Hi, JTon!

Thanks for the feedback. The site is not intended to be used for sharing large binaries. It's purpose is for quickly sharing "incidental" type of files or transferring files quickly from device to device. For example, moving a photo from your phone to a friend's laptop or tablet. It's not intended to serve up large files like Mega.

As for rewarding users with larger limits for connecting with social media, all we gather is the most basic information to provide some accountability. That is to say, someone is less likely to upload pirated content, for example, without a layer of anonymity.

Nevertheless, if circumstances warrant it, we're always open to suggestions.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Pirated content isn't limited by size. RAR splits, eBooks, MP3s..

Mandatum,

That's true, that's why there's the file timeouts for anonymous files. Distributing pirated content in 10MB chunks that last only 15 minutes is not practical.
