If I remember correctly, Google Drive has a limit on the number of downloads per day

Issue with torrents is that you need ppl seeding. And most are just leeches.

Yep unfortunately there is limit on how many times it can be downloaded before it locks up.
Maybe actually donate next time? Nopy was the best. If they were making enough for it to be worth their while to solve the payment provider problems they'd still be up. A $6k server bill and they can't figure it out? There wasn't enough support (likely) or they were absolutely garbage with budgeting (also possible). These things don't operate in perpetuity for little / no reward.

I am not sure it was all the fact if they were or were not making enough to cover costs. A lot of payment processors have gotten on their moral high ground. A lot of places that host adult things have been having issues with them

Next time, try reading before leaving a comment.
To everyone saying they shoiuld have done this or that: They weren't targeted for anything but hosting fetish porn, that some of the current heads of the banks and payment processors consider whatever their retarded line of thinking is. It's the same that would've happened to patreon if they wouldn't have bent the knee to them. A lot of (more or less) sex workers have the same problem right now, in that banks (and paypal) try to make their existence unsustainable in their crazed moralizing power trip.
Frankly the only solution I see to this is either someone creating an alternative to the current banks/payment processors and simply allowing everything not straight up illegal, with as little moral arbitration as possible. Though, unless said moral arbitration is straight up illegalized there is simply no way to be sure.
The only other alternative to that is violence applied directly to these moral busybodies. Can't force your morals on people if your head ain't on your shoulders.

You ever followed someone trying to fight paypal in court? That's a full time job that sucks money like no one's business. Payment processors have screwed with folks with far more pull and resources than Nopy and will continue to do so until the public stops buying the propaganda and demands they be regulated like the bank they have basically become. Sadly there are still enough folks out there that think this kind of censorship is OK as long as it's targeting the other guy.
Paypal's legal team, and the powers that be that ultimately back this kind of action will absoutely steamroll any lawyer you can buy for $6 k a month. You live in a world where sitting presidents are fair game to get banned while terrorists get a pass this ain't that simple.
No, not 4 years losing 1000 monthly. A year ago, their expenses were only $2500/mo. A year before that, it was <$1000.4 years losing $1,000 monthly? Wow, that's an impressive commitment
Considering what they have stated on that farewell announcement it was a borderline legal service, and they were finally hunted down once their income level crossed some supervision limit. This is just what happens when you want to play but don't observe the rules of the game. Anonimity is nice and all but there are reasons why legally established companies don't want to risk doing business with those people - where there's anonimity, there's no accountability, and where there's no accountability there are all kind of highly illegal business, and I'm not talking about incest games. Any payment processor out there will ask them to put some control to the content hosted, plus there's also that little thing called taxes and so on.
So I do believe they were doing OK on the financial side of things (at least they were covering their monthly expenses) but they just didn't want to go through all that hassle and as I said in other post I can understand that. All I'm saying is that there are viable alternatives to get the funds you need if you really want to keep the business running - of course that would have meant changing some aspects of that business, and that's why I understand their choice to not to do so and just close it down. I'll miss them as much as everybody else, but I don't think they'll ever come back unless they finally decide to go all pro, with all consequences. If they do, money won't be a problem -as it wasn't right now because they have all the support they needed.

1Ficher is also a pretty good site and has very high download speed, i downloaded from it many times but the bad thing is that you need pay if you want to download more than once otherwise you need to wait a day (or half a day, i don't know exactly).
I find it more superior than Mega because Mega has a limit of 5GB memory files while on 1Ficher you can download even files bigger than 10GB, i don't even think 1Ficher has a download limit
Also you can bypass that time limit of downloading if you simply change your IP, then you are free to download again.

Ok but if they weren't having issues raising funds why not switch to crypto donations?
