Will you help?
No, faggot.
If they have so much traffic couldn't they show ads?

You could just delete all the child pornography on your servers and then you wouldn't need to buy more HDDs.
This. It would be far cheaper to pay a software developer to write a script that scrapes the URLS off of onion sites and automate the process of removing that content from your servers. That's not even a difficult task. Web scraping is piss easy and Tor being involved doesn't really change the difficulty.
I never got these sites. Never ever. I will forever be unsympathetic to your dipshit problems. All you need to do is
>every day we have a limit: 1000 gigabytes free (or something around that amount) globally. This means first comes first serves
>also we're setting a local IP limit of 500 megabytes or something
>You want to upload still past the limit? Donate
You might say "wow that's being a dick", but there's 2 other free services to use. Why is the answer to increasing server costs is expanding? At worse I have to go to zippyshare or catbox and use their site
this would be illegal
>every day we have a limit: 1000 gigabytes free (or something around that amount) globally. This means first comes first serves
>api gets throttled on 00:01
this would be bad, but I think it would be okay if they deleted old stuff that hasn't been accessed in years
Me killing you with a rock would be illegal, scrapping websites isnt
They aren't doing that already?
Again no sympathy.
That's the price of free. Amazon solved that problem anyways, I reckon anonfiles could solve it as well
>Amazon solved that problem anyways, I reckon anonfiles could solve it as well
Anonfiles cares about anonymity unlike amazon. It would be very hard to stop without infringing on users' privacy. And even if they tried people would figure out a way around it.
>malware ads/redirects (which net them big sums of money)
>downloads malware from 3rd party instead of uploaded file praying you dont notice (which is pretty costy as far as im aware)
No, i dont support 12 yo jewish hax0rs. I was naive enough to donate $20 to wikpedia, not falling for this social engineering attempt again.

Retards should be making money off crypto to support the site. They put the cart before the horse.
Shalom, many sites are behind registration wall and pretty complex captchas, not to mention the speed of TOR. Have you ever used tor joo?
It's probably illegal for them to sit around and act like their servers aren't filled with child porn even though they know A) their servers are filled with child porn, and B) exactly how to identify and delete much of the child porn on their servers
What's not illegal, is scraping websites for URLs.
>pretty complex captchas
They aren't that complex. I have scipted my way past some of them myself. Many of the chat rooms use the same useless captcha which can be solved by literally just extracting all pixels of a specific color and then running it through OCR. A lot of the other captchas are pretty easy to solve programmatically as well.
>not to mention the speed of TOR
It's plenty fast enough for scraping URLs
>Have you ever used tor joo?
I've written scripts that have spammed certain communities on Tor until they became unusable.
why havent they implemented an optional time limit for files? not everyone wants or needs a file to stay up forever and it would probably help bring down storage usage
nevermind, just read the announcement and its the traffic they're struggling to cope with
also
>Harddrives to increase file retention (time before deletion) of uploaded files.
so do they remove files?
>so do they remove files?
probably, by the time of last download/visit
