The Official "Let's bitch about VLC and File Hosts Thread"

[tycars]

No solution to my problem? Thought so. Thanks for proving my point.

There are others here that are obviously nicer than I am but seriously,with that post you made I wouldn't give you the time of day just because you're pompous...Gspat,you are too nice.

You must not be that bright. Um, you just gave me the time of day, which was CLEARLY not wanted or needed. My issue was resolved and I did not need your help. Fix the site and I won't have a reason to complain. Good day!

WOW, I got number 1, I go first.... No one else goes before me...

wait, where is everybody anyway?!?

[Kenny_Tha_Killa]

File hosts are a fucking joke. Figured when VLC was added things would get better but, alas, they got worse. Get a decent host for fucks sake.

[Kenny_Tha_Killa]

Since you asked so nicely, here's an excellent file host, just for you....

Really? I would really like to see anybody with complaints about this site, especially people that believe they are entitled to something for some fucked up reason, start a site that nearly compares to Icefilms. Seriously, what is about the internet that takes these normal people and turns them into a "it is my privilege" type of person? If you do not like it here, get the fuck out, do not come back. It really is that easy. It REALLY is that easy. Just remember kids, this is the only place in the public forum you can vent.

That was pretty much my point, asshat.

i've no idea if this is the right forum to bitch about sharebees, but honestly it's terrible. sharebees never streams consistently, one out of MAYBE every 20 links doesn't buffer every 20 frickin seconds. it's annoying, because there will be tv shows and / or movies, where the only NON RAPIDSHARE link is shitbees, please stop uploading sharebees links, in fact take it out of your fucking iqs. I love icefilms, however, i do not like watching a video and having it stop to buffer every 20 goddamn seconds.

i used to use rapidshare till you stoped posting links (yes i did vote to keep them)i did pay for the use but thought the download speeds were well worth paying for.
now that a lot of your links are on sharebees i paid for a premium account but guess what the download speeds are pathetic on average 100-200 kb/sec i know that you dont have any control about the speeds of sharebees but thought all members should be aware before buying a premium account with them.
please dont think im having a bitch about this site i think its awsome (hence recent donation) and very much appreciate all the hard work put into I F keep up the good work guys
kind regards

Vidhog has switched domains to .net. Have to wait and see what happens with that. Iqs no longer supports Rapidshare, so yes, download only.

So recently there has been a LOT of issues with the hosts and their slew of pop-up's. Sharebees seems to be the best one for not trying to run you around the internet on the proper place to click etc. All of the other ones that are used and provided are VERY deceptive. Fake links to stream / download, flash based rootkits etc. I REALLY hope icefilms takes some steps to ensure the safety of those who frequent this site.

My work computer which is the only thing i use icefilms on got hit the other day when i was forced to use one of the filehosts since sharebees wasnt an option. The only thing this work computer is used for is running MS Office and Netflix. This computer was infected with a LOT of rootkits and flash vulnerabilities from the hosts which are provided. Yes, its not Icefilms fault and its rather hard to screen everything, but we must find a reliable host who doesnt allow this to happen. The current rootkit going around is being sent through pop-ups and flash related stuff. Our work network has really good AV / Mallware stuff for protection but it still got around. Please ensure that we warn people about keeping flash up to date at all times.
In the end i had to use "tdsskiller" to get rid of the rootkit which clearly stated that it was from 180upload through their stupid pop-ups that happen. Yes, you can use pop-ups blockers etc. but you will still get hit from the flash vulnerabilities.

Simply asking if we can maybe screen the hosts a bit better and put word out on precautions to take.

There is a simple solution to all the harmful adds and attacks on the hosts pages (180upload, ect...). It has been talked about here in the forums a-lot? Install "ablocker plus" .

Because ablocker plus literally blocks all of 180upload's pop ups.

Also, I use free avast anti-virus and it works great.
