why cant people just use dropbox or google

[thedude91]

seriously I keep finding great songs that I wanna learn but some of you people use the shadiest sites.  
mediafire might be well know but its still full of ads, then there are plenty of other no name back alley sites that yall seem to use.
its not like your getting a share of the advertisement money so why don't you people use dropbox and/or google.

God I despise mediafire. I usually download cdlc during my twitch stream and for some reason mediafire downloads at like 5kbs. Soooooo slow.

If you wanted, you can use JDownloader to download the files for you. People have too many different preferences to force them all to use one of only two sites.

I've personally never had this issue. I use chrome w/ adblock plus and my mediafire downloads are instant.

 

I would do a traceroute to mediafire and possibly contact your ISP.

Mediafire is always very fast when i download, and I never see ads there(Firefox w. adblock plus). Dropbox is often slow and even down.

Firefox with adblock stops all pop-ups and ads and makes Mediafire work just as fast as Dropbox.

Chrome with Adblock also stops all of the ads on mediafire.  I have been running adblock for so long that I really wasn't aware that it was a problem.  I ran out of space on dropbox pretty quickly so I started using mediafire about a year ago due to the increased storage I have there.

 

Another feature I like about mediafire is that I can see how many times a file has been downloaded.

I Use Mediafire And Adblock on Opera Browser And it Works Pretty Fast. Ive never had A Problem with it :).

Yeah, dropbox ftw, it's more convenient than these ad sites.

 

It's probably not worth the trouble for the admins, but just as a thought, I think it would be cool if Customsforge would host these files. It'd allow a direct download button and possibly some other cool features, and the files aren't too big I think. I'm aware it might mean bigger server costs, but maybe we could donate to the cause? :)

The thing is then you'd be hosting files that infringe copyright and that's not very wise choice.

 

Just use file hosting sites, much better option.

Oh yeah, good point there.

Mediafire uses progressive throttling..  if you download only a few files, you wont see a decrease in speed, but once you start mass downloading mediafire responds by increased use of captchas and eventually throttling the speed to near 5kps.  One way ive found to get around this is to use a proxy such as hola (not that hola is that great)

It's the bandwidth that would kill us as well, besides the possible infringement issues :P

I use Firefox with adblock too and my downloads are instatnt too. So strange that people have issues with media fire.All services seems the same too me.But some others like to promote something. :mellow:
