Funny thing, but only now i have realized that the site is practically empty.

we can definitely forget about MU and FileServe; FileSonic might come back in a few days, but still most of the posts and mirrors are dead.

this leads to a good question: wtf do we do now? :o))

i don't want to make a mess with mirrors and other stuff... after all about 20% of posts was dead anyway.

so it seems to me that the best thing to do is to start with a clean sheet.
some stuff will be lost forever, but most of it, i am sure, will be reuploaded in a month or so.

please vote in the poll.
i especially want to read our contributor's opinion.

UPD: unfortunately, i still do not have complete solution to this problem... neither my acquaintance who run much bigger web-sites.
although i can share some news with you:
1. lots of changes are coming; AudioZ will become much more secure, rules for uploaders will be very strict.
2. i'm working hard to make our small community better; my programmers almost finished service which will help us to keep posts alive longer and cause less problems to the site.
3. soon we'll have our own server for images, therefore uploaders won't have to use unstable Picture Hosters to share screenshots.
4. soon AudioZ will be moved to a new VDServer, which will grant you faster and more stable access.
5. old posts will not be removed, but i'll make it the way they won't bother you

like a lot of you already said, wait a few days (weeks) till the storm calms down.
now that most links are gone for good, i think it's a good idea to do a fresh start.
what about netload.in, it was reliable in the last years. but in many forums they don't like nl pretty much, dunno why!?
sharing won't die, only the way we share will change. it's progress
Give me a break!

we (pspfuntime and i) had put a filehoster list together u can find here ...
http://audiosex.pro/index.php?/topic/1698-hoster-checking/
and i have to say - it looks not great for filehosters ...
netload.in is germany/ germany as u can see in our list ...
i would say ifolder.ru - Office CZ and servers in russia ...
If you want to supply something, you can. PM is open for that.

Wait some days, things are moving now.
We should probably start from scratch in 10 days, something like that.
So, we must remember that each one of us should have at least one of the files that are now linked here. We can put all the stuff together, if we help each other.

rico88 's plan seem to be a very good plan.also file names could be like myfile**.rar or mydesktop**.rar or mypicture***.rar etc.

Hi, I'm pretty much a 'hit and runner' as i don't have anything new to upload, only stuff that has been posted here already.

But I think this kind of site needs to protect itself and the people who run it in the current climate, if that means passwords, hiding links until people have served a bit of time on the forums or whatever other approach is necessary then so be it. Even if it means i get thrown out.

In the mean time, it might not be the end of the world to start afresh, but i would maybe just keep your heads down for a few days perhaps, and see what happens with the file hosts. No point in you taking a stand for links which don't go anywhere.

People who were making money and sites that gave them that money for downloadable content that is not free to download are at fault. This has nothing to do with filesharing. Thats why file names were not "masked" at the first place. Name_of_the_movie_you_are_about_to_download.rar is the most stupid thing ever.

I don't think it's very useful that people think about HOW the site should be....The main problem is now: where to find suitable locations for the files. Making the site hermetic or "top secret" wouldn't retain spies from infiltration - just the opposite: they would be attracted more. But it's definitely NOT the end of the world, just a passage, a step into another chapter.

In the manner like veesteeklup is doing? But the NEW restrictions are hitting them too!!! That idea is too simplistic. People are asking for new channels where to store the files.

May I suggest that a "report broken link" buttons be added. If the final link goes dead reup or remove the page. Hiding links is a good idea but it is NOT a total solution.

I can see the problem from both sides as I am building up my own products to sell at what I consider to be a fair price, once a product has "paid for itself" then I plan to massively reduce in price or include free. Sadly I have yet to sell anything LOL but I will be selling on ebay when I have finished sampling my Roland JP-8080. I am concerned that my products will be pirated before they pay for themselves. I am considering sharing some stuff (own) via this site.

I couldn't tell you how long I have been coming to this site (and one other similar but more PC bias) and I had been using the newsgroups. Over the years I have learned much but because my bandwidth is so expensive I have been unable to up or download much. I am actually very involved in internet marketing and I can easily get any page of any site to the top of Google etc. for specific searches. Therefore I can tell EVERYONE that without sites such as this many businesses would simply fail. My pages have been on the front page of Google since I released a product and I decided to wait and see what happened before any other marketing and I have yet to make a sale. If I share some of my files (or even offer massive discounts to members of this site) I KNOW that, ultimately, this could lead to sales BUT it would also provide me with objective criticism which cannot be bought. It may be another month before I am ready to start sorting out what to share or I may even create something unique, I have lots to consider.

Maybe it is time to act upon some suggestions but also look at changing your business model. I have sites that share non music related stuff for free and I have not touched one for many years but it is still earning around $100 a month on banner adds. If you force membership before sharing links you will accumulate a huge list which has enormous value as it will be extremely niche specific.

If you think I can help in any way please contact me directly by using my membership details.

The Internet will change because it has to BUT business also needs to change and it still amazes me how little business understands the Internet. I repeat, without sites such as these some companies would simply fail.

SAiNT,

I agree with your assessment and have voted accordingly.

Reading through all of the comments, those who have suggested taking a 'wait and see' approach over the next few days/couple of weeks does have merit as no one knows what is going to finally shake out in the wash, so to speak in regards to all of this.

--Regards

i can host all files through ftp, and other methods, maybe even torrents
as a backup.

well the good news is nothing is lost ( filesonic ) site is saying All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.

If this file belongs to you, please login to download it directly from your file manager. so if you are the one that was the original uploader the can get the files back thats the good news wink

I know its been said already but. I feel everyone has to contribute no exclusions everyone has to contribute somethink to this site before hitting and running like so many of them do on here and that should help sort the dodgy people who shouldn`t be here if you get what I mean. You earn the right to gain access to download links it works for other sites so why cant it work here.


How about the people that prefer to be anonymous. Can you prove that they don't contribute?
