You knew that they would have to reduce it when theres became more people using it. Bandwidth is usually given to the paid users but at least Trap17 lets you have a bunch of it. They should have at least e-mailed yu or somehow notified you of the new policies before then though. it just shows that the company isn't being very responsible......

Is it just me or did Megaupload decrease their download limit again? A few days ago I was able to download about 5 or so files off it until it tells me my download limit has been exceeded. Then today, after downloading 2 files, it said my download limit has been exceeded. And I know that I haven't downloaded more than I did a few days ago because all these files were approximately the same size.

The idea of Trap17 being a file hosting service would be horrible. Think about it, Trap17 sometimes has DDOS attacks, or mass emailers that down the server and just mysql. If people were hosting there files on our service the server would be considerable slower. And since members already complain about how sometimes there server goes down, it'd make things much much more difficult.

Also people would be hosting illegal files, warez, and porn on Trap17, and that's a big "no-no". It'd be quite difficult to keep track of all that.

Wow that sucks not only did they reduce mb, they reduced half the limit size.... but I'm glad filelodge.com hasn't reduced the file limit. It's always been 500mb, I recommend filelodge if you need a file host. But filelodge is down at times, I use fileden.com also too. Its the same as filelodge, 500mb file limit.

I don't like Mega Upload , they reduce their download limil very often and one more thing , I tried to download a lot of time but they always said that all 100 slot in my country were used so I really hate them. Why Mega Upload since there is a good site named Rapid Share ? Rapid Share is better than Mega Upload a lot.

well, it is bad that the way these file sharing services are reducing the download limit. Rapidshare has also reduced the limit and asks people to wait after they download one or two files. It is getting worse everyday but the fact remains the same that they are giving us free services only to attrack people for their premium services and for that they'll apply these kind of restrictions.

However, they can take other steps apart from these restrictions and allow people to donwload stuff. Atleast they must mention it somewhere on their websites, like angel has mentioned about filelodge and fileden..where they say that the limit of download is 500 mb

Many companies are doing exactly what you've mentioned about megaupload. Whether file uploading or webhosting or anything which is free service. Once they get enough visitors or users on their own, they started downgrading their quality service simply because they have already got what they want and they don't care about those who seek stuffs and services free from them.

I think that all these file hosting servers like rapidshare.de and megaupload are encouraging illegal downloads of porn videos as well as movies. Many a times I have seen people downloading songs and such things. However if I were to use a file hosting service (I hardly use it though), rapidshare.de and megaupload doesn't work for me. Both of them are not very quick in terms of the download speed.

Rapidshare.de for some reason does not allow me to download the files i want for some reason. They give me an error that I am already downloading something, the most funniest thing is that the ip they mentioned is downloading something does not belong to me but rather to the desktop. That is the reason why I do not like rapidshare.de

As for megaupload, it is way too slow if you are downloading anything. The maximum speed as I can remember with megaupload did not hit past 7 kb/sec. Imagine downloading something as much as 200 mb? It would take ages for it to be completed.

If I were to recommend a file hosting service, you can try sendspace.com or ultimateuploads.com, both of which I find it pretty good to use especially if you are downloading something big.

in my opinion, the limits should be going up. internet connection is getting so much faster every year it seems. my friend has a connection speed of 24mbps. this is so much!!! these sites should just get a better connection which doesnt cost as much now as it did a couple of years ago and let people upload alot more. that is just my opinion but you can dissagree with me.
