Wupload is gone!

igenther99 · 04-02-12 at 02:48 PM

I was recently downloading some files on wupload, and on one I recieved this alarming notice: Wupload does not allow files to be shared. We are a STORAGE ONLY product so you can only download your own files.

If you have uploaded this file yourself, login first in order to download it.

Oh well, I kinda hated Wupload's bandwidth...
Just my opinion, I think mediafire is like the new Megaupload...

miamurder1 · 04-02-12 at 03:04 PM

It was only a matter of time...Personally, WUpload was crap in my view...It was like what fileserve used to be so I never used it...Still have mediafire and others

WUpload is being targeted by the MPAA. WUpload is doing what Fileserve is doing right now too.

Code: Select All

%$#@&*

so wupload is

It was great while it lasted. As a free user, it was one of my go to sites for the past 2 months for tv show web dls. now have to look elsewhere. (mediafire etc). At this rate by next year we won't have any site to turn to for "Free' at a good bandwidth speed. Maybe by next year only 30kb/s will be the norm for all poor free users.

I can live with those speeds, better than nothing (for free). I'm afraid mf is next since it is listed in the article you cited. I use that for everything, small games, comics, shows, movies. It will be sorely missed if it's next.

They have a list! *Queue Beethoven's fifth*

Is it just a myth that Wupload is the same company as one of the other hosts that recently stopped their sharing facility? If it is I can understand why they have gone this route because you cannot have one site allowing sharing and another not if you are trying to show you are a legit company.

Same owner as Filesonic.
Yeah, it's a bit odd that sharing (on Wupload) remained open for quite some time after Filesonic chickened out.
God knows what thought process if any is at work.

Wupload was shit anyway.

GSF4life · 04-02-12 at 04:56 PM

I liked Wupload because of the resumable download function for free users. Even though they had reCAPTCHAs the speed was decent.

**OneTiger64** · 04-02-12 at 05:11 PM

and another premium bites the dust.....oh well, I was one of the unfortunate few who bought it right before they started their downward spiral. Hmm.......so thats.....let's see....MU, Filesonic, Fileserve, AND Wupload premium accounts all closed w/ no warning or recompense *sigh* all those dollars and gigabytes :-/
