What is your preferred file host?

[desmosome]

Is Gofile inconvenient to use for uploaders (size cap/upload limit/whatever)?
These days, Gofile has absurdly fast download speeds for me.

I still like Mediafire. Hosting anything that's your own is great there.

The thing I dislike the most about MEGA is that it downloads the thing as a page element instead of an external download, which lets them cut your download midway if it got over your daily limit. Fuck that shit.

1Fichier usually has great speeds, though it doesn't let you have parallel downloads. Useful for multi GB sized files.

If Zippy had a larger file limit, that would be my goto, always get very consistent speeds from there, otherwise I tend to go for the workupload, which is a bit worse for speeds, but it tends to work fairly well

MEGA is an absolute nightmare as you are forced to either use their software (which is a massive pain to use) or do browser downloading, which is always hit and miss as I've had multiple occasions where hitting "save" does nothing for some reason after the download, nevermind the stupid transfer limit....

 

[SecretSal]

The ones I get good download speeds from are Zippy, Mediafire, Workupload and Pixeldrain. MEGA too but the cap makes it unusable for larger games. I remember getting a good DL from terminal.lc as well, but it says they're closed to new registrations, so that might be out.

Anything beside anonfiles is fine for me. That particular filehost is really garbage.

 

[anon98989]

number one is Torrent for sure, if it's not available then any other sites beside Mixdrop and mega

 

[ag36]

Torrent is probably the best option, mega is fine for smaller files.

 

[Meaning Less]

Torrent is probably the best option

Torrents are a great option for completed games.
But they are actually horrible for games under development, especially the ones released monthly/weekly. Because there will never be enough time to gather a healthy number of seeders and they will keep being abandoned as soon as a new version shows up...

Dunno about weekly releases, but rpdl manages to make it work. Granted, it's backed by some kind of web service IIUC.

MEGA for me since I pay premium, blazing fast and enough to backup all my shit. GoFile works for free, really depends on what I need permanently or temporarily.

 

[Penumbral Evanescence]

For me I prefer GoFile, Mega is good as an option too, but as other users had pointed out the cap on downloads can be annoying, especially when they disrupt your download mid-way through downloading...I've had a situation in the past where I had gone over my Mega download limit for the day and my 10GB download was disrupted and I then had to download from another file host instead...

I've also had good experiences with PixelDrain as well....MediaFire is good, and

You must be registered to see the links

is one that I personally enjoy as well...

 

[Deleted member 6690386]

I like PixelDrain and GoFile. Mediafire is great but I rarely see it used for the games I like.

 

[Mookys]

I use Mediafire, Pixeldrain, or Gofile, and I also use IDM to increase the speed of my downloads.

 

[HiZeInteractive]

Probably Mega / Google Drive

 

[kuvayimilfiye]

Torrent better for me, rpdl doing ok job for now.
