Thanks to the fact that Rapidshare's downloads expire after a set amount of time (in addition to several other factors that place it in a negative light), I am forced to declare that, in the future, users should not use Rapidshare to upload resources. If you need webspace to upload a file, there are a few good alternatives like http://www.tripod.com (just remember: you need to have an index.html page, or else they'll delete your site).

ADDENDUM: Mooload is also now on the Do Not Use list, due to extremely poor download speeds, reliability, and accessibility.

i thought it was something about spyware and the likes of that.

I enacted this due to the inconvenience experienced by some users wishing to download old resources and mods.

Mooload is another good hosting place.

Zshare is also good place!

what about Gigeshare, Sendspace and Megaupload?

If the service deletes files after a period of inactivity, then don't use them.

This just in: Mooload exploded. All files that were uploaded were lost.

Shit.

you could always sign up for an account at http://www.box.net they offer 1GB of free webspace with no ads, and you can make your files public. I use it, and its pretty good

Wasn't the Armory hosted there?

The Armory was hosted at box43.net, which is a hosting service provided out of the good nature of apage43 to people he knows. It is in no way related to box.net.

Heh, ok.

I would like to make a suggestion as well -- could Mooload possibly be added to the blacklist? It seems to have a rather nasty habit of corrupting files and its download speeds almost make dialup look fast. Unfortunately, I cannot think of another decent host besides Hyperupload.com, and it poses its own problems as well -- dropping the file extensions of nearly everything uploaded.

Can anyone else think of a suitable replacement?

Plus Mooload sometimes saves .wads in ASCII form, IIRC.
