Zippyshare announced closing of it's site in 2 weeks

[AutumnWolf]

oh are those the ones you had to jump though liker 3 captcha to download anything? yeah they wont be missed.

What captcha? Zippy didn't use captcha services

It seems they are not aware that their site is banned in many countries. I can't connect with their server at all in Germany, France, and some other Western Europe countries via mobile network.

Nope. You needed 2 clicks. One for hidden popup and one for actual download.

Isn't 1fichier banned in a bunch of countries too?

Never had an issue with 1fichier. Though currently my favourite is download.gg because like zippyshare it doesn't have a cooldown

Yeah, I believe 1Fichier is one of the file hosting sites that never worked in the US. At least I remember my attempts to use it being terrible, either it straight up didn't work here, or downloaded so incredibly slow that it wasn't worth it, can't recall which off hand, but definitely one of those two scenarios. Sounds like it might have been a better file hosting site in other parts of the world though.

 

[AutumnWolf]

Currently PS4 warez are mainly uploaded to Zippyshare and 1Fichier, I am sure at least some backports are gonna be lost in the process, since sometimes those are only uploaded to Zippyshare.

Games usually go to both services, so nothing to really worry about.

offtopic seems 1f is taking legal heat as well for turning a blind eye for so long on top of archives current court case (started on the 20th) seems like companies are going all in now shame considering the likes of nintendo shutting down 3DS/WiiU eshops

 

[gnmmarechal]

Sad. One of my favourite ones.

RIP Zippyshare and I use it sometime during 3DS era.

Meh.

Google Drive did best. G-Drive still can't tell I have like, 10 different accounts.

Of course, Google Drive rocks and I got almost full speed.

 

[hehexd]

big rip

I guess geoblocking users can do that to your visitor numbers. ZS was the only filesharing site that I needed a VPN for.

You need them for most file sharing sites due to idiotic speed limits. VPNs often bypass them.

You mean, other than its horrendously slow, throttled speeds and once-an-hour downloads?

 

[masagrator]

once-an-hour downloads

Issue related to geolocking... Did I really need to point this out?

...geolocking means it literally cannot be accessed due to location. A region block.
Your sarcastic zinger fell flatter than your attempt to panhandle from your signature.

One goes away, a hundred come, who's next?

Have any really came since though? There's almost no real file sharing site anymore even for legitimate purposes. You're lucky if Mediafire retains a LEGAL file for longer than a week or if it even bothers to accept an upload. But at least Mediafire doesn't throttle speeds to such a ludicrous degree that you'd be better off recreating the file yourself.

Once Google Drive fixes the student account exploit, what's left?

well that sucks

They are certainly aware as its actually Zippyshare themselves who blocked the UK and various European countries for some reason: https://torrentfreak.com/zippyshare-is-blocked-for-uk-visitors-but-why-190315

Time to pull out the VPN.

 

[peter8]

no one care about that. there are tons of more and better filehosters. anyway zippy was banned the last 5 years in germany, I was not miss it. there lot of other ways where I dont even need vpn or other crap tools. lol
and for 1fichier, this hoster works together with the law of europe police.

Didn't hear about this in time; I'd better check to make sure the old ZippyShare links for hacks on the RBCP are backed up somewhere.

Well, you have to be quick before they close up completely.

Just checked; the only thing I had a ZippyShare link to was with Rudi Rastelli's DLC tools for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Fortunately, I have a backup on MEGA.
