Share files online with DivShare
There are a lot of file sharing/hosting/storing sites out there. A lot. So one of my first predictable questions for DivShare co-founder David Altschul was of course, "Why use DivShare?" His answer: "DivShare sets itself apart from other free file hosts in a number of distinct ways, most notably in that we offer unlimited uploads and downloads, no waiting lines for files, auto image galleries, no popups or spam, an intuitive member dashboard, and all files stay online forever. Perhaps the biggest reason why bloggers and webmasters should choose DivShare over the other free file hosts is our co-branding options. Blogs can quickly and easily add their name, URL and logo to their hosted file pages via the dashboard. An example of co-branding can be seen here (warning: the link may also start a download - you can cancel it - but it's actually a pretty good song).I have to admit, everything David says sounds great (files stay online forever?!). But how does it actually perform? Well, the aforementioned song downloaded at an average rate of 550KBps, which isn't bad at all. I uploaded a 10MB video, and though there's no fancy Flash-Ajax upload timer, it took less than 2 minutes to complete. On an upstream-weak cable connection, that's pretty darn good. Since DivShare launched this month, only time will tell if the service remains as excellent as it is right now. Happy uploading!
P.S. You can't upload files larger than 100MB.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Hi,
I would like to seek help from you regarding downloading of files here in divShare. I'm just a newbie here and I don't know how can I download uploaded audio files in divShare. I can simply play them through the site but there is no Download link where I could download those songs.
Please help.
Thank you.

alexcher. A bit late perhaps for you, but the answer is to look for the "share" link. That gives you all you need.

Well, I still prefer Mediafire. In common with DivShare: Unlimited uploads and downloads, no waiting lines for files, no popups or spam, a (simpler) dashboard, and all files stay online forever. Advantage over DivShare: Unlimited file size. Disadvantage: No co-branding, no auto album.

I believe DivShare has no limit. Not sure if that's changed since you wrote the post or what.
That makes it incredibly useful combined with its unlimited timeframe. The speed isn't exactly rapidshare on a good day, but it's not half bad at all either.

I ever tried to upload a 6mb file but cannot success actually. For this kind of services I prefer Nakido, at least they are no limited on file size and download smooth after installed plugin.

OldCat:
I just went to the mediafire website, and on the front page it says "Up to 100MB per File".
So that leaves mediafire with no advantages over divshare...
