I am having a few problems with Hotfile being very slow so i decided to try the webcache proxy as in the past this sometimes has helped.

What im finding is although im able to download a bit faster at around 350k my overall connection is very sluggish.

I did a speedtest and this is how it looks with the proxy

Can someone else try and see if they get the same?
Thanks

free hotfile download or paid for?

The free service has always been awful slow for me

I have a Premium account as i use it a lot to download things friends of mine in Aussie Land upload for me.

Proxy is...
webcache.virginmedia.com on port 8080
to set it open up ur internet settings in control panel click on connections and then proxy at the bottom

that is pretty sucky then. I sometimes buy rapids for rapidshare and always get excellent speeds. There are other providers might be worth switching if your buddies have similar issues?

If the stuff they upload is less than 2Gb then it may be better to set up a free drop box. I use it for transferring files to some of my mates and it's relatively easy and efficient.

If you use this link (http://db.tt/uJP4xcM) to sign up we both get an extra 250Mb of space free. :D

Or you can just go here (http://www.dropbox.com/features).

They also do paid for up to 100Gb

_wtf_

Just had a pop-up saying my space had increased! I wondered who'd joined. Hope it serves your needs as it does mine!

Go for it!

And Thanks.

Use your own referral link as the one I gave gives me the extra free. You'll get an email about it.
