    Default IMPORTANT - repman et al: Filefront is shutting down 30th march!

    Just an important heads up: heard of this on other forums, seems its very real and *not* an april fools joke - filefront.com is shutting down as of march 30th:

    http://farewell.filefront.com/

    http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=356443

    http://www.ziffdavis.com/press/releases/080305.0.html

    This is very sad since it was one of the best sites to host, it had decent speeds and little to no wait time - and most important no spammy advertising... sadly this might be the reason they are shutting down

    Since DLV hosts most of its files on FF, it would be about time to find another solution it seems...

    Repman & co: have you considered using gameupdates to host a torrent?
    http://www.gameupdates.org/

    They seem to be very good and fast, excellent for game stuff of course, and they have their own highspeed seeders that will keep seeding stuff even if noone else is downloading. (I dont work for them btw)

    The Danes, I swear, with their half arsed attempts at a 'war'. You gotta give it to 'em, they just dont stop trying. Listen, I've fought the Timurids, ever heard of them? Elephants with cannons on their backs. Yea, Timurids. You guys are like kids on tricycles compared to them. -REZ

    Sad day indeed - was it the low income really? or were they expecting Google to buy them out one day and realise now it will not happen!

    Up to 100MB per file unless you pay a premium which costs more than Filefronts fee
