Read before asking:
You are encouraged to:
  • - Leave comments with your opinion about the music/film. It will help others to decide which one to download, and also encourage me on uploading.
  • - Rate the films/music using the star system (only AFTER watching/listening to them).
  • - Request using the request link at the top of the page ONLY.
  • - Use the sitemap at the top of the page for list of film/music by category, for example, by country, by actor, by singer, etc.
  • - Use the search box right above this comment to find what you want.
  • - Navigate the site using Firefox.

What not to:
  • - Ask me to upload to other services: I do understand that some of you might have problems downloading from megaupload, but you should also understand that I might have problems uploading using other services. With the sheer volume of files that I upload everyday, 1) mega-manager is the only reliable uploading software, 2) megaupload is the only one which allows big enough size, 3) megaupload is the one that keeps the files alive the longest. For files smaller than 100MB, I've been using sharebee, which creates links to multiple services., and that is the biggest improvement i've seen in 2,3 years. I'm open to suggestions, but if your only comment is "please use other services because megaupload sux in my country", then don't bother.
  • - Steal my contents: Please respect the amount of time that I spent on this blog (a lot). So ask me for permission if you want to post any of the materials elsewhere, with the link to my blog.
