 was bad.)
Free has some older files, so next choice after Solidfiles when looking for stuff almost certainly dead.
------------------------------------ Jheberg has some new offerings: FilesCDN has someone's out there's positive comment. The others I know nothing about. -------------------------------------------------
Note: Before you give up on a source, always try different numbers of simultaneous downloads. Starting small is better than starting big.
---------------------------------------------------- It's been shown before in AT comments that different users in different parts of the world get different service experiences. Some services that give me terrible speeds and limits give other users great experiences. What makes Zippyshare and Solidfiles exceptional is they give good service to most users.
You have at least 3 options to improve your download service:
1. Premium account at a ddl-service. -Not really recommended. 2. Usenet access. It's like the biggest premium account, but depends on up-loaders for content. Free access to Usenet is too limited to be of much use. 3. Seedbox rental with Internet connection. Download the torrents you want to your seedbox and from your seedbox to your laptop. Shop for a value deal.
Main options for each file seem to be: Sendspace, ZippyShare, OpenLoad, along with the aggregator sites; Go4Up, Jheberg& MultiUp
Solidfiles can be found in the aggregators, but I seem to remember it being a main option along with Zippyshare, sendspace and OpenLoad, untill not so long ago?
Solid is a decent host from the Downloaders perspective, allowing limitless multiple downloading, its a good alternative to Zippyshare in that regard
I'm seeing MultiUp links as recently as 1 hour ago. The drop-down menus require a little more time, but once you see the Multiup name you can click on that and see which links are ready.
Zippy has not yet given any reason for the block, you're guess is as good as mine. A configuration mistake is unlikely given the length of time of the block, and there are no court orders for ISPs to block Zippy. It is likely an intensional block, the reason is unknown. Could be due to legal notices/threats, in response to Brexit challenges, as a procedure to save bandwidth, an attempt to prevent a DDoS attack, or maybe just for a laugh.
It seems like the provider was returning many 441 errors to post requests. I think I've managed to find a workaround, so hopefully this allows the backlog of uploads to eventually be processed. Thanks for raising the issue.
Lord Lord Cockmud the seventh profusely corrected the pseudo-plods over in Lower Western Colony (pending) because Zippy is how he gets his weekly German donkey treats. However whomever he generously instructed was some nub with nothing but local admin access, a Star Trek chair, and a one-button Apple mouse in whomever's lower lower intestines thus it now depends on which poxy NSA proxy the request is redirected through for filtration. Apparently. Rumored. Or so they say so maybe not. Not even the steamed Lord Lord Cockmud the seventh could do more.
*nods sagely and taps side of nose but not simultaneously, never simultaneously*
I am not Lord Lord Cockmud the seventh, I am Anonymous and I leave donkeys alone.
He just did check the certificate tough. Redirecting to same server, but diff. page is possible tough. It might be there are routing problems (as he did test with HMA), thus they redirect temporary. Though that sure would have been some time by now.
"The 403 Forbidden Error happens when the web page (or other resource) that you’re trying to open in your web browser is a resource that you’re not allowed to access. It’s called a 403 error because that’s the HTTP status code that the web server uses to describe that kind of error. You usually get this error for one of two reasons. The first is that the owners of the web server have properly set up access permissions, and that you’re really not allowed access to the resource. The second reason is that the owners of the web server have improperly set up permissions and you’re getting denied access when you really shouldn’t be."
The point here is 'HTTP 403' or '403 Forbidden' or 'Error 403' is issued mainly by the website (web server) but it also can be caused and reported by ISP i.e when an ISP blocks a URL.
According to Wikipedia, Zippyshare started to be blocked in UK by ISPs on March 8, 2019. The reason given is that it was done by *mistake* and it remains unresolved as of March 10.
Yeah I get the 403 as well, my ISP is EE and they don't even block piratebay, so i find it hard to believe they'd randomly block Zippyshare and nothing else, lol.
