One of the things that baffles and the reason I was most suspicious of these is how the f do they turn a profit. Not even Ublock finds anything. Kinda like AT ;).

At least AT specifies it's run out of pocket by admin.

Well, it works if thats what you're asking. But no, it's just one more of the clones I found of defunct file hosts. Surprising how fast they can spin these services up.

They are, check previous feedback page.

Well, it works, its fast, the dl file is the same as the one uploaded (binary).
As to who is behind it, if it will stay the way it is now and so on .... who knows.

HahA is this legit ?

I thought someone trying to steal the zippy name because it was closing the service.

Would be nice to filter out/in posts that have been posted to usenet.

If by some miracle whoever is behind this is reading the AT feedback page, can we get a clone for solidfiles? it's really easy too, solidfil.es. Thanks!

https://zippysha.re/ . Lmao, stahp! it's not even dead yet, holy shit.

does animetosho have a search engine plugin for qbittorent if there isn't one will there ever be one

Cmon man,  no one uses 1filchier this day and age

This Mdia Load seems good. I will work with it more to know if it's as good as my other file hosting site which recently have had some problems. Download and upload speeds seem good.
Thanks for the share.

You still don't know that MS has switched to Chromium in the new Edge?! 0.o It means like Brave, it's even better than Google Chrome.

Woosh! You must be new to the internets. Internet exploder might be before your time. Using edge is almost the same thing though lol

Yeah, it's a joke. People above are already discussing possible replacements for like a week.

Looks like a good option so far. Thanks.👍

There's also a simple python download script, that works fine.🎉
https://github.com/ltsdw/gofile-downloader

I've added this an GoFile (does duplicate MultiUp) to see how it goes.
I'll remove Zippyshare in a few days.

Thanks for the suggestions.
The script should be able to select the hosts on MultiUp, but it might be broken now. I don't particularly like the idea of uploading twice, as it's like trying to get around limits they've imposed.

Exactly. all of them are clones of anonfiles, the owners of anonfiles selves.

New Bayfiles and openload actually owner of anonfiles. Real bayfiles and openload owner have been thrown in jail long ago.

0.o
No IE here! I use Edge on Windows 10!

[spam]

Because its old news from the net?
But yeah, we do discuss that for nearly 6 days now and well ... no one did link https://blog.zippyshare.com/ , thats true, but I guess all did visit zippy or other sources and read for themselves.

Someone still using internet explorer I see.

Zippyshare Announcement
Information about the closure of the project
March 19, 2023
Hey Folks,

We’ve decided that we’re shutting down the project at the end of the month. Please make backups of your important files, you have about two weeks to do so. Until then, the site will run without any changes.

There are several reasons for the closure:

– Since 2006 we have been on the market in an unchanged form, that is, as ad financed/free file hosting. However, you have been visiting in less and less over the years, as the arguably very simple formula of the services we offer is slowly running out of steam. I guess all the competing file storage service companies on the market look better, offer better performance and more features. No one needs a dinosaur like us anymore.

– All sorts of adblockers, whether built into the browser, as add-ons, or in the form of DNS services. Sure, we all use them, but they take away any control the site owner has over the site. Eventually we get to the point where a vicious cycle begins, in order to pay for the server infrastructure you are forced to place more and more ads, then users fire up more and more adblockers and we get to a point like today.

– Rising electricity prices. Over the past year, electricity prices have gone up 2.5 times, which, with a large number of servers, gives a significant increase in costs that we have no way to balance.

There are still a bunch of smaller reasons, but we could write a book on this, and probably no one would want to read it.

To sum it up, we can no longer afford to maintain the site.

You can send us any comments to (we’ll read them all, we’ll probably respond to just a few):
support@zippyshare.com

Thanks for being with us over the years.
See you in the depths of the Internet. o7

Redundacy maybe? It s trivial to implement. Just an idea to fill the void zippyshare will be leaving.
I think the multiup suggestion is better though.

Welp thats sad but if you want that much quality on your chinese cartoons that fast you're gonna have to pay it seems. Top size for a normal episode for me is under 300mb and with hevc/av1 can't really complain there.
Thanks for the info on pixeldrain. Might not have happened if there was some load balancing with another host like I sugested.

when you have anonfiles, why do you need anymore similar services?

                   THE CHANGING WORLD

[SubsPlease] 1080p 1.20GB episode (typical):
1.20GB = 1,200mb
Zippy @12mb/sec = 100sec, about 1.5 min per show
Anonfiles and many @ 500kb/sec = 2,400sec, about 40 min per show
----------------------------
12GB torrent:
Zippy @12mb/sec, about 15 min
Anonfiles and many @ 500kb/sec, about 6hrs 40 min
------------------------------
24GB torrent:
Zippy @12mb/sec, about 30 min
Anonfiles and many @ 500kb/sec, about 13 hour


p.s. pixeldrain and others had blocked AT's uploads after a few days/weeks, as I recall.

