Which do you prefer? Which do you think is better? Which has more speed?

Tell us what you think of it and tell us if speed is dependent on location, cause' I don't know ^^;

Please post comments.

I have equal speed for both, but megaupload is preference by me, since I use it all the time. Megaupload Free Premium is also a huge bonus for just a small, harmless toolbar.

In general I use Torrent. ^^

I voted for Megaupload but I have to admit that I never used Mediafire before. So I don't know if you want to count my vote. ^^

Me and torrents + speed = 0.

Not really, but I get usually 30kbp/s and that's horrid. My upload speed is horrid as well. I enabled ports and everything too D: uTorrent just doesn't like me.

It's preferable that you try both, since this is a poll of comparison, but that's alright. As long as it isn't just some random vote XD

30kb/s are far more than I have. XD

I didn't vote without thinking.
-I don't know anybody who is using Mediafire.
-The people I know use Megaupload for big files and Rapidshare for small ones.
-Megaupload seem's to be more popular than Mediafire.

I can't say if Megaupload is better than Mediafire but I simply never used it.
I will try Mediafire when i'm back home, but I don't believe it will change my vote. ^^

Hehe, I've been getting a few complaints from fellow mIRC members that Mediafire is slow. But someone on the forums suggested it, so depending on this poll, Mediafire will either be added or kept away.

I see Megaupload as everything you've just said, but the only problem is that there's a limit to how much you can download. Megaupload toolbar counters that and allows you to have Premium Membership for a limited amount of time, same time, everyday. Within reason as well.

Note: If 30kbp/s is more than you have, why do you use it regularly? XD Find the DDL links. or find an mIRC bot

You can add Mediafire if it can help other people but I wouldn't replace Megaupload. ^^

p.s. 30kb/s is only if I download really large files. If it's only one episode I get much more like 150kb/s and even sometimes over 500kb/s ^^

Hmm... I guess I'll try adding Mediafire and see how things go down.

I'll keep this up as just a regular poll XD

Bleeeh... Uploading is such a drag D:

Last time I used something other than Megaupload, it crashed my computer XD

If you have uTorrent issues, try using Mods by others, a safe and useful one is a half.open modification (mines set to 50, but most non-modified users are stuck at 8 )! greatly increases ones download speed, (i go about 180kbps) . You may also need to modify your global connection number and maximum connections per a torrent. Also having a good amount of trackers is also a good idea .

Note: the half.open modification is safe, however if you dont have proper protection, virus' which use 'open half open ports' to connect to others to spread themselves? or so i've heard.

The only problem with Megaupload is that you have to wait 45 secs before downloading, and that you can only download 1 thing at a time, but its definitely the faster than Mediafire for me....

Hey evassive ? is there a multi account options for megaupload? if we all chip in, we could all access and downloads.. though it might be a bad idea... people (very evol ones ) could just take that password for their own evil purposes, perhaps theres a business option, where people can be given set privileges such as downloading and uploading only .

Yeah I can't see that turning out too well >_>...

EDIT: And apparently they monitor who access each account and they disable accounts that are used by multiple people...

Im sure there are hosting/servers which you buy an account, host as much as you want, and people can keep on downloading as much as they want (sounds a bit too good, but im sure there are similar)

P.S. Im off to school now <3 minaiiii, saiyonara XD? bye everyone anyways ! see you in 6 hours

IRC bots: 100kb/s - 1.25mb/s
Torrents: 20kb/s - 450kb/s
Megaupload: 175kb/s - 500kb/s
Mediafire: 30kb/s - 400kb/s

Obviously, if IIDX had an IRC channel, I'd be happy as a terrorist with a fifty-megaton missile.

I only get a decent speed on torrents if I manage to catch it within three or four days after the file is released, so I rely on MegaUpload a lot. I've only used Mediafire a couple times, but I wasn't impressed. MegaUpload > RapidShare > Mediafire > SendSpace

Omgosh Zure... and how abouts are we gonna get an IR channel = =?

Now, no need to be rude Ren-kun. He's just saying that mIRC has extremely high speeds and would be extremely happy if we had a channel. We don't and unless someone offers us some decent bots, we will never have one.

Getting an IRC channel is no problem. The bots to supply the downloads is a huge problem. Not only do they cost money, but if they're not efficient, then they're not even worth buying.

Says the person who is just guessing this, but I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. It usually runs that way with things that most people like.
