100 of the Best Free File Hosting Upload Sites

August 26, 09 by sharky   25,936  views  

Not everything that’s out there can be found as a torrent - that’s why release blogs and warez forums do amazingly well. Warez-bb.org alone offers literally millions of separate topics, with each one containing a downloadable release - numbers that by far eclipse even the most prolific public torrent indexers. So where are all these releases being offered for download? On those so-called 1-Click Hoster sites. Here’s a current list of the top 100 free file hosting sites on the ‘net.

You’ve probably come across similar lists, but we’ve cleaned it up for 2009. The number listed next to each entry refers to the "free user" upload size limit only. Many of these services allow for either free or premium registration, in which the allowable sizes of files will be increased. All sites listed below are essentially open to everyone for public uploading - signing up is not required, but optional.

1 GB and up

Many of the sites listed in this range are extremely popular with those who upload to release blogs & forums since often the links are interchangeable with eath other, yet each part can be downloaded by "free" (non-premium) users. For example, if you’ve blown your free daily limit downloading Part 1 from storage.to, you can download Part 2 from hotfile.com, and so on. Movie releases are often uploaded in 2, 4 or even 8 parts (depending on originating file size and the hoster used).

    Warez-BB is awesome, not for downloads, because that’s why we have torrents! :P They have the most active community I’ve ever seen in my entire life. :)

  2. 02   •   a/s/l Says:

    b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk is great, although file upload is disabled at the moment while he’s moving servers. it even allows hotlinking of mp3s, pictures, html files and stuff.

  3. 03   •   Agent Of Chaos Says:

    WBB ftw. I love that website and it’s made me who I am, on the net that is.
    :P

  4. 04   •   enter8 Says:

    File size limitations. That’s… nice. If you really want to be helpful, though, make a list of average download speeds for free users and then rank each site fastest to slowest. That would be something that people could actually use.

  5. 05   •   WBB Says:

    Yup. But, that’s also another reason why people use torrents. They’re just faster. You can’t say no to that.

  6. 06   •   All Your Pics Are Belong To Us Image Host Says:

    Nice list! CHeers!

    I personally just use Rapidshare for everything, as generic as it is.

  7. 07   •   NOdaddy.com Says:

    it’s GAY to use a web browser to upload large files

    FTP predates the interweb

    only free file hosting services that provide FTP upload option to free accounts are useful

  8. 08   •   NEXTLIFE Says:

    Tsk Tsk…HTML, PHP Are More Dangerous Than FTP But You Have A More Direct Access In HTML And PHP

  9. 09   •   omgwtfhax Says:

    mediafire is the best if you dont have a premium account because there is no wait.

    Rapidshare doesnt get good speeds even with a premium account for me (I have a 100mbit connection)

  10. 010   •   Lasty Says:

    i m not sure because i don’t use these sites that much, but i think you are wrong about ifile.it!!!
    it is IMHO one of the best and i think it offers unlimited upload for (free) registered users.. much more than 300 MB

  11. 011   •   rohail Says:

    hey on that list ffuw.com is supposed to be 500mb but it only says 100 :S

  12. 012   •   Admiral Says:

  23. 023   •   SkynetTX Says:

    Good list, but does anyone know a site that compares these sites more complex? For example, how many days are the files deleted after (if no downloading) for free and premium users (if any.)

  24. 024   •   joe011089 Says:

    I use megaupload Premium because you also get access to megavideo Free, so if their is a MU link on a release blog and you do not feel like downloading it, you can just watch it on megavideo.

  32. 032   •   Sean Says:

    I really do prefer file mirroring as it is way more reliable than just uploading to one site. I’ve found http://www.upload-this.com to be the most professional looking and easiest to use free file hosting mirror site. You just upload it to them and they upload it to a bunch of free file hosting sites and you get an awesome looking download page.

  33. 033   •   barbarian Says:

    I also use file mirroring to give more sources to download and .I’m using http://www.metahyper.com/ which allows to list additional mirrors

    megaupload
    hotfile

    get premium membership for each one and you’ll be happy.

  36. 036   •   Tyler Says:

    filehostingdirectory.com has lists of these sites and ratings and reviews for most of them.

  37. 037   •   Rick Fran Says:

    We currently use http://www.filethe.net the main reason we use them is that they use ultra fast safe servers and we use them to store our personal and business files,these are password protected and offer massive storage quotas which is refreshing to say the least as most only offer storage for small files.Another site that we also use is a nice little mirror hosting site http://www.mirrorthe.net this one offer the ability to upload a file to many other file storage site and once again this facilty is totally free.
    Hope you all have a fantastic 2010
