Hi all users, bad news is "The most file-hosting service service (we used to use previously) FileSonic has gone offline". The file-sharing site went dark on Wednesday and has been unreachable since.
As you might know FileSonic had imposed uploading restrictions on its users shortly after fellow Web locker service MegaUpload was raided by the FBI earlier this year.
Filesonic began limiting what its users could upload and download, and disabled any file-sharing functionality. A banner on the site said: "Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally."
FileSonic also reportedly deleted files and accounts (of it's user) in January that were associated with piracy or copyright infringement. FileSonic'a Facebook page has also disappeared.
The company had been the target of legal action by a porn company, according to the BBC. Oron, a similar file-sharing site, disappeared from the Web in August following a lawsuit by the same porn company, Flava Works, which accused both sites of assisting their members to infringe copyrighted materials.
Representatives for FileSonic were contacted but did not reply at the time of writing. The bottom line is I think filesonic will also going to be dead like megaupload.
Would love to here from you...
