Maybe it’s time to choose different FFS for AudioZ?

    After years and years of heavy downloading , frustration is coming strong.
    I’m not satisfied with my download on the Z site. I’d be happy to see audioz releases on different hosts than rapidgator and uploaded. These premium modes are so complicated to buy, and on the other hand, they offer miserable speed for free users.
    I’d like a host that can handle decent speed in free mode and can be superfast and paypal friendly in premium

    Would it be possible?

    I haven't been able to get any discount coupons for UL. I thought about switching to NF, but they tack-on a $9 surcharge when paying and can't find discount codes with it either. ;-0

    I'm all for some additional hosts/mirrors but keep in mind one thing - that uploaded and rapidgator keep the links up the longest. When you really want to download something, countless times I was forced to download from either uploaded or rapidgator simply because all other filesharing hosts deleted their links. So my vote would rather go for some additional mandatory filesharing hosts.

    I like rockfile, uploadboy and filemoney filesharing hosts because they don't make it so troublesome to download files from them, but as I said - they tend to delete the files sooner than UL and RG.

    Cheers!

    I have no idea about what could be the best host for everybody. Actually, this is a delicate issue: releasers needs their reward, and downloaders have to download in the simplest and fastest way possible.
    Maybe we need an answer to this question from top releasers like sunny, integral, fantastic, alexfduch, GonBi etc...

    totally right & logic, i may suggest, when a new release comes out, first day or 2 or 3 or whatever, comes only for premium users or people that haves premium accounts, then a chosen few fellas release a mirror or two for everybody, while only registered user can see and use, that way uploaders can get "their reward" and people can download later with kind of full speed...

    i personally prefer waiting a day or two and i can download with a respected speed, than get humiliated downloading as a free user or not downloading at all...

    that's how i see it, love it or hate it...

    in that case.. I suspect they would opt for the status quo if they are satisfied with their returns from their posts....
    unless you can offer them a better or equal alternative...

    not to be cheeky.. but why should they do the homework when it's you who wants the change?

    it is not "him" only it is a lot of people who's suffering from this, and i'm being one of them...

    ok then... how about not only complaining. but offering a viable solution... ? it takes nothing to complain.
    but coming up with your own proposal to improve would be a better use of your brainpower...

    be constructive...

    that said.. I am not a big fan of rapidgator.... myself.. but you CAN buy a subscription to a debrid
    that is much cheaper and gives you access to multiple hosts...

    such as real debrid.. and no I don't get anything back from them.. nor work for them....

    but it is at least a suggestion to cut your "suffering " in the meanwhile... there is no free lunch my friends...

    I'm a regular subscriber to NF and a casual subscriber to UL

    While I'm extremely grateful for all the generous content being offered by posters, I'm also frustrated why many of the posts are exclusive only to UL+RG:
    "... has been exclusively released on AudioZ by ... who chose to ask not to post mirrors. Please respect the uploader's wishes"

    If the uploader wishes for no other mirrors, then at least there should be a few more primary hosts than UL,RG.

    @Dalmation they are offering you something essentially for free... when they request no mirrors.. it is their prerogative
    to do so.. this has been common practice here for a very long time.. since I joined and before... I agree some of these hosters
    are problematic...find a way to buy the membership get a debrid..or wait for a post with mirrors, or respectfully request from the uploader in pm....

    those who generously make things available to us.. don't deserve to be harangued about how they choose to do so..
    and in fact.. they don't owe us anything .... it's there for you .. then try to find a way... if you can't get it
    then save your nickels dimes roubles pence or whatever... and buy. it.. or ask Santa Claus to stuff it in your stocking !! :winker:

    p.s. don't bother with zevera, total waste of money, and sucks mega balls

    Have you ever heard about debrid services? One account to download from multiple hosts, take a look to Alldebrid, Real-Debrid, Linksnappy, Simply-debrid, Zevera, premiumize.me etc.

    The idea of using this particular hosters, is because some uploaders actually BUY the stuff for you.
    It's perfectly normal to do this.
    What's not normal, is uploading Freeware in those hosters, and don't leave the direct link in the posts. And this is a problem.
    Money makers are always trying to get that extra cents with this tactic. If you see it's free, go to the page (Most cases just google, as those greedy uploaders "forget") and you get the stuff. I do this a lot, and I even have account on some of those sites, as I get more stuff later ;)
    Also, money makers, tent to upload updates with Teams keygens that everyone have and make it "exclusive". In these cases, I just ignore it. Remember when I mention above that I have account on the developers site? ;)

    So please, stop crying... you already get stuff for free, and I bet that all of you have enough material to make 100 albums.
    And please.... Stop requesting things that are out in the same day, or are iLok/Pace protected.

    I don't like either (though UL&RG links are welcome since they last the most as Herr said). But it's up to the uploader. If you search you will find alternative sites with faster free sharing. I-used Alldebrid a couple years ago and it works pretty good, and is really cheap.

    I just can't believe what i'm reading here ! After years and years of downloading, you're frustrated? Spoiled brat is what comes to mind first.

    Hosts are not a leecher's choice. It's up to the uploaders to select which host they prefer. If they add others, even better.

    What i don't like if the "forced switching option" of your remark.:dont: So you think that because of your so-called frustration, it is perfectly ok to disregard all those who have bought an annual premium subscription to etiher Rapidgator or Uploaded? Thanks for them.

    And if you don't like it then as many have already pointed out, subscribe to a debrid service. Or go to a torrent site. They're free.:bow:

    this is something that i've been thinking about for more that a year.
    yes, RG and UL are not perfect, but there is simply nothing else at the moment that we could rely on.

    RapidGator has launched AlfaFile.net and it's very likely that it will be our next primary FS, but so far nobody even uses it, and once uploaders will start using it we'll need to test it for a few months.

    So far there are no decent alternatives, so as Diabulus in Musica suggested, you should try Zevera :yes:

    What if we rent a private server (or buy) ? if everyone here donate 1$ we could rent one for at least one year.
    With a good authorizing system and encryption we won't get banned
    No need for very powerful one, just a good connexion and if we have enough donations we could make mirrors

    how can you suffer from it? i mean the things, which get shared here are free, because you can download them with free accounts.

    i dont have premium for both too, but i have to admit, there are uploaded and rg links, which are 2-3 years old and still work, all the other locker links are all down always, even mega, not to mention zippy or whatever you name.
    why? because rg and ul have a really big infrastructure, which has to be paid in anyway and this makes it possible to have files longer online.

    NF sucks big balls, 3 minutes waiting time, 20kb/s speed with JD2 in browser 50kb/s, 3 hours or more waiting time before next file, thats a million ways worse than RG or UL.

    i am happy with the current condition.
    if somebody has bought it, why shouldnt he be able to have mirrored by others? which hasnt provide anything to the release?
    we have quite a lot users on Z, which provide mirrors, only mirrors and do nothing else ...
