This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Mediafire Down

Post by DrSpooky »

Hi,

I noticed mediafire.com is down today and can't find any official news. I found some sites claiming there was a long term problem -- like shutdown for good. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Many reports (some on this forum) that Mediafire was a haven for viruses. Don't know if that has anything to do with it being down for the count, though.

In my experience, it's not unusual for it to be unavailable for a few hours from time to time.

It seems to be fine now.

Ironically I had a few files that were not EC related and were too big to email. This was the first time I had ever used it to host anything for me. And it went down very soon after I sent the link. Murphy's Law strikes again.

Thanks.
