What File Sharing Sites Do You Like/Dislike, and Why?
User experience with various file sharing sites varies greatly depending on whether you have an account there or not.
For example, I used to use Sendspace and liked it just fine. Then I stopped paying for an account, and what a difference! The site became cluttered and confusing, downloads take forever, and worst of all, only one concurrent download is allowed at a time. Ouch!
Megaupload used to be annoying what with the download delay wait, though I was able to cut the delay in half by signing up for a free account. Having became a premium member, though, which I did because they have a permanent account for $200--pricey initially, but it's FOREVER!--I don't even have to see the download page anymore because I've initiated automatic downloads: click on an MU link and the download starts on its own. Nice! Also nice is that they offer a download counter so you have an idea of the traffic your files are generating. On the downside, their tools only work on PCs, not Macs, so uploads are pretty slow.
What is your experience?
