    Not sure if this should be here of General, but wth.

    I've been a member a few days now, and am getting really frustrated with people hosting files on megaupload and rapidshare. For me, megaupload NEVER shows a link to actually dl. the item from, and rapidshare makes me wait over 30mins just to tell me the 'download ticket failed' or 'was not valid' or something like that. Whereas the other hoster, Filefront, works every time, works well, and fast, has a nice user interface and is actually one of the better I've seen. So why is it the least used?

    Can someone either give me help dl.ing from rapidshare/megaupload or help me start a campaign to have filefront the only allowed one (lol :rofl: )

    I use Firefox and have T1 if that helps anyone...I've seen some say megaupload only works with 56k or 512k dial up...

    Hmm. This should probably go in General. However, I do find both of those hosts quite annoying. Wait times, dl tickets, ridiculous ammounts of ads... all that jazz.

    thats the phrase I was looking for: download ticket. They never work for me, it always says there is an error with my ticket :blink:

    Megaload, when you clikc the link for it to dl somthing. At the very top it will tell you to inter letters. Enter the letters to download what ever. It took me a while too. :)

    yeah, I know that, ty, but every time I put in the letters it says 'Your IP has downloaded 'x' number of kilobytes, please wait' and after I have waited it just keeps saying it, its frustrating and never gets me anywhere. Filefront you just click the button, wait upto 5secs and then hit save, thats it, really easy and works every time.
