Correct as a lot of these "quick" upload direct and download is so full of crap these days. One I used to use a lot is filedropper, I wonder if it even still exists or even turned to sh*t itself...
Welcome to spam for quick cash lol ....

The videos I have been downloading from direct download sites and releasing on BitTorrent are from Bopping Babes.
They are the highest quality erotica videos I've ever seen. Most of them are in 4K, and around 700 MB large. My monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080, so I can't view them in 4K, but I have been releasing them that way so other people can.
Some of them are uploaded in two-part RAR files. With those, you can download them faster by downloading both parts at the same time. You have to use proxies to do this, because direct download sites don't allow multiple downloads from an IP address at the same time.
With the ones uploaded in two parts, it takes about 2 hours to download them. With the ones uploaded in one part, it takes about 4 hours.
Two of them were in 1080p, and between 200 and 300 MB large. But it still took about 4 hours to download them -- because they were on a different direct download site that was even slower. Those were in WMV, which I don't want to release them in, so I converted them to MKV, with VP9 and FLAC. The file size was much larger (about the same size as the 4K ones), because I re-encoded them at a high bitrate to minimize loss in quality. With the other videos, I converted them to MKV, but copied the streams without re-encoding them.
Now that I've released them on BitTorrent, they can be downloaded in about 10 minutes.

I almost forgot how you had to dowload a game in 30 zip files. It was so annoying...

Most people I know use Zippyshare now instead of rapidshare.

All the files I get from direct download are easily downloadable, but you might have spend extra time downloading each one. However, it doesn't annoy me since it's all free.
I found a lot of great stuff that wasn't available thru p2p. Just use a program like Jdownloader and it's all pretty much automated. Too bad it's changed.

Mipony is good, especially on sites like Puzo, filled with idjits who want to get rich spamming for swarmy file sites, while ignoring the sites own file service.
Rapidshare represented the worst of tryong to make money off warez. Mega was second in line, with KimDotCom at least giving a tiny s4it for the community, though it was obvious from the start he was all about $money$. What was done to him, however, was,is, and will always be WRONG.

I miss the good old days when you didn't need torrents and a good file host was enough. Now days these file hosts have full time anti-piracy teams. On a good note I had to learn how to use p2p, learned a lot of privacy and security skills, and piracy is now much faster, mostly ad-free, and works great!

I remember rapidshare and mediafire, then slamming a fist on my keyboard because of the slow dl's from them, and the aids they contained.
