Hosting Issues

[KainsChylde]

Lately everyone's favorite file host, MediaFire, has been blocking Sexout downloads without notice to the uploader. Claiming pornographic content.

 

MediaFire has had its problems before anyway with not working sometimes, so many of us have mirror downloads for when MF doesn't work. Can anyone recommend a good one to use as an alternate? I personally use 4shared and its worked fairly well.

Ideally, I'd be looking for a service that

- doesn't make you jump through hoops to upload (register-free would be great)

- doesn't make the downloader jump through hoops (captcha or ticket countdown). This is what I liked about MF.

1. Those ones are normally premium only.

2. MediaFire, 4shared

as a downloader mediafire is great for me, could uploaders not sneak the stuff on there? like maybe re-name files to fluffy kittens instead of SEXout?

 

just my devious mind at work, dont know if that would even work tbh

They look inside the archives you know...qe

 

 

 

EDIT: Why not use a torrent site? I mean a reliable P2P site like TPB. Its a really good peer to peer with a extremely vast tracker network so once a few people host the file someone on the other side of the world will not really take that long to snag it. I'd help seed the files.

 

Best of all nobody from our community needs to buy any rip-off memberships. I mean options are kinda limited and this is exactly what a P2P network was designed for...

 

I understand bandwith is prob not in the budget to host file share from this main site.

What's wrong with attaching files to posts here?

[KainsChylde]

Theres an upload size limit. I think 20 mb.

Would Dropbox work? I haven't tried using it for this kind of stuff, but it has some kind of a public sharing option, doesn't it? It might be a good idea to create a new Dropbox account just for Sexout stuff, so you're not risking your main account.

[astymma]

Looks like I'm one of the few people who think 4shared sucks. Dropbox would be nice but getting the average user to use it correctly and without inundating us with support questions would be impossible. Mediafire was my absolute favorite site... bastards. Meh...shrug.

What about rapidshare? I see it used all the time at vintage erotica.

[Mashi]

Rapidshare is speed limited and a limited number of downloads per day now. I could recommend using axfc as long as you can muddle through the japanese.

No, they don't. They're blocking them based on the title only, not the actual content. The SexoutStore archive contains nothing that violates their TOS, yet they blocked it anyway.

[sanguisfrigidus]

actually i'm slightly curious about this..

 

why do uploaders always use the likes of 4shared or mediafire?

 

why not google drive,dropbox, skydrive or box.net, especially for files that are intended to be up for a long time?

 

why not crocko or filetrip, especially for files that are not intended to be around forever?

[KainsChylde]

I have Google and Hotmail accounts. I may try Google Drive and Skydrive for the next compilation update.

[zippy57]

Everybody already knew this, but at least they're now admitting it:

The reason your file was blocked was due to a word filter being triggered on our website. If you remove the word "Sex" from your file name' date=' this should restore the file back so users can download the file.[/quote']

Skydrive will ban anything pornographic, not sure about google.

So, in other words, they don't really care what's in the archive, as long as the name doesn't trigger the filter?

I'm assuming they won't actually check the contents of the file unless someone flags it. So... yes.

 

don't use sex/porn/child/rape/blowjob ect in any title on MF' date=' better don't use those words on any upload site/space

 

and the file will stay up till it reach the max dl or expire

Two things.

1: The word "child" shouldn't be setting off any flags.

2: The use of those words in filenames is not against their listed TOS, so they shouldn't be blocking files and claiming they're doing so because of TOS violations.
