A FLAC audio stream is typically 100-150MB per episode (as opposed to, say, a 128kbps AAC stream which would be around 20-25MB per episode; why anyone would use AC3 is beyond me), but if you subtract the difference, their files are still large.
I'm actually not sure how they make their files so big, at least for their 720p encodes (excessive filtering?) - their x264 settings seem decent.

Anyway, I don't particularly like criticising people who give away their time for free, so I apologise for even starting the topic.

I see, perhaps in the future then.

PS: Coalgirl's releases include FLAC which is usually more bloated than AAC or AC3, perhaps their encoding settings also factored in the size.

PPS: Torrenting their releases now. =]

All hosts are uploaded to anonymously - accounts are never used.
I'm a bit iffy over raising the batch limit at the moment as I feel that the server is pretty much near its processing limits anyway. Maybe some day.
(mutters about how Coalgirls' releases are usually oversized anyway)

Are the files uploaded on bayfiles under anonymous? There seemed to be no captcha and countdown when i tried to download them.

When i went to the site, it says 5GB for everyone. Is that true? Can anyone testify to that?

On another note, could you raise the file size limit to 2GB if the server permits? This is due to quite a handful of Coalgirls's releases (720p) are not being processed as they are over the limit.
[Whatever the script considers to be a 'batch', over 1.5GB in size]

Ah, I gotcha. Totally forgot you already uploaded to EmbedUpload, lol...

u dont upload it at uploadhere/uploadking anymore....i was hoping that u upload it at uploadhere/uploadking

Ooh, Bayfiles has a nice API - I like.
Might give it a try - thanks :)

I do wonder about their premium page, which mentions benefits such as no wait times - but their free service doesn't appear to have any either :/

One of the sub groups I follow started using http://bayfiles.com and for me it's like MU only better.
And reading a news post about the current filehost situation a user posted http://www.peeje.com/remote which has multi-file uploading.

Thanks. Looks promising.

I hope this was mentioned, but JUMBOFILES.com, is awesome, ftp uploads and more, and the download speed is the same as mediafire very fast, hope you check it :)

I won't be using MirrorCreator due to their restrictions, but I'm uploading to MediaFire separately as it is now, as they're the only host with a 200MB file limit.

@admin: I highly suggest using EmbedUpload and/or MirrorCreator, they are the only multiuploading sites I know of that have MediaFire as an option.

Thanks for all the file host suggestions! I'll be looking through them when I get free time.
I'm going to prefer multi-host uploaders as they'll consume less server bandwidth. Do note that once I pick one or more hosts, I'll have to code up an upload script, then let it go through a testing period, all of which may take some time.

Thanks for the heads up Jay.
We'll keep the links there just in the rare case they restore their services. Uploads to them disabled.

Can i ask which sites you used bayfiles on ,because i haven't heard of that site before and would like to try there speeds .

It hasn't even been a month yet. Surely *something* new will show up and save us, right?

I wanna inquire if it's possible to add Bayfiles to the script? it's really the best out there now. no capthca, no wait time, no size limit, great speed.
Thanks in advance.

Probably not a good year for ddl.

Not a good week for DDLs.

Seconded! Maybe http://ifile.it can be tried as well?

They(Filehosts) are all scared. A lot of fansubs groups are stopping ddls.

May I suggest some other hosts?

Fileserve also dead. Can be removed from script too. This isn't looking good.

Filesonic just disabled their services. you can only download your own files now. Might aswell remove them from the script.
