[Suggestion] Use Mediafire As Ur Uploading Site

**SanctuS** · 06-04-2008, 08:09 AM

this is exactly why i will only use Mediafire as my primary uploading site for my uploads for others to download from>>>

Quote:

that is great to hear bro....mediafire is the only MAJOR file sharing site out there that supports multiple downloading as a free user and offers high speeds on all the multiple downloads...

i mean i was downloading 10 different links at the sametime from mediafire and averaged around 170KB to 225KB on all of the downloads from start to finish....now ive never seen that from anyother one....maybe if u r a premium user to some, but never for a free user...

there is only one downside that i can name at all from mediafire and that is that u cant upload password protected archives aka .rar, .zip, 7z, etc....now i dont really see this as a downside at all...but some might...im just trying to get ppl to use this as it will help alot of ppl that dont have premium accounts to some of the other popular upload sites, such as RS and MU...thank you all for reading this...

I benchmarked these two links

Code:

http://anonym.to/?http://rapidshare.com/files/113024145/backup0012tlnp.part02.rar

Code:

http://www.mediafire.com/?wxiljzdgxxj

It's the exact same file and they're both 95MB.

My results using IDM 5.12

Indeed, mediafire does allow multiple connections while rapidshare does not. I was getting an average of around 610KB/s, I'm on 8MB Sky Broadband and tend to get fairly high speeds, usually anywhere between 800KB/s-1000KB/s.

So here goes.

Mediafire: I got 16 connections, downloaded fairly fast but at the end, i couldn't finish downloading my file because mediafire wouldn't send me the last byte, evetually it timed out, gave me this message

then just sent me an html file of about 17k. So a wasted effort there.

Rapidshare Premium: Again, 16 connections, downloaded at an average of about 920Kb/s. Rapidshare had no problem sending me the last byte, therefore i had a fully functioning 7th of national treasure book of secrets! Woo, go me!

Rapidshare (Free): Yippee! It's Happy Hours and i don't have to wait a decade to enter a captcha code. On this connection i averaged around 730KB/s. Again, rapidshare had no problem with me downloading the last byte of the file. So i'm now armed with 2 of the same seventh of National Treasure.

I'd be interested to know how other people fair between these two hosts.

I prefer media fire too.
First as sanctus said, we do not need to wait because we can register for free.
Second,when i use my broadband connection which has a dynamic ip,i could not download from rapidshare at all as the ip keeps changing unless it is happy hours.

@ Heavy-Metal-Viking>>>

sorry, but ur testing between the two sites...only applies to a person that has a premium account to RS...otherwise u dont get the high speed that RS offers to non-premium members....plus like i stated before u dont get multiple downloads from RS, unless u have a premium account....

As showed in my results, i got an extra 140KB/s from rapidshare free than from mediafire. It's all down to personal preference, people can upload where they want, but i agree, mediafire may be the better choice if they allow multiple seperate downloads for free users.

Also, mediafire seems to be incompatible with my download manager, i'd be interested to know if anyone else has this problem.
