so in the Cargo forums, is there a decided upon alternative to MegaUpload now? There's a whole truck load of dead links just chillin over there now thanks to the Fed's shannanigans.

Please either bump or post a request for threads that have dead links.

Here are the MF preferred alternatives.

http://mediafire.com
http://adrive.com

Adrive is optimal because of speed and size - up to 2gb. Even though adrive links go inactive after around two weeks to a month, the link can be reactivated without uploading. You can test it by watching the Avengers DVDRip.

Yeah, I won't be holding my breathe on that one.

I've found, aside from aDrive, Upload.to, Rapidgator and extrabit are fairly reliable now. For smaller files, mediafire and zippyshare are nice.

This is an old announcement but I feel needs to be posted given recent revelations. Kim Dotcom presents MEGA:

Yeah, I think I'm going to let Me.ga have a good 6-12 months before I tried using anything it has.

MEGA is launching tomorrow. The genius of this is that files are encrypted locally before being sent to their servers which essentially absolves the company. It will be quite interesting how this plays out.
Free sign-ups will reportedly include 50GB (or ten bluray rips) of storage space.

And a free wire-tap, and ip sniff with every upload.
