EmbedUpload provides Rapidshare.

why there some episodes of anime doesnt have mediafire links???

Why don't you release Rapidshare Links ?

Fair enough, though it's unknown which hosts do that.
But yes, making files resistant to being taken down means less convenience. I'll definitely consider encryption if a lot of files here get taken down.
I would presume most people upload to their account to earn points/income from downloads, which may be a reason why the files you've seen have lasted longer. Files here are uploaded anonymously so they may not last quite as long, but are somewhat resistant to the whole account being taken down. Other possibility is that the files were downloaded more - there isn't a lot of traffic on this site, so I imagine there's plenty of files that rarely get downloaded.

Do you have Javascript disabled? I tried making the CAPTCHA as friendly as possible, but all of that obviously requires Javascript. I guess the without-Javascript solution could be a little better.

But I forgot to fill in the reply button to have this attached to our discussion midpage :-)

Hash use has been talked about a lot by the people who issue dmca deletions.  The most recent article I read about the subject is http://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-wha...on-120120/ though the discussion is about megupload's use of hashes.

I have been following the subject for several years, but as always I miss a major point or two when I synthesize my data into information for others, and you are right about the user account bans, but those usually/used to happen after repeat violations.  I'm not quite sure what the method is but ancedotes seem they've gotten a bit more trigger happy on the user bans. My statements about reports, filenames, and why people encrypt the headers of archives come from extensive experiments people do which I followed.  I don't see the expired links issue come up as much, so my statement on that is much weaker.

By the way it seems I always fail your captcha the first time through ill luck, but I've gotten into the habit of copy, hit the back button, then pasting.

Thanks for the info.
I'm not too sure if I explained it well, but just from what I've noticed (correct me if I'm wrong), links here often die due to expiry. I base this assumption on the fact that most dead links here are at least 30 days old, and the large majority of newer links are up. Also, a number of hosts specifically say that they delete files after a period of time, especially low for anonymous uploads.

But certainly, I take your point on evasive measures if necessary :)

I've been considering whether to try automatic redownloading files after a certain period, but am unsure where the trigger is exactly - does downloading the first 1KB of the file constitute a "download"? Also there's some concerns on the number of files needing to be refreshed continually growing, but I guess letting older files die is a possible solution.

As for automated removal, there's potentially many different means through which hosts could be detecting content to be deleted, including:
1. HTTP referer - the reason why some forums only post links in code boxes / use link anonymizer services
2. Uploader's IP
3. Uploader's account
4. Some other deep search / fingerprinting system

Unless the host specifies what they do, it's really just speculation though.
By the way, have you found an example which indicates that hosts are really using hash matches?
Another way of getting around hash matches could be to simply append a null byte at the end of the file. This does cause all CRCs on the filename to be off however.

By crc I meant hash such as md5.  Animetake's files are deleted quite often, so for example "[SubDESU] Phi-Brain 17(720x400 XviD MP3)[47088CCF].avi" gets reported.  Your links go down because the hash matches even if file name is different.  They are using Hashes and wipeing all links more since the Megaupload fiasco, before they sometimes just deleted only one link at a time.

As far as I know links are removed on the following criteria and the standard prevention for each case depending on what level you want:
1. Reported | Obfuscate the link with dlc, captchas, and or login required
2. File Name Match | Randomize filename, make an archive with random name but keep the file inside the same
2. Archive contains matched file | Encrypt headers in archive to scramble filenames using 7z(mhe option)  or rar(hp optoin) ect
3. CRC Match | Archive file and add a password
4. Link expired | Rarely happens with major hosts and popular websites as long as file is in use but you can automatically download a little of the file periodically.

The site isnt dead yet ,a more reliable server host might be needed though if it cant cope and the provider cant fix the issues.

Churning through stuff I guess >_>
Have disabled updates for now, and done some 'load chunking' to try to help it get through without totally dying.

Sucks, but at least the host has been quite helpful through this and they're actively trying to stop it occurring in the future (they're fine most of the time, but sometimes things stuff up). Downtime like this is rare, fortunately enough.

The server was down for a few days, so give it some time to try to process through the backlog.
