Download Link issues
Added 2017-02-04 15:40:41 +0000 UTCHi all, I've just got notified that my dropbox link got overwhelm with traffic and they sent me an e-mail sayings it will be temporary down. I'm not sure how long it usually takes to refresh itself? Does anyone familiar, In the meantime I need to find alternate more reliable free server to upload my materials and package.
I've tried MEGA in the past but people have told me they have bandwidth issues after a while and cannot download the links I sent out.
So may I ask if anyone could recommend some more stable server, or anyone who is experience knows what other artist use?
Thanks

I just checked Dropbox, Didn't know it's $99 per year subscription now, which provides 100TB space. Seems a bit pricey but probably no more limits for downloads. But I'll try the google drive that might work as well, thanks Deviant!

2017-02-05 07:17:08 +0000 UTCI totally forgot about google drive, after their privacy terms of services changed. But it seems like a good alternative!

2017-02-05 07:15:04 +0000 UTCThat can too, I can use a little of patreon money to upgrade, i read its $50 per year for 200GB pro tier, not sure if it includes um-limitless downloads

2017-02-05 07:10:55 +0000 UTCI have just tried uploading to google drive and it seems very stable with download for now, so I will use this as alternative together with others. Thanks for the suggestion!

2017-02-05 07:10:26 +0000 UTCif you put the file on google drive and make it public i don't think they have a limit.

Don't use a torrent as iqbunny suggest, many many Internet Providers get pissy for even just torrenting, even not illegally.

2017-02-04 18:57:21 +0000 UTCI know some artists upload to Patreon itself, but I'm not sure if you're trying to avoid that

2017-02-04 16:49:51 +0000 UTCFor me, MEGA isn't bad choice. But if someone has problem for using that, yeah, Google drive can be another selection. When I use that, however, I got bunch of trouble for download. Why don't you come back to MEGA temporally? It has some problem that time, but after few days later, it solved naturally.