Same anon, but maybe you can use the spook hosters I mentioned above, there's a lot of them:

https://bayfiles.com/
https://openload.cc/
https://lolabits.se/
https://vshare.is/
https://rapidshare.nu/
https://hotfile.io/
https://share-online.is/
https://myfile.is/
https://megaupload.nz/
https://letsupload.cc/
https://upvid.cc/
https://filechan.org/
https://forumfiles.com/
https://file.bz/
https://upload.st/
https://uplovd.com/

Simple api, basically same upload script as anonfiles.Maybe some round robin/randomizer to pick a different host on each file upload. My only concern is them being a frontend for the same backend which animetosho would quickly give the hug of death.

Besides those there's pixeldrain and gofile.io which both have decent speeds and API. But the former was here before after being removed, don't remember why. and the latter is present on Multiup. Speaking of which, maybe upload the file twice to multiup but with different hosts? Is the script even capable of selecting different hosts? I see they're only the default.

I think Zippy shows that there can be no illusion of a working business model anymore so I'm not expecting any hot new finds.  I'd be happy to be wrong.

Of the current here right now for me,
Kraken: Speeds as good as Zippy, sometimes.  Finding those times is the trick.  Otherwise, maybe 1-2mb/sec.
DownloadGG: Pretty fast but they remove some files quick, presumably for rights.
ClickUpload: as you said.


Usenet, for any who don't know, is for those who are willing to use a credit card  and don't care about being anonymous.  I'm happy to have such folk around for the lawyers to feed on instead of looking for me.  I wouldn't recommend anyone give up the protections of being anonymous, but it's their life.

For me, it's 20 hours.  I let the last one run for several hours to be sure.  I expect it differs based on load, region and maybe how much they hate my type of ad-blocker.

20 min wouldn't be tempting for me either though.  I hope it never will be.

That is perfect!

Thank you so much!,
Onii-Chan

I saturate my entire bandwidth with usenet

That's pretty terrible. I wonder what a good replacement would be, I used to get 1GBit from zippyshare and it worked in parallel, very hassle free, the highest I can get from the rest is maybe clicknupload 1MB/s, while the others are clearly throttling non-paying users. Are there any alternatives that are as good and would fit the site's needs?

Thanks for the suggestion!

I added day separators to the list - does that help?

You can also hover your mouse over a torrent name to get the date it was added.

Unfortunately, there's currently no filter that can explicitly do that.
If you're ambitious, the database exports allow you to do filtering/searches in whatever way you please.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm a bit hesitant, due to it being handled by MultiUp, but I'll keep that in mind (I prefer to split files at a certain point to reduce the bandwidth cost if an upload fails or gets rejected).

Hi admin,

It’s been forever since I made a comment (and if I didn’t thank you way back, thanks for adding the year to the Series pages!)

On the Series Updates page (/animes) would it be possible to add some sort of date-time marker?

I use that page the most, but it’s hard to know when you’ve scrolled down into stuff you looked at prior to the reload.  It also means I tend to load Older Entries a lot because I can’t tell if I’m still in new additions.

If it’s even doable, whatever makes it easiest on you.

Thanks,

I just checked also, and the timer is actually 20 minutes and not 20 hours, but yeah, it still is a bit of an issue for AT.

Also, for my location in GMT-5 timezone, I got full download speeds, but I pay for 50Mbps to save a bit of money.

I didnt need to s.t. like that and I am not familiar with the shpinx search options, but try messing around. Well "S0?-E?? av1" didnt really do what's wanted but somewhat that direction probably.

How do I filter for folders. Like I'm looking for av1. But I want to see only multi-file torrents. Not all such batch torrents have batch in their titles. So what search words should I feed in the search box.

I just checked: after one download, it started a 20hr timer saying the download limit has been reached.  The one file, btw, was only 300mb and the speed was about 500k/sec, much slower than it used to be.

My problem with 1fichier has been it has only allowed 1 download per hour (or less) for free/anons.  If that has changed, great.  As it has been, it's been useless here.

I only looked at this one briefly but it seems as though https://1fichier.com/ might be a possible alternative.

You may not want to use it because multiup has it as one of their options, although the benefit of using it directly is they have a very high file size limit, "File size is limited to 300GB. Storage capacity is not limited." I'm not entirely sure if that 300GB file limit applies for guest uploaders though. Also, "Files can be removed after 15 days without downloads for guests," but that seems similar to what ZippyShare offered.

It's very possible there are a lot of redflags/dealbreakers, but I'm not super sure what specific criteria AnimeTosho requires, and I'm not at all versed in web/systems admin.

They have an API in beta. Although, I don't know if unregistered users have access.

That's quite unfortunate.
If there's any suitable alternative hosts, I can look at adding them.

Should they?

Happy New Year 2020 :)
