    Hello PA members,

    Many of you have probably noticed that most of the popular Filehost links are dead (Megaupload, Fileserve, Filesonic, Filejungle, Uploadstation, etc). Megaupload was taken down by the FBI several days ago and the owners of MU are awaiting trial, as a result other major filehosts began shutting down their operations in fear of suffering the same fate.

    Almost all of our old/past dramas were uploaded to these major filehosts and unfortunately most will probably never be recovered. We'll still try our best to find/reupload as many dramas as possible. As a community, I also hope that all members who downloaded any old dramas here and who still have it on their PC to reupload/seed them!

    For members who recently purchased premium accounts for filesonic, fileserve, etc through paypal. You may be eligible for a refund so make a request through paypal! I advise everyone not to buy any premium accounts until the dust settles and even then to only purchase 1month premiums.

    Not a great way to start off the Lunar New Years, but we wish everyone a successful, happy and, healthy Dragon New Year!

    It is unfortunate that so many series were uploaded on Megaupload. Your efforts to-date in sharing are appreciated and I look forward to your recovery process which will be painful.

    man... first i loved using RS, then MU then its Filesonic.. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU why....

    GOD DAMN the US government...


    here are a few suggestions:
    http://www.megashares.com/ - file size is max 10gb!! :D
    http://www.wupload.com/ - Didnt you guys used to upload here?
    http://www.gigasize.com/ - Files size up to 2gb
    http://netload.in/ - Tried this site a few times, they are ok...

    I would recommend megashares, speed is always good and the single file size limit is HUGE!

    I suggest Mediafire for shows under 200mb consistently. ie: the sitcom drama, variety shows that are 20 minute

    I lost my Megaupload Premium Account that I have since 2006 and a lost of at least 2TB of file stored there. Fortunately, I have a copy in my external harddrive. I am willing to share all my TVB series from the past year and would think torrent may be a better alternative than direct download. Can anyone advise on how do I create and seed the torrent? I am currently using Dlink 320 NAS to download my torrent. Is there a way that I can create and seed from this NAS?

    First of all, thanks to all whom have shared videos generously here.

    Since all major sites are down, I think it would be back to basics, ie torrents. Torrents have been here before MU, FS, etc., and is still here for us. It would be more difficult to crack down BT. Otherwise I am sure FBI would have struck BT few years back.

    Till then, life goes on :)
