Emule mobile users looking for ✨highID✨

[thecyanray]

I've seen you and Deadman mostly use MEGA, I also see that you've used uloz before, Dave uses 1ficher, Ghost seems to use Pixeldrain, I've even seen someone use the Archive. Subtitles seem to be uploaded directly onto here.

So I guess we really do have quite a healthy range, from what I've seen so far. The thing with MEGA is that your files can get removed if you don't login for X amount of months, or something like that. But yeah, I won't be able to share using eMule until I move out for university next year, so I guess I'll have to test out the best platform to upload to.

The developer of the Mule on Android app actually has a GitHub page for the project, it says:

If you know Java/C++, Android or Java for Android, use eMule or simply would like help project - welcome

So I might actually be able to help them develop this feature, after going into the nitty gritty details of how files are shared on the Mule.

On a brighter note: I've tested to see how the app holds up with mobile data, I still got great transfer speeds (400KB/s with two sources). So I guess we can "Mule on the go"

Some of the sharing sites that HAVE been used here changed their policies or no longer exist, so the links are dead.

Ulozto no longer does public sharing, so it is useless here.
Zippyshare no longer exists.

Yes, subtitles are small enough to post as an attachment and be stored in FLM's own storage space, not a third-party site. They should remain available as long as FLM exists. Multiple subtitles for one movie can be posted as a single ZIP file.

The thing with MEGA is that your files can get removed if you don't login for X amount of months, or something like that.

I have not heard that. My older files are definitely at risk if true because I never log in after the account is full! Deadman if you are reading can you verify? Does anyone else have information on this? Of course no one can rely on material online to last forever unless it is embarrassing or detrimental to one's wellbeing and safety. Sites that rely on sharing by direct-download will reshare with new links when the old ones are reported to be dead. Resharing by eMule is easier because it only requires moving a file to a shared folder. The trade-off is that the sharer needs to be online for an extended period of time.

As far as "testing" upload sites, I suggest doing that only as you have content to share. If you do not like one of the sites then just use a different one for the next file you want to share.

So I might actually be able to help them develop this feature, after going into the nitty gritty details of how files are shared on the Mule.

Aha, you are a coder! I guess that it is no surprise then that you figured out eMule with such apparent ease.

Glad you had success and hope you enjoy the movies you find here!

If you don’t log in at least once in three months, your account is considered inactive and we will send you warning emails to let you know that your account is now considered inactive and your data will be eligible for deletion if you don’t log back in.

My experience is that MEGA hasn't (so far) been strict with their enforcement. Some sites say 30 days with no downloads and they mean 30 days, zero seconds, the link goes dead. MEGA doesn't work that way. They seem to do periodic purges and if you haven't logged in for a long time when they do one, your files get deleted. Interestingly enough they don't close your account. It's just empty when you sign in. I've had a number of old links go inactive - probably because I have a bunch of free accounts and forgot to log in to one or more of them. Some of the fake email addresses I used to start them have been deleted, due to being used for that one purpose and abandoned, so I don't get the warning emails they might be sending.

By the way, if you encounter dead MEGA links on any of my posts let me know. It might be a while before I notice on my own. Either leave a reply in the thread or PM me.

Thank you deadman for the info from an experienced MEGA user. I will NEVER notice dead links from my own abandoned accounts unless someone tells me. Just like deadman, anyone is welcome to ask me for a reshare of any of my own dead links. I should still have the files.

MEGA might become suspicious if the same IP address logs in to a few dozen separate accounts in the space of a few minutes every few months. Then the accounts just MIGHT get deleted en masse. I figure it is better to stay silent and do nothing.

If they were going to waste time monitoring that closely, they would probably just restrict free accounts to the point of being barely usable in order to entice people to sign up for premium. Quicker, easier, involves no staff time. Besides I've been doing that for years and nothing's come of it. I have an account list and go down about 40 of them logging in, signing out, logging into the next one, and they're all still there. Just like MEGA isn't a bunch of copyright Nazis. They give you the warning, blah blah blah, click "I understand" and go on about your business. They only respond to rightsholder complains by deleting those specific files. I've rarely seen even that much happen, and my accounts are never penalized or shut down. They're doing exactly as much as they have to in order to avoid DMCA liability - and not going one inch further.

At some point I expect they're going to go full cheapo on us, or disappear without warning one day with all the links dead. For now they're just about the only host that allows fast free downloads and doesn't delete files automatically after 30 days of inactivity. Enjoy it while you can!

Thoughts on Pixeldrain? I noticed that ghost uses it. I uploaded a file onto there today, it was pretty fast. The free plan will only remove content four months after the last view! Max file size is 20gb. No storage limit. Is there some sort of catch...?

Computer monitoring of logins is the only possible way to do it, and the only staff involved is the software programmers who would set it up to do the monitoring and account removal. Those are the people who had to have created the site in the first place! They COULD do it with software if they really wanted to, but I am probably just paranoid that they WOULD. Your own routine maintenance logins are far beyond what I could force myself to do. I understand and appreciate your reassurances that MEGA's public statements and policies are really just "blah blah blah" and not a cause for concern.

Auto takedowns and account removals are a dispute resolution nightmare. Your system will get things wrong frequently, other people will claim it got things wrong even if it didn't, your staff will be constantly dealing with tickets from outraged users. The only solution is either not doing this sort of thing in the first place or making your company unreachable - anyone with an issue can read the FAQ, go round and round on the automated help page, then go pound sand because there's no contact email or phone number to be found.

I rarely do that account list all at once. Five logins a day gets the job done in just over a week. I'm in the process of going through all my postings, converting the preview grid to on-site photo storage, getting rid of zippyshare and replacing dead MEGA links. I don't even work on it every day. Probably take me until next spring to finish. That's how you get through big account maintenance tasks, a marathon not a sprint.

Pixeldrain works too. If MEGA went belly up that's probably what I would start using. But as long as I log into my collection of free accounts files are never deleted for inactivity so for now I'll stick with MEGA.

As long as you have a VPN and can switch connections, you can download big files from pixeldrain at high speed. The downloads are fully resumable if you use a download manager. Just hit Stop, change servers, and start 'er up again every time you hit that 6 GB limit. You can keep downloading on the same server after you hit that limit. The transfer doesn't halt. It just slows down considerably. If you don't use a VPN, that's what you're stuck with: 6 GB fast, followed by 24 hours of slow.

[Night457]

Pixeldrain is great and the downloads are VERY VERY fast. My personal experience was slower uploads for larger files or a large movie in multiple parts, but clearly others do not have that problem.

EDIT: I see deadman more fully addressed the following while my Post Editor was sitting open.

The "catch" is there is a daily download quota that can be defeated by switching a VPN server for those who have one. Or just recognize that a person can only watch so many movies in one day, and wait for the next day. MEGA also has a download quota.
