Thanks for the info. One thing I'd point out is that people seem to recommend qBittorrent over uTorrent, but if you have to go with uTorrent, the general recommendation is to stick to v2.2.1.
An advantage of file hosts is that VPN becomes less necessary. Another benefit is with users unable to receive incoming connections (e.g. connected via CGNAT), which hampers P2P transfers like torrents.
Uptobox's latest "X"/Twitter thread in French says that they're still working on restoring access to their raided servers... but dodged inquiries about that 2018 photo...
Now there's speculation that 1fichier might be next...
I guess it could be "unlimited" in a sense, as it doesn't mention daily limits. I've enabled it again, but with a size cap. I don't know how their daily limit is measured, so will have to resort to trial, but it doesn't seem to take much to reach it. With AT's volume, it's likely not that useful unfortunately.
not everyone can download off a torrent. My former ISP for example, blocks torrent almost completely. If I could somehow managed to conect to a peer, it's very slow that it would take years for a series batch to complete.
MirrorAce was good in the past but not anymore. Since a year ago I can't remote upload to it and every time the process fails. Right now MultiUp is the best of such services. And quite recently MultiUp.org has become MultiUp.io after many years.
In my case, I prefer Anime Tosho since we can post here or in torrent comments without needing an account. I've been trying to create an account on Nyaa since last year, but registrations are always "temporarily unavailable" :(
Thanks for the suggestion! There was a bit of resistance the last time it was asked, but seeing the lack of alternatives, I've decided to add it. Let's see how it turns out.
I will let you know if I come across any, but seeing the recent crackdowns I don't think there might be any possibility for any such service to be stable/ not taken down in a while.
Kek, googled it and it's true. Though correct, I find that acronym incredibly stupid. In any case, my point was when the too big to fail tech boys are tightening the belt you know SHTF. How's that for an acronym.

It's not FAANG anymore. MAMAA is the correct one currently, since Facebook has become Meta and Microsoft has become giant again and Netflix doesn't belong to Big Five anymore.
This year has been shit so far indeed, I fully empathize. My 2c is that a big economic recession is incoming, all FAANG companies canned people, and they're now tightening screws and using every trick in the book to get more money for their 'shareholders'. See YT, twitter, reddit and many more big player shenanigans. Wouldn't be surprised if the other sites you mention received cease and desist/gag orders as well. That coupled with the incoming recession.
Kinda worried about AT too, constant loss of actual upload endpoints is concerning. Admin runs everything out of pocked but if there's nowhere to put the actual files ...
Damn it! After losing ZippyShare, AnonFiles and RARBG this year, unfortunately it seems UptoBox is going down too âšī¸ đĄ It was a great host with long retention đ God damn those greedy, tyrannical Hollywood studios đ¤ đ¤Ŧ
thus they'll have to pay up in full pretty soon as its unsustainable to offer that much storage.
I'm not really a fan of coding up and maintaining support for a host, only to see it disappear in short time. It doesn't appear they've been around for that long either.
Do you have any suggestions on hosts that won't likely disappear in short order?

Next Boruto set 232-255 Dual Audio set to release November 14, 2023. They are getting slower and slower releasing these. Used to release every 2 months. Eventually went to 3 months and then the last one was like 4 months. Now 5 months. Oh well is what it is.
quoting a post from the thread i shared "^Qiwi and the other one you mentioned (Helurl) are just gravy trains imo. If you check their download endpoint and find the backend IP you'll see it uses object storage from cloudflare r2 and which; as everyone in the storage section knows; offers unlimited free egress and is their main selling point but the service in itself is pretty expensive for non-businesses thus they'll have to pay up in full pretty soon as its unsustainable to offer that much storage. The current business model doesn't give confidence that they'll last for long unless they set up big pricing or get backing from the mob. Also, offtopic info but I have had conversations with their dev team at the start of their service and they aren't from lithuania like their ToS hints at. Can't post a pvt mail on a public board but they are further to the west.
I sure hope that somehow they manage to stick around and stand good on their promise of unlimited hot storage but going to keep my expectations in check." After a while: "Maybe https://qiwi.gg/ can be added to the "Recommended upload sites:" now as it seems to be a bit more stable with upload tasks since last weekend. Also its becoming more prevalent amongst uploaders here already.
Qiwi seems to require an account to upload, and I can't tell how much space is offered (or find much information about them on a quick search). It doesn't look particularly appealing at this stage, unless you happen to have more info. Happy to hear other suggestions.
Thanks for the guide, idk if these will be able to fulfill all those criteria but here are (Recommended upload sites at: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=95461 ) some sites that may be a good replacement. There are some good ones that are not on that list and will require going through the forum, one such I found was https://qiwi.gg/ . Hope this was helpful
Would be glad if some new mirrors were added. Since now the popular one better UX ones are now dead! - zippyshare - anonfiles - go files have rate limits - kraken has speed fluctuations
