If you have files on mediafire or a similar download host, I highly suggest you log in and back them up. Today. If you want your stats, take a screenshot or copy and paste. It seems they're trying to avoid the fate of megaupload and filesonic by deleting whole collections of possibly illegal content, even if it isn't illegal or linked online for sharing.

In other news, Shiny Grey Monotone and Angry Chairs got royally fucked today, due to primarily using mediafire. There are probably other blogs as well, but those are the big ones I've been keeping up with for years.

I also got screwed; one of my blogs was based on megaupload, and half of my compilation mixes and backup files were there. My mediafire files remain intact, however... I have to wonder if it's because the blog most of them are connected to has been down for six months.

There's not really an alternative solution as of yet. Slsk and torrents still work, but they've been poorly used since download blogs became popular, and the former doesn't work on some computers. Perhaps it's time to change that.

Otherwise, can bands please utilize bandcamp more often?

SeeingtheDark.com has gradually evolved from a song-a-day blog since its start in October 2007 to something a little more nebulous. With a heavy rock and metal focus, I share music that I find interesting along with my personal musical journey and experiences. While narcissistic, in the end I hope you make up your own mind.

Send emails to cyberspaceship (at) gmail (dot) com. Questions & updates are fine, sending me unrequested demos or putting me on your label spam list isn't. I will not review your crap.
