I suggest Firefox users should use addon RefControl to prevert MF or other hosters detecting where the links come frome. Basically it will fool MF with false referrer or no referrer at all, to reduce chance of its banning the whole site from using it, and bypass prohibition on already banned sites.
Opera has a similar feature built-in: to disable sending referrer information, hit F12 to launch the quick preference menu. Here, uncheck the option “Send Referrer Information”. But I don't suggest permanently disabling this because of protential problems.
(I heard) Chrome also has a similar addon. (But saa~, I only use Firefox)
No (see above) but they may as well be as there's rarely ever a successful upload. Do a search for Peejeshare on the home page - there's still some links getting made.
They still get uploaded to, but they're failing very often (largely getting disk space full errors). I kind of do wonder how well they maintain their systems...
i already following that, anyway THANKS TO REPLY! i tought no one is going to reply T^T can you recomend another one? (umm.. did you notice? peejeeshare is slowly gone.. or is it my mistake?)
umm... guys i know it's out of topic to discuss this now, but.. i'm damn bored here ( ̄◇ ̄;) can anyone recommend a good anime? sci-fi, or adventure is okay, as long as it has comedy :D
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Unfortunately they don't solve the problem with other sites' links being taken down. I know the last time was because of this, though I don't know whether this is the case all the time.
I don't think we're significant enough to really attract attention yet.

Random thought that popped into my head: I wonder if some lame Javascript hiding trick would be effective enough to make it annoying enough to copy links. Use Javascript to force MF links to open in a new window without an address bar. Easy to break, but maybe the low-paid worker reporting links might not know. Will make life more annoying for those who copy links into a downloader, maybe...
Regarding MF issue, I have a few (stupid / noob / so-so / good) suggestion depends on what admin think. :D
For website:-
1. Only registered user can see the download link (sorry, but it was proved by lots of MF sharing site out there). Add captcha at the register page and/or activation link to prevent bots.
2. Try to remove AnimeTosho from top 100 results for any popular keyword (anime download, mediafire download etc) in Google / Yahoo / any search engine.
3. Change the default language to something beside popular ones (English afaik). For example Chinese, Vietnam etc, unicode lang is recommended. (again sorry for this, because from my experience I see a lot of sites using language beside English that actually survived from suspended MF issues, and I'm not Chinese / Vietnam). Registered user can change this to English from the page though.
Well I know that those suggestions kills AnimeTosho purpose for easy sharing, but it's not that anyone lose their freedom to download. Also, most DDL site that I know tends to do this.
Anyway, thanks for reading and considering this suggestion. :)
Yeah, forgot to mention before that I've 'used to' leached a lot of premium sites before, but didn't use them now because of personal reason. Visited frequent site like premiumlinkgens.blogspot.com, leech.gopro4vn.com, a few FB page (forgot their page name) but I doubt they're regularly update now like they're used to.
I still secured a few premium account though, such as RS or Fileserve and their sister host site, but ATosho rarely upload to that host recently (not that I hope they do), so I stuck with Peeje / MF.
Oh, and I've also use add-on like skipscreen (to skip waiting times for various sites) before, didn't bother them now as I don't actually prefer premium host now.
It's interesting that they haven't, but I suppose if accounts aren't being created too frequently, they won't bother. Current account lasted just under 2 days, but previous ones lasted over a week.
I think I have some better understanding of how these things work now though. I don't think file names or file content is an issue, so I'll remove the annoying archive wrapping for Mediafire. I do happen to know that the previous account was suspended because a bunch of links from another site got reported (and they copy some links from here). I don't know about previous suspensions though, as the law enforcement agency just typically dumps a bunch of links (that they think are infringing - they don't actually check all of them) to Mediafire, and they just suspend files/accounts that exist in the list.
I don't like it, but link protection (DLC?) may be necessary. I've got another idea I'll try first though.

hmm, I know it can be frustrating with free download prom premium hosting sites, but you can try leeching it though :)
try Altervis's suggestion in the comment below, I think it's great and very generous of him to share :)
There are other leeching sites of course, which you can search for on Google. I hope that helps. Good luck.
Well obviously it's not like we didn't try, for god sake.
One of the reasons we depends on MF because of speed, because other hosts like Chauthanh is too slow at certain area (~10-50KBps in my area) when MF could give somewhere around 10-12MBps (MBps, mind you, not KBps). Not all people can't reach good speed with Chauthanh compare to MF. Also, I can queue also with MF, and dload 8-10 of files simultaneously, other hosts can't do that. I also can save MF link to my account to secure the file first if I can't dload at that time. And of course, premium crap like Filefactory/Depositfiles/Bayfiles and other same kind of host IS crap. Capped speed, download manager not supported, stupid long waiting time, limited files/day etc etc, when it's not premium. Not all of us are rich, and we didn't have all of these issues with MF, and its FREE.
I agree for Peejeshare, only host I think that nearly on par with MF is this host, thanks for that admin. Good speed actually, but sometimes can't dload because of slot limit (need to wait), and can't queue much. But it's better than nothing.
Thanks for the comment though.

well, I would certainly appreciate if MF links can be maintained, but I feel bad for admin having to creating new accounts and re-uploading files all the time. And guess what, weeks (or, god forbids, days) later, they may get deleted again!
If it wasn't for the good download speed I would say that MF sucks, because it is. It treats uploaders and downloaders like crap.
I'm glad that admin has now add other easy-to-download hosts such as Peejeshare, so we don't have to rely on MF all the time. Personally, I use Peejeshare, Filefactory, Depositfiles, Chauthanh and MF.
My message here is: People! Try out other hosts, for god sake, you may discover your new favorite hosting site!
@admin: yeah, we know it's tough, MF deletes people's accounts all the time, it's MF's fault for its own awful service. Don't let it upset you too much. We understand and feel for you. Thanks for your efforts :)
Well, there'll be people posting about it regardless, so I'll just create a new account if I see it, or I get an email from MF about suspended account, whatever happens first.
Admin, just asking, should we need to inform you about suspended MF account?
Well, I know that no one can solve that problem and maybe you know about this already, but I thought at least someone have to tell you when this happens. This is because of what happens now. Files that you uploaded to MF (since yesterday I think) can't be downloaded because of this suspended thing.
hmm some people are able to upload torrents bigger than 1,5 gb and they appear here on AT the last time i tried it didn't work... anyone know how to do this?
Update for anyone interested. Been over 3 days with the server dropping packets left and right. Did a test a few hours ago, pinging for 30 minutes and getting 93% packet loss. (translation: I have to stop all updates, because everything will break anyway) Host takes forever to respond to any queries I put forward, and it seems they don't actually have a solution (asking if I'm interested in moving server again). Wonderful.
Can't figure out why updates won't propagate. I could do a workaround if the connection was more stable, but if we're going to change server anyway, it probably doesn't matter. Oh and trying to remotely diagnose problems over a connection with 93% packet loss is great. Every time you try to do something, the connection hangs, drops out or derp herps and herp derps at the same time.
At time of writing, things seem to be going slightly better, but who knows how long that'll last. Trying to push a few uploads through at least, and getting a somewhat workable speed of ~50KB/s (over a 1Gbps connection, mind you).
There's some network connectivity issues with the updates server it seems. But more than that, there seems to be an odd problem stopping updates propagating over here, which I'm going to see if I can fix. Sorry for the delay.
