I've spent some time to research and compile this list. Megaupload was one of the best file hosting sites, fast speeds, unlimited downloads during happy hours, large storage limits, etc. I made a list of real alternatives to megaupload. Only sites with minimal restrictions for downloading, large storage limits, and high popularity/reliability are listed here. The Alexa rank for those who are unfamiliar, is an indicator of how popular a site is, I included it to distinguish the popular/reliable sites from new unproven sites. http://jumbofiles.com Benefits: 500GB storage space, unlimited parallel downloads, can resume broken downloads, download accelerator support Restrictions: 1GB file size limit Other positives: No CAPTCHA, no timer, remote http upload, FTP upload Alexa rank: (4977) friend introduced me to this site last month, great features, still using them today. http://fileflyer.com Benefits: Unlimited storage space Restrictions: 2GB file size, no file manager, only 1 download at a time (no parallel downloading) Other positives: No CAPTCHA, no timer Alexa rank: (22513) not as popular as the other sites here but they are seemingly owned by makers of the popular Download Accelerator Plus. http://2shared.com Benefits: Unlimited parallel downloads, can resume broken downloads, download accelerator support Restrictions: 1GB file size limit, no file manager Other positives: No CAPTCHA, no timer, can search files Alexa rank: (3397) I love being able to search the files at this site and you can "watch" what files are being downloaded. http://zshare.net Benefits: Unlimited storage space Restrictions: 1GB file size limit, 50 seconds timer, only 1 download at a time, download accelerator support Other positives: No CAPTCHA, no timer Alexa rank: (1947) one of the oldest file hosting sites online since 2005, still using them today. http://ifile.it Benefits: Unlimited storage space, up to 2 parallel downloads, can resume broken downloads Restrictions: 300MB file size limit, have to enter ReCAPTCHA to download Other positives: No timer Alexa rank: (2594) got a nice file manager, I don't use them that much now after they started requiring ReCAPTCHA to download. http://sendspace.com Benefits: Unlimited storage space Restrictions: 500MB file size limit, only 1 download at a time Other positives: No CAPTCHA, no timer Alexa rank: (1385) downloads are limited and slow but they have Android and iPhone apps available for their site. http://mediafire.com Benefits: Unlimited storage space, unlimited parallel downloads, can resume broken downloads, download accelerator support Restrictions: 200MB file size limit Other positives: Fast downloads, I can max out my 6mbps DSL! Alexa rank: (67) the next biggest file hosting site after megaupload, very popular and trusted by many users around the world, I upload to here regularly. If you know of any other file hosting site with below 5000 Alexa ranking, minimal download restrictions, and large storage space, let me know so I can update this list. Real alternatives only, not sites like rapidshare with 5 minute timers and hours of wait time between downloads.
