This is quickly becoming popular as a way to throw large files around. Has anyone had problems with it?

How can they keep this up?
I know that they shut down services rather quick. For larger numbers of users you want the file to get you still have to rely on torrents or permanent HTML downloads...
Western file upload boards are rather shitty. I personally wouldn't want to use one.
Again, I envy the Japanese...
I wonder if that download manager of theirs includes spyware? It's reassuring that it's open-source and they explain how to use alternatives, but...
I don't see any download managers on their site. It's only a standard hyperlink once you've uploaded the file, so you can use any download manager you want.
There's a link to it when you go to download something.

>Has anyone had problems with it?
i've only gotten it to work with IE, but otherwise it's a good system.
whenever i try to download a file from it, the server terminates the connection about halfway through the file, then refuses connections from my ip address... i've tried using IE, firefox, opera, and a quite a few download managers, and i always have the same problem...
>and a quite a few download managers
Hint: Download managers literally rape HTTP and FTP servers. Do not use them or some disgruntled admins will temp or permban you from their site.
Only if segment downloading is enabled (which it usually is). Otherwise it's a win for webmasters because of less redownloading. Face it, most browsers are horrible at resuming a broken download. :(

Fsck, that's close to 31TiB a day... I'd say they're probably lying. That's 375MiB/sec, or a 3,000Mbps connection. Well, it's not impossible, but it's pretty insane. That number there is perfectly round, so I'd suggest that's how much they could push in theory. Likely they're using space in a data facility with three 1000Mbps links.
The webhost I'm with charges ~$15,000 US/month for a single 1000Mbps link to a dedicated server. $45K/month isn't impossible, but it sure is something you'd be thinking long and hard about before doing.
