Retention on good usenet services are up to over 1500 days, and the costs are down around 11 dollars per month for lightning fast unlimited downloads (see Astraweb usenet service, for example). This seems like a plausible workaround for the horrendous file-locker situation.oowawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052955297149784108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-26096807305652356192012-12-04T12:42:49.549-08:002012-12-04T12:42:49.549-08:00the only decent storage locker i've found in t...the only decent storage locker i've found in the wake of megaupload is adrive. they grant free users up to 50gb (or at least they did earlier this year) w/ amazing customer service (fer a free acct, no less) & their premium rates seem extremely reasonable. content is stored on their servers indefinitely + they've never deleted nuffin o mines. i dont recommend em lightly. other words, i highly recommend lookin into em: adrive.com<br />we're owl slaves to shite we hate, but crapidshare dont need to be one of em. just sayin. this could be a major game-charger fer ya. stay looseøשlqædahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659865993865504888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-203593111274264742012-12-04T10:26:17.249-08:002012-12-04T10:26:17.249-08:00Try FTP...either way, you guys are amazing.

I have just sent the below email to these wankers:<br /><br />I have been a paying user of Rapidshare for the past 5 years and have got to say that your decision to limit the number of files that can be downloaded in a 24 hour period from a paid account is absolutely the last straw where using your service is concerned. I use your service to download long-deleted music from sites like Mutant Sounds, have watched in annoyance as you have indiscriminately removed files from such customer's accounts, and am now furious that you show the same level of disrespect to customers who pay to download from you.<br /><br /><br />My latest subscription to your service lapses in two weeks and will not be renewed. You are no longer providing what I consider to be a service and so you will no longer receive money from people who have in the past supported you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-2045997202049721002012-11-28T05:09:39.948-08:002012-11-28T05:09:39.948-08:00Mediafire arbitrarily deletes files constantly, so...Mediafire arbitrarily deletes files constantly, so they're to be discounted out of hand and I'd advise any newbie to avoid them like syphilis.<br /><br />from The Rise And Fall Of The Obscure Music Download Blog: A Roundtable<br /><br /><br />completement d'accortAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-52792527809048619362012-11-27T21:09:57.611-08:002012-11-27T21:09:57.611-08:00Once again, your persistence and relentless hard w...Once again, your persistence and relentless hard work in the face of a series of major obstacles that would have vanquished others is noted and appreciated!DanPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229247640809721650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262584283674109553.post-55766361741140913642012-11-27T18:51:39.716-08:002012-11-27T18:51:39.716-08:00I love your blog, but am afraid I don't know h...I love your blog, but am afraid I don't know how to help you..<br />I don't know how to make .rar files, I don't have a blog, and I don't know if I could have the time to learn....<br />Just know your blog has been an immensely important part of my music experience.
