4shared finally became one of the worst hostings these days. It's so sweet, I have no words, heh.

I can't share your opinions. 4sh*d is the fastest downloading service for free users (at maximum speed!) - but I didn't test it as an uploader yet.

I've noticed when I do this sometimes only one or two files will download simultaneously but the rest will restart the 300 second countdown once you click Download. It must not allow you to download 4 or 5 multiple files at once anymore. It really sucks because 4shared was the only service used on here that seemed to have fair wait times and still allowed you to grab a few files simultaneously.

I've noticed using JDownloader and setting Max Connections and Max Downloads to 1 within the program you can download a whole game and not have to constantly babysit it.

Meanwhile all OCHs check IP addresses within different access stages and finally allow only one connection for an IP for each download. Additionally for example 4s or nl require cookies, but mu or hf don't.
Therefore if you know how to handle access to such websites with IP addresses other than your own you can get an advantage.
