They haven't even tried him yet, let alone sentenced him. And he's only facing 10 years for piracy and copyright infringement. The other 45 are for other charges like racketeering and money laundering ...

Step up and sign up, no more bitching.

I stopped my crying and signed on to Oron.

Works fine here in So Cal.

Should have switched when Hammervice did many months ago.
Been following his posts since GoogleGroups a long time ago.
Now I can go back and collect material I was too cheap to pay for.

The $10 didn't break my budget, but did stopped my bitching and moaning.

Maybe time for others to face the truth.
Before Oron gets erased too.

Hope for the best for those who have been collecting money or free subscription extensions in the past from these sites.
There in for a ration of shit, big time, I'm afraid.

Hmm what's the maximum download speed you are getting from LA? Their servers are in Netherlands so max would be about 1mb/s - is that what you are getting?

Btw its 20GB for 3 days Kevin.

 

[takeitall456]

Fileserve seems to be back today :? :thumbs up:

1.3 MB/sec Tonight

After signing up with a Credit card, not PayPal, it was a little slow.
The second day it ran a lot faster.

1.3 MB/sec is tonight's speed

Not as quick as Fileserve.
But sure glad we have an alternate to fall back on.
While they last.

ORON is very bad
1) it's not UNLIMITED as they advertise, there is a 20gb limit/3 days
2) you reach the limit very fast if you use a software like JDOWNLOADER because everytime you add a download into the list, even if it's on standby, it get on your 20gb credit.

i think i am going to FM

Found out about the 20000 MB three day limit the hard way.
Went over.



Had to wait for it to reset my account.
Better watch that in the future. :no:

Still glad I got off my ass, stopped moaning, and signed up with Oron.

^ Also be careful downloading with download managers with Oron - when you use like two threads to download a file, your bandwith is counted twice even if you downloaded just one file.

 

[takeitall456]

You rang?

Dunno why, but I was thinking about you indeed (great gif)

 

[mrpiz]

That download limit on Oron sucks big time. I used up 20gb in less than 2 hrs. And I was being selective in what I downloaded!

^ I'm somewhat glad I'm very picky in terms of my preferences.
