Hi Guys,
Not everyone is as fortunate as me to have a website with 40GB of storage. I've noticed that when people want to host a file (tools etc) they normally use Rapid share.
However, it is a very annoying site. You have to enter codes and wait for a while and other annoying things. Thunderwolf uses Mega upload but it is just as bad.
Has any one ever heard of MiHD.net? You DON'T have to enter a code, you DON'T have to wait and you get a faster download speed!!!
MiHD has no "premium" version, meaning that the only version available is the free one.
Here are it's advantages over rapid share and mega upload:
- No waiting
- No codes
- The max file size is 200MB!!! This is enormous compared to the others
- Pausing/resuming of files is allowed
- Download accelerators are allowed! (free download manager, etc)
- No self advertising ads (like mega upload has)
- Split archives are allowed (rapid share allows this too)
The only disadvantage I can see is they don't allow illegal stuff, but I don't think the other sites do either. (any way you can just encode it and they will never know)
So next time you want to host something, use MiHD.net, it will be far less annoying for people trying to download it.
If you know of another good place please post and say so.

hmm... that MiHD looks good, it uploads to ifile.it though, all the links are http://ifile.it/???

b.t.w. Does anyone know a decent (and free) website host? Yeah, I know, i'm asking for something impossible... I am currently using freewebs to host my site, but they have a max. file size of 750Kb, I also have a FreeHostia (500K) and funpic (1M), but since MissionBuilder's Setup is about 6 MB (now), I'd like a permanent host for it...

EDIT:::
I found a great free website host:
www.myhosting247.com
it has a 5 GB space, 20GB bandwith, up to 20 Mysql databases, NO banners and php, own domain or free subdomain, and a lot of extra features.

I personally use Megaupload when I need to upload something big as the max file size is a whopping 500 MB. It does seems like MiHD.net has it's advantages compared to Megaupload, but I never found the download speeds bad and writing a short codes is not that time consuming.
As for a free webhost, http://www.110mb.com/ is a quite good one (but 8mb file limit). 5GB space, 300GB bandwidth, no ads.

may sounds odd, but for small files I usually dump them on freewebs (tke site, download map)
big files as torrent

I also have (2) freewebs sites, their file-size limit is 750k, and max. number of files is 100. My brother has funpic, with 1 MB max-filesize.

Thunderwolf, each of my screenshots is over 1MB, but I host them on freewebs.. I don't know about this 750k limit, but they're not enforcing it anyway

I think that 750k limit is only for the first two weeks.

Maybe they have deleted that limit, it was there, but I haven't been on my freewebs sites for a pretty long time now...

I just don't get it why everyone is still using freewebs. I can't honestly see what there's in freewebs that you can't find anywhere else.
- 50MB storage limit
- Slow file downloading
- Forces freewebs add bar
- Does not allow direct linking
- Low filesize limit
- Max 50 files hosted
Can't see why people haven't moved to other hosts yet? Is there something about freewebs that I have never noticed?

When I signed up for it back then, there wasn't the freewebs bar, and there was 100 files hosted(I'm sure I have way more than 50 on my Old site). ? It doesn't allow direct linking? I've never heard of that one before.

Why freewebs? I don't really know either, but it's extremely easy to set up (if you don't have any knowledge of web sites), so I guess many people start with freewebs. I agree there are many other (better) hosts now.

Freewebs allows direct linking
Ok maybe they do not like it, but it's very well possible - I do it all the time

- no waiting time
- no abusive adds (only their own)
- easy if you have a freewebs site anyway

you shouldn't host big files anywhere anyway, just make a torrent (avoids corruption, can not be removed, if it's popular it'll be faster than any free host, etc)

I just found out that Myhosting247.com 's Filesize limit is 100MB! So any decent file can be hosted there.
