Here is one person's experience. Your mileage will vary and things change frequently. I download 10 files or more per day. I think my base wireless speed is 12mb/sec. Feel free to add you own comments.
Sendspace: Fast,but 300mb per time limit (every 3 hours, maybe) --not for me, 300mb is half a file. ------------------------------------- OpenLoad: captcha that my software can't auto-crack. --not for me, multiple captchas per day is tiresome -------------------------- Solidfiles: First choice for older files. About 6 simultaneous downloads allowed for a total speed of about 6mb/sec. Single files are slow (1-2mb/sec) Unlimited queue. --------------------------- Zippyshare: 6mb/sec to 10mb/sec, regardless of number of simultaneous downloads (4 - 6 simultaneous files generally allowed) Unlimited queue.
Lately, it's been quirky but still gets the job done for me, but sometimes slow... ------------------------------ 1Fichier: 1 file per 3 hours --not for me. ---------------- Spotlight: Jheberg/Free
The individual downloads speeds are slow, but you can have 17+ simultaneous downloads and achieve an overall speed in the range of Solidfiles/Zippyshare. A good option for end of season batches. (Note: For me 17 was good speed, 18 was bad.)
Free has some older files, so next choice after Solidfiles when looking for stuff almost certainly dead.
------------------------------------ Jheberg has some new offerings: FilesCDN has someone's out there's positive comment. The others I know nothing about. -------------------------------------------------
Note: Before you give up on a source, always try different numbers of simultaneous downloads. Starting small is better than starting big.
---------------------------------------------------- It's been shown before in AT comments that different users in different parts of the world get different service experiences. Some services that give me terrible speeds and limits give other users great experiences. What makes Zippyshare and Solidfiles exceptional is they give good service to most users.
You have at least 3 options to improve your download service:
1. Premium account at a ddl-service. -Not really recommended. 2. Usenet access. It's like the biggest premium account, but depends on up-loaders for content. Free access to Usenet is too limited to be of much use. 3. Seedbox rental with Internet connection. Download the torrents you want to your seedbox and from your seedbox to your laptop. Shop for a value deal.
Main options for each file seem to be: Sendspace, ZippyShare, OpenLoad, along with the aggregator sites; Go4Up, Jheberg& MultiUp
Solidfiles can be found in the aggregators, but I seem to remember it being a main option along with Zippyshare, sendspace and OpenLoad, untill not so long ago?
Solid is a decent host from the Downloaders perspective, allowing limitless multiple downloading, its a good alternative to Zippyshare in that regard
I'm seeing MultiUp links as recently as 1 hour ago. The drop-down menus require a little more time, but once you see the Multiup name you can click on that and see which links are ready.
Zippy has not yet given any reason for the block, you're guess is as good as mine. A configuration mistake is unlikely given the length of time of the block, and there are no court orders for ISPs to block Zippy. It is likely an intensional block, the reason is unknown. Could be due to legal notices/threats, in response to Brexit challenges, as a procedure to save bandwidth, an attempt to prevent a DDoS attack, or maybe just for a laugh.
It seems like the provider was returning many 441 errors to post requests. I think I've managed to find a workaround, so hopefully this allows the backlog of uploads to eventually be processed. Thanks for raising the issue.
Lord Lord Cockmud the seventh profusely corrected the pseudo-plods over in Lower Western Colony (pending) because Zippy is how he gets his weekly German donkey treats. However whomever he generously instructed was some nub with nothing but local admin access, a Star Trek chair, and a one-button Apple mouse in whomever's lower lower intestines thus it now depends on which poxy NSA proxy the request is redirected through for filtration. Apparently. Rumored. Or so they say so maybe not. Not even the steamed Lord Lord Cockmud the seventh could do more.
*nods sagely and taps side of nose but not simultaneously, never simultaneously*
I am not Lord Lord Cockmud the seventh, I am Anonymous and I leave donkeys alone.
He just did check the certificate tough. Redirecting to same server, but diff. page is possible tough. It might be there are routing problems (as he did test with HMA), thus they redirect temporary. Though that sure would have been some time by now.
"The 403 Forbidden Error happens when the web page (or other resource) that you’re trying to open in your web browser is a resource that you’re not allowed to access. It’s called a 403 error because that’s the HTTP status code that the web server uses to describe that kind of error. You usually get this error for one of two reasons. The first is that the owners of the web server have properly set up access permissions, and that you’re really not allowed access to the resource. The second reason is that the owners of the web server have improperly set up permissions and you’re getting denied access when you really shouldn’t be."
The point here is 'HTTP 403' or '403 Forbidden' or 'Error 403' is issued mainly by the website (web server) but it also can be caused and reported by ISP i.e when an ISP blocks a URL.
According to Wikipedia, Zippyshare started to be blocked in UK by ISPs on March 8, 2019. The reason given is that it was done by *mistake* and it remains unresolved as of March 10.
Yeah I get the 403 as well, my ISP is EE and they don't even block piratebay, so i find it hard to believe they'd randomly block Zippyshare and nothing else, lol.
You may tell us at which os and which browsers/software you did test it. If you f.e. do get a 403 just on firefox some newly/updated plugin might be at fault.
No problems for me either. If it happens for all zippyfiles, a block is possible.
Otherwise: 1. Have you changed anything on your computer lately, like blocking cookies, new OS, new anti-virus? 2. Are the 403s consistent for a file when retried? 3. Is it only zippyshare?
The only thing I can think to try is to clear the dns cache:
To clear the cache, go to the command prompt (create a DOS box) and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
It will return back that the DNS has been flushed.
You do mean https://animetosho.org/view/.n1125378 !? Zippyshare works perfect, in browser and jdownloader. Seems to be on your side then. Maybe some routing problem or if none works may isp decided to block zippy?
Could you say what show/series it was for? I haven't been looking for that error, but zippyshares has been very quick to take down some of the current releases this season, and their performance has been up and down for a while.
