Since last night, I cannot upload files to multiupload.

^^^^ Yep, MultiUpload seems to be struggling a bit today. I can access the site, but it's slow. And as for uploading, I'm in the same boat as you Quiquem's. It just won't initialise.

I guess all those Megaupload customers are switching over and clogging up the system. I Will just have to wait and see if it improves any. As it is the weekend when internet traffic is at it's peak.

Seems we just can't win at present.

I've not used this site before but it might be worth a look http://www.mirrorcreator.com

the MU owners shot themself in the foot though by apparently racketeering and gaining around $175mil. Itd be a different story if the Gov just closed down megaupload because they "assumed" people were sharing illegal content.

That's ture enough. But until that's proven, I'll not comment on their guilt or inocence. I just don't think that the way it was closed down was right. Probably 98% of all business conducted through them was ligitimate and legal. So why should we have to pay for someone elses mistakes.

They could have kept the sites open and put in measures to allow the customers time to recover their own files. It would have been simple enough to do, by blocking all uploads, so no new content could be stored. And only allow you download files from your own account.

A lot of people put a lot of work into those files. Just to have them discarded at the whim of a so called super power.

Anyway, rant over.

Ace I'd say the 98% is the other way round, all hosts sites are they've always been used for piracy, it's what made them popular

well their lawyer is the same that represented Bill Clinton in the Lewinsky scandal among other big government cases. so this should be pretty entertaining.

Yeah well, that's probably true as well. Just wishful thinking on my part.

But if that is the case. Then all the more reason for the forum to have it's own video hosting site. So it's members can store the babe channel recording on it.

I know, I'm at it again with the wishful thinking.

Anyway, I might as well go out tonight. As it doesn't look like Multiupload is going to allow me access either tonight. So I can't upload any new content, or re-upload any old content. So I may as well go and down a few.

Yes the files still exist and will be kept, as the FBI will probably pore through all Megaupload files looking for evidence that helps their case. Let's hope they appreciate the babe channel vids.
