    All UL links go "NaN B/s". Been like this here for at least a week, sadly

    Unfortunately for me, it rarely works. I get all kinds of errors, or just plain nothing happening. Most often it's 500; internal error, 600; invalid size, NaN B/s usually means "don't even try", and sometimes it uploads all the archive parts but one or two and it just won't upload those no matter what... Maybe the people who maintain it are on vacation, or even worse. I more often than not find myself using rutracker, or Crom forbid [because it takes 15 minutes per link to click your way through it] leechpremium site. Sometimes I just use UL or RG link provided and then forget about it... then 3 hours later you get surprised "oh, it's downloaded!" :wink:

    Yeah, it's a shame... OBOOM used to work much better some months ago. Could be it's overloaded by requests. Still, I managed to dl some really big sample banks [Ample Sound] with it in the last couple of weeks, and that made me very happy. :wink:

    I started thinking of OBOOM as a kind of gambling... you either get lucky or not, generally not lately. It certainly works better than gambling, though. With gambling you always lose. With OBOOM you at least win sometimes. :wink:

    Currently it works... at least with Uploaded links. Rapidgator still refuses to work though. Actually hasn't worked for months now.

    i doubt that it will ever work with rapidgator again. rg seems to have figured out a way to keep the leech sites out.

    personally, i find that when oboom does not work for a ul link, if i delete the link from the queue and then try the remote upload again, it will work. sometimes i have to do this three or four times before it actually works. and sometimes it seems like the smaller files work much faster than big files (over 300mb), which leads me to believe that they have only a certain amount of bandwidth available and if their servers are busy, you're just going to have to keep on trying.

    Yesterday it worked great for UL, I was able to upload quite a few things, today it's back to having issues. I guess that's the way it is. Honestly Oboom is such a good option for a free thing that I can't complain at all. And there's always the option to just wait the download time, the russians and so on.

    No I don't. Could that be why they haven't responded ? Because I've sent email before around June for storage issues and they responded to fix it.
