File Hosting Help
Q. What is the maximum allowed file size?
A. 1000 Megabytes (1048576000 bytes to be precise)
We encourage users to upload smaller files when possible, it makes it easier for downloaders on slow connections.
When uploading more than one file, the limit is per file, not the total for multiple files.
Q. How many files can I upload?
A. As many as you want :)
Q. Are there any download limits?
A. Our bandwidth is shared between all users on first come first serve basis, things might be slower at peak times.
Registered users are given priority over users who are not logged in.
Download accelerators such as FlashGet are allowed if you wish to pause and resume! but may be limited to few concurrent connecitons per user.
Currently all the file servers are in Netherlands, users closer to the servers should get faster speeds, in theory.
Each Download Ticket expires after 24 hours.
reCaptcha challenge might be shown if multiple downloads are detected in short time in order to prevent abuse of the service, sorry :(
* premium users get direct download, no ads or reCaptcha
Q. Can I resume downloads?
A. Yes.
Q. How long are the uploaded files kept on the system?
A. Provided the file is not breaking our terms of service or the copyright policy then the file is auto removed:
* files uploaded by guest users
o 1 month after last download for files under 100MB in size
o 1 week after last download for files larger than 100MB.
* files uploaded by registered users
o 12 months after last download for files under 50MB in size
o 8 months after last download for files between 50MB and 100MB
o 4 months after last download for files between 100MB and 300MB
o 2 months after last download for files between 300MB and 600MB
o 1 month after last download for files larger than 600MB.
* files uploaded by premium users
o excluded from expiry
As you can see the system is setup to encourage users to register and to encourage them to split large files, making life easier for downloaders.

A. No you don't have to install anything to be able to use this site unlike other filehosting site who force toolbars or spyware on their users.
