If i need to get a magazine ad, print worthy, to a printer I would upload to a service such as this. Decent ads are 20 -50 megabytes and I always work right up to a deadline. I've even used megaupload in the past. The printer just D/Ls the link. No post or courier times, instant, free, THE INTERNET!
That's why you get PAID to do that sort of stuff. I was hired to file things neatly.
The reason I would pay $15 a month isn't because the service is more convenient, but rather because it's legal.

It's a concise aggregate and I know my links won't break. I'd be fucked right off if they got shut down because Fox took offense to their logo being posted (and ridiculed).
DropBox, my brethren. We use it with our printer. However it's only 2GB (free).
It would help, certainly.But why pay a standing fee of $15 / month, when I could pirate something (perhaps our ideas of decent speed vary, but in the case of new releases - even without a seedbox, and not even on the most discrete scene trackers, I can still reliably download @ around 500-1000 kb/s most of the time) and have the data forever?My preferred device is my computer - so compatibility/format has never been an issue for me. Also, in having a newer pc in cases where I have reformatted media it's never been a tiresome or daunting task - quite the opposite. I'm all in favour of services like Netflix - in that aspect I agree with you OLWAG, but your rationale behind it seems flawed at best. The reason I would pay $15 a month isn't because the service is more convenient, but rather because it's legal.
You're doing it wrong. I don't pay for any premium accounts or use torrents. My above statement stands and is accurate, 15-20mins complete file downloaded. If you had a premium account with MU, all your files were stored for life afaik. Free accounts as long as they were being downloaded once over a certain period of time, the files were never erased. Ive had files up for months on a free account.
It's only a couple of gigs, stop having a spaz.
Hes clearly talking about the 1080p DTS rips, duh. Wasn't that clear by the use of the phrase, "movie".
Hes clearly talking about the 1080p DTS rips, duh. Wasn't that clear by the use of the phrase, "movie".Also places like MU took off, because torrenting (through proper sites) is just too complicated for a lot of people. I heard someone talking at work the other day, about how he doesn't use his 40gb bandwidth anymore, after torrenting got banned because of the new laws, and megaupload went down.
Bull$#@!, 15-20mins for a 1080 movie without using any torrents or paying for a premium account?

i had kinda hope speakman had died, what a pity
It could be a generational thing, perhaps older folks who remember dial-up are simply willing to be more patient and expect to stack up a few torrents before bed in order to watch them the following day.
^ yeah, pretty much.That and some fuckers don't know the glorious wonders of cable. Or how to shop around for an ISP that isn't slingshit.Oh, you're talking about super crap quality scene rips. Sorry, didn't realise you liked watching shit.
Who said anything about a 1080 movie? Did you just throw that in now because I told you I can get a movie in 15mins and you can't?1gb movie > 15mins4gb movie > 1hr20gb 1080 movie > 5hoursI never get 1080 movies as I have no issues watching "normal" quality, I have no requirements for HD. 43" TV in the lounge and only a 32" in my room 1gb for a movie is perfectly fine, and if I really feel the need for top quality 4gb is more than enough. So 2 days, yup you are doing it wrong.
you think 2+(you forgot the plus)Mbps is good, all of your arguments are invalid
Obsolete thinking, your precious, shouldn't be precious. Bandwidth is cheap and is getting cheaper, just have to push your ISP to get shit sorted.
So 2 days, yup you are doing it wrong.
1Gb is that a telesync? I'm assuming you have a small data cap and the HD isn't worth it to you? I spent moneyz on a new monitor and speakers for gaming and movies. I would also like to see how you manage to download 1gb in 15 minutes, most file sharing sites cap you to 200mb and make you wait 15 mins to download the next file.
Someone who knew what they were talking about would realise that:a) torrent speeds depend on the seeders to peer ratio, their upstream rates, and the rate you upload at (more so for large files);b) therefore, not all torrents will max out your downstream;c) and therefore, you are talking through your arse;d) mostly.
