Sorry to spoil the party folks, but this breaks our Community Rules

Edit: having looked at the news article I've opened the topic again. It's borderline though, if anyone *encourages* naughty stuff or posts naughty links we'll definitely have to remove/warn for that.

Well i'll say technically I used it for piracy - that is I downloaded TV shows so my GF in Germany can stream/download them from my server :p

Well in reality I didn't really use MegaUpload, it was more RapidShare or MultiUpload (direct link, i know they also upload to Megaupload :D).

What I mainly used it for was XDA-Developer downloads which were 100% legit however.

You know I voted I don't use the site, but COMPLETELY forgot about stuff from XDA-Developers.. When I had my Android phone, I used to download stuff from there all the time for it from XDA.

      If possible change your subscription to a Microsoft 365 Personal Classic Account and no AI. And it is only $69.99 a year.

      That's (at least partially) on 7-zip; Nanazip (7-zip fork) adds itself properly to Context menus.
    • Ads have been turned off in the forums

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We have disabled advertising in the forums for now for an undetermined period. If you feel like you get a lot of value out of the site please do whitelist ads on the news articles, and/or consider getting a subscription, we offer two tiers, one at: $14 per year (support the site for just over a dollar a month) or the $28/year tier (just over $2/month) that disables advertising and affiliate link tracking throughout the site (so also on the news side). We also have a 'Buy us a coffee' page if you just want to make a one-time donation. I am not mincing words when I say it is becoming harder and harder to monetize publications like Neowin, it's a fact of life that when we can no longer afford to pay for everything we'll go like many other sites already have. It doesn't have to cost you anything There are other ways to support Neowin too, like posting on topic content in the forums (technical support/questions/helping others) and sharing our news articles.. this costs nothing but your time and is just as important as subscribing or making a monetary donation! Anyway thanks for your time and continued support of Neowin. Now in our 26th year, and hopefully many more! For all the lurkers out there that whitelist us, make a free member account, and see fewer (only inline) ads on the news side
