Poll: If we were to allow Depositfiles as an approved host?.............

I've had the same experience from Netload for weeks. I try a download every now and then to see if anything has changed and it's been unusably slow for a while.

I'll see download speeds of 1-5 KB/s (less than dial up) and after a short while, the download will fail.

 

I agree with you, probably netload is overload now after crash of fs and others serwices. Before I used to dl with good speed but now its really poor.
On deposit is better dl speed.

 

deposit is better

 

netload can be another option

 

filefactory upload options are opened for free user too.

 

Only for small files up to 50 mb.
Bigger you get long downloads (hours).

Have you looked to Jumbofiles as alternative.


Greeting.

 

Pornographic Materials
JumboFiles.com does not permit the uploading of pornographic materials.

 

id love deposit files to be ok... would probably start posting again if it was... some filehosts are just a pain in the butt

 

As a free user, the d/l speeds varied greatly and recently, I found a ton of DF that caused me to purcahse a 60 day plan. Saves the 60 second wait and only able to d/l one file, but the d/l speeds still vary greatly.

So for me adding DF has a host, I really don't care one way or the other.

But, what about a Multi host such as Mirrorcreator.com (allows you to chose up to 8 hosts w/ 200 MB limits) or qooy.com (uploads to the hosts of their choice, with I think only 100 MB limits)?

 

Deposit File is very old, very known and stabile host, and just like any other host in the net (allowed at Phun or not) it is not perfect. I've been using it for a couple of years now, and here is my sincere opinion about it.

1. Now when Megaupload and Filesonic are fucked up, and when Rapidshare and Hotfile are not giving to uploaders any reward system any more, DF is right now the only stabile host out there that still gives certain rewards to uploaders, 10-25$ per 1000 downloads, and even more if you upload bigger files.

2. You can upload at DF without registration and the maximum file size for you is then 300 MB. However, if you register as a free user, your upload file size is then 2 GB. For free users, files are deleted automatically 30 days after the last download. For registered free users this period is 90 days. Of course, just like any other host, they also delete files when they receive complaints that your file is pornographic or copyrighted, but you can always upload it again :twisted:

3. As a free user or unregistered user, you can download from a unique IP 2GB per day. Of course, the speed will be seriously reduced, but from my experience so far, if you start downloading, and you see that you need 5 hours to download 100 MB, just cancel the download, and start again in 10-15 min, because speed is fluctuating. My recommendation for free users is to download from DF early in the morning, Central European Time, because they have the lowest DL/UL traffic then and allow higher speeds (they are from Germany). Free users can also download this 2 GB file if they want, or several smaller files, with waiting time between each of them (the waiting time also fluctuates). Users that have dynamic IP adresses have no limits here, provided that they change their IP after each download.

4. DepositFile is good and stable host, that I can say for sure after almost three years of using it. It has its downsides, but for a host that still has reward system for uploaders, it is at the moment the best on the net. I was a dedicated user of MU, but it doesn't exist any more :crying: I believe that uploaders on the net will massively switch from MU and HF to DF, so, I think our admins at Phun should seriously consider the possibility of making DF approved.


PS: Uploaders usually don't split their files at DF, except when they make mirrors to other links, so my recommendation is to approve DF not as a mirror, but as a standard host, so that uploaders don't need to split files, and free users can get those files much easily than to download 2 or more rars. I personally have to split my files larger than 200 MB, for the most stupid reason in the world. I recently moved and bought myself a shitty wireless surfstick, to have internet access until my DSL provider come. And every time my dog pees outside, I lose connection. So, in order to be able to upload anything, I have to split, hoping that one rar will be over before the next rain falls or so.


PS: Uploaders usually don't split their files at DF, except when they make mirrors. It is easier for the users who download to DL one bigger file than to DL three or four parts of it with waiting time. So, if Phun is to approve DF, then admins should seriously consider the problem of splitting files. If DF must have mirrors, than it would be a problem for downloaders, due to waiting time and limits etc. But if DF is to be approved normally, and no file smaller than 1GB may be splitted, than it would be much easier for downloaders.

PS2: Personally, I split files for some quite dumm reason. Recently I moved and bought myself a shitty wireless surfstick. And every time my dog makes a pee outside, I lose my connection. So I split, hoping that one of my rars will be successfully uploaded before the next rain falls or so. And guys, Deposit is not Russian, it is 100% German, making it reliable as RapidShare. I don't know how long it will last, but as somebody from Germany, I can tell you that we don't give a shit about what American government says. For the time being, at least

 

@Captain Kirk depositfiles is russian host! they have servers on cyprus island! they count one download from 1 ip for 24 hours!

 

If you allow DF, i'll back to posting at Phun again. Used RS and HF in the past and got banned/screwed. So when Filesonic died, i stopped posting here cuz u started uploading to DF and Extabit.
DF is good, at least for me. You can get points which you can exchange for premium or share them with friends. We, at some other board, have public thread where DF uploaders share premium keys with members.
DF is stable host, they work as they did before. I am sure they are flooded with new members, but they can accept them without big issues like other small hosts have.
Beside that, it is 10-20x faster for free members than RS, i am getting about 500kb/s. So if you download 3 big files, you can see where you can get them faster even if you wait 1 hour for next file.
Approved

Btw, about earning, at DF it is better to upload bigger files, so i don't think someone will split them to 50Mb - 100Mb pieces like Oron posters doing.
There is limit for premium members - 20GB per day, but comparing to Oron 20GB per 3 day it is 3x better.

 

EDITED, I fucked up

 

So is there REALLY earnings or a REWARDS program at Deposit Files???

Cuz this is what I get when I want to look at my STATS:

 

Not if you live in the US. They have disallowed cash rewards for anyone residing in the US. The only thing you can earn are the U-Points which you get for uploading files and those points can be exchanged for premium membership. This is the reason I would like DF added personally. It's a solid host that will not pay the majority of the users who post here which should keep the spamming down a bit.

 

OK, so you CAN still get Upoints for membership!!!! good, at least that, cuz Hotfile has already suspended mine so I won't be able to put back all the GOOD STUFF I had till we use somebody else.

 

depositfiles is the best host after rapidshare

 

Rapidshare does not reward anymore right?

 

yeah

 

As a loyal Phunner, I am indifferent to whatever host you guys decide to use. I appreciate the uploads and will subscribe to whichever file host you decide to use. If using Depositfiles benefits the uploaders, then I'm all for it. I actually don't know what speeds we'll get here as I've never downloaded anything from that host. But, speaking from past experiences, I've usually gotten:

Megaupload 2-3mb per second
Filesonic 2-3mb per second
Rapidshare 1-2mb per second

So all of the hosts have relatively treated me well.
