    i think it's a way to deal with debrids

    i try to stay away from taking money from anyone. i was never doing this as a business.
    i had high hopes for IPFS - that would be perfect solution, but it just doesn't work. :sad:

    We'll come up with something, or in other words, we'll have to come up with something.

    Only Rapidshare would be a monopoly of Rapidshare and monopolies are always bad.
    And we don't know whether Rapidshare might be banned at some point, so we need an alternative anyway.

    Uploaded, Rapidshare and Megaupload have been banned and/or gone bankrupt.
    Either the number of users went down or the court prohibited continued operation due to copyright infringements.

    Perhaps we should think about reviving peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. For example: RuTracker, the biggest Russian BitTorrent tracker.

    Comments that don't directly relate to the topic, but might be inspiring:
    - The YouTube alternative is, for example, Bitchute and Odysee.
    - The BitCoin invention as an alternative to cash.

    Please remember: File sharing of illegal files is a criminal offense!!!

    It's been almost twenty years since we've been here and we are proud and excited to have our beloved site uncharged (not like other copycat sites set up for the sole purpose of sucking money).

    But logically, those who are in better financial circumstances, can always help by generously contributing to the specified bitcoin address or with bank card by clicking the piggy bank icon under the logo.

    Long live to SAiNT and the non-selfish who also think of others. ❤️ :shalom:

    Believe it or not, the problem has just disappeared. For me at least (Europe).

    Is not gofile a decent alternative?

    There are no speed limits on downloads. Its goes as fast as your ISP will allow!

    NitroFlare - 'In March 2021, the British High Court ordered the country's major internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to Nitroflare. This was due to the cyberlocker being used for copyright infringement.'

    It won't work with a VPN either so there's no way to access it from the UK.

    With Avira VPN Pro, I have direct access without having to provide information. Looks suspicious. If indeed Katfile's policy now requires for you to create a username and provide an email, then it would happen everytime you want to download something, whether you use a VPN or not.

    It's back to normal for me now. Still would be a good idea to have a back-up plan ready-to-go when s*** hits the fan in the future.

    I guess I blinked and missed something, as all of a sudden (to me!) everyone stopped using File Factory.

    I always thought File Factory to be decent, anyone care to bring me up to date?

    File Factory = 15/20k for free users...

    even kat file is no compare to rocksolid uploaded and rapidgator .
    besides the million times people did got informed about the
    compelling properties a oneclick hoster needs they always come back req for clicknupload .
    fun fact its not forbidden to ad more hosters to the mainhosters like horsemen always did or not instantly busted to use completly other on mirror open posts if its a valueable work and targed and not daily business upload....
    the options and workarounds are also always overheared ...
    besides that that u just need prem for libs and while gong or so ...good torrent places can be asked bout too via pm...
    but then ppl using gordons work and connecting to Sberg servers asking for vpn compatibility for oneclick hoster dl which is not targedable by law bla bla ...

    and never the people gets asked who work with it or the people who have full overview bout current oneclick offer

    but feckn clickn is fast yeah....rofl

    I has to uploadz my drivers license, passport and birth certificate every time I wants to download a new firefoxes update from thems. It takes 4ever to hook up my scanner everytime I wants to get a new filez, plus now someone has hacked my bank accounts and has changed my wallpaper to my passport photo.

    I'm thinking of switching to Krome or Oprah or wahtever browser..

    Technically that's not correct. I've never had a problem connecting to it. I need a shave by the time I finish downloading anything, but still it's not blocked.. Then my ISP isn't a 'major' one, so...

    I do miss Zippyshare though.
