- noseeme, on 03/21/2008, -8/+182I'm going to upload a 5 GB Unicode text file full of zeroes! Yay!
- Lane, on 03/21/2008, -0/+163Please post a link so we can verify it indeed is full of zeros later on at the party.
- afx1, on 03/21/2008, -2/+124porn isnt really that popular on the internet so im gonna have to say no

http://www.adrive.com/ - iDiggIt42, on 03/21/2008, -3/+72I bet you're a blast at parties, aren't you?

Not so fun now, eh? - nbrntrt, on 03/21/2008, -2/+69Nice work.. Now all they need to add is a progress bar. Otherwise very useful.
- TalSiach, on 03/21/2008, -4/+63I wonder if people will upload porn on it.... mmm lets see what can you do with 5gb..... I would "guess" and say Yes.
- Strikersgun, on 03/21/2008, -0/+55cant upload anything trademark or copyright? what do i have bigger then 2 mb that follow those rules?
- badwithcomputer, on 03/21/2008, -8/+55i can't wait to see people start uploading full dvd rips! this site should be awesome when academy screener season rolls around again...
- BigFoot48, on 03/21/2008, -1/+41The character at 7x10^5 is a "o", not a "0". Please correct and reload. Thanks!
- Klarth, on 03/21/2008, -0/+39Megaupload, Mediafire, Rapidshare and all the other major file depositories all have disclaimers like this. Doesn't stop them from having mountains and mountains of warez and media hosted though.
- JasonsLan, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3890% of the links on the site don't work.. and its slow.. I bet all the positive comments are from the guy who created this web page..
- Doktag, on 03/21/2008, -0/+35No joke, that link wasn't there when I made that comment. Oh well, at least they took my advice.
- sheep1220, on 03/21/2008, -2/+34Umm just about every database of this sort will have a similar EULA. They sort of have to so they can't be sued (as easily) for having copyrighted material found on their servers. If its against their EULA, they can remove it and not claim responsibility.
- picpak, on 03/21/2008, -0/+31At the bottom of the page there's a "Terms" link. Right here: http://filedropper.com/tos.php
- igraham09, on 03/21/2008, -2/+31Well ***** me running... why the hell did no one tell me of this until now?
- SuperJesus, on 03/21/2008, -1/+29there should be a way to preview uploads before downloading...you should also have a delete link.
- Doktag, on 03/21/2008, -9/+37There is one thing that scares me about this website's ultra-simplicity: there are no terms and conditions. I would be very careful about what you upload, because you might just be signing yourself up for a world of hurt.
Until they put up a EULA, or T&C, I will wait with bated breath. - Psykus2, on 03/21/2008, -0/+27Down in 3...2...1....
- antoni, on 03/21/2008, -1/+28Woah, 5GB is nearly half my monthly Internet download before I get capped.
Australian internetz ftl - supermajic, on 03/21/2008, -0/+27So the RIAA is behind this?
- jimmiem, on 03/21/2008, -1/+27Free to 100 MB, sure, but 5GB has to be worth some bonus points for this one.
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -0/+23Nice find also...just know that the max single file size is 2GB compared to file dropper's 5GB size...Not that anyone would be uploading full DVDs or anything... :/
- madirish, on 03/21/2008, -0/+22you were too busy running
- lucidguru, on 03/21/2008, -13/+34This will save me so much time... nice find.
- jojo1224, on 03/21/2008, -1/+21It is Really slow, They are going to die.
- soupdawg30, on 03/21/2008, -0/+19haha...***** me running
- badwithcomputer, on 03/21/2008, -3/+22i didn't get the e-vite
- Julolidine, on 03/21/2008, -2/+21Hah, the first couple comments are so phony. High five buddy! Way to go! You just save me some time! Bookmarked for later use!
Buried as lame. Shouldn't a file sharing site that is supposed to have a ton of bandwidth to deal with large file transfers be able to deal with the digg effect? - katana2k, on 03/21/2008, -0/+18MPAA watchlist +1
thanks for digging - pyromanx, on 03/21/2008, -2/+20after the long wait http://filedropper.com/Komodo-Edit-4.3.0-1079/ gives me a 404. invalid characters maybe
- weasler7, on 03/21/2008, -1/+18Downloading at 5 kb/second. Hoorah
- andyboyd, on 03/21/2008, -11/+27I reckon these types of services are only going to get more and more popular. Good find.
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -0/+15What did you expect? For ***** sake
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -3/+18Needs a load more bandwidth. Upload pretty past but downloading the same file took me 1meg/min @ approx 11kb/sec... 1 hour for a pretty standard 60meg .wav or .aiff file = not that good.
- inactive, on 03/21/2008, -2/+17Fine, digg me down but with my broadband ( 24mg ) I can do the same thing in about 10 secs directly.
- afx1, on 03/21/2008, -0/+14pure evil needs no motive...
- TH3W1R3D, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1311 hours and still no file... Come on man, some of us urgently await that file.
- Whaines, on 03/21/2008, -2/+13What about http://drop.io/ ?
- DeathRay2K, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11Which means the same thing, they're just a little less up front about it.
- badwithcomputer, on 03/21/2008, -5/+16agreed- a progress bar would be huge.
- SpeedoJoe, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11Split the file in half, then.
- Lemon, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11Creative people have print ready PDFs, Illustrator files, photoshop files, original music files etc etc etc
- briankeys, on 03/21/2008, -0/+10Yes, actually :*(
- fxu1989, on 03/21/2008, -0/+95gb ? ....
My upload speed sucks donkey balls, the max I upload is 5-20 MB (manga chapters) and it takes me like 10-20 minutes -_- ... and that is a lot in computer time... I can't download anything while I'm uploading ;_; - xkorbin, on 03/21/2008, -1/+10Ah, yeah, they used to be free for everything. I didnt notice they added that extra bull $$
- Dotcommer, on 03/21/2008, -1/+10Doesn't seem like there's a time limit either to the file being hosted. Can anyone confirm that?
