well wire transfer is out the question as my USA bank would charge me $35. I checked out the other methods and didn't find one that would accept my visa card. I tried 4 that appeared to accept visa master card using previous cards that have worked in the past. As the years go by it's harder and harder to find a way to pay these file sharing sites with a credit card. Suggestions for a guy in the USA with credit card. I have never used bitcoin and wouldn't know how.

Yep paypal and CC refuse payments to file hosts. I don't know anything about bitcoin either but here's a link.

Not from the States but " Premiuminstant " worked for me and was one of the cheaper options

I did a little research. Apparently Paypal & Credit Card groups (Visa, MC) have been pressured by groups (Hollywood/government) to stop allowing payments to filesharing hosts of any sort.

Well I followed the link and atleast they have a iOS app - so they meet Apple's approval. FYI: The IRS (USA) has been ruling against Bit-Coin currency; see the various Wall Street Jornual articles. I suppose it only matters if you a multi-millioner using lots of bit-coins. At these prices I can not imagine every buying even one; hopefully I can buy (fraction) just enough to get a 1 year subscription.

Your answer is a few pages back. Click on the little blue arrow at top of first quote below to go to the original post and read all of it. The second quote is the next post below the first.

I was able to use a credit card to deposit funds at payza (there is a 3.5% service charge) immediately after opening an account with email verification...

Denaniel - thanks for the help/guidance.

Unfortunately I could not get digitadiko on 1fichier to work. I did go to the website and found the discounted offer for 13.99 EU. Thought I would try. It did not work; seemed to but failed to authorize. My CC companies didn't even acknowledge that a charge was attempted. Citi & Bank of America.

Finally did get coinbase to work. Much easier than I expected. However it did take a total of 3 hours from start to getting the premium account. Partially due to me not waiting around at my PC and my CC company (BoA) taking it's sweet time to confirm the transaction. After denying the transaction I tried a second time and BoA sent me a delayed text message before approving the transaction. Finally I have a premium 1fichier account for a year.

Thanks to Shadexxx for pointing out 1fichier's today's discount offer

.
I very much appreciate this hint.

I held two PaySafeCards in reserve.
One that had been bought in OCT 2015 had not been recognized as valid card, so its remaining €38 are burnt

.
I assume the card expired in OCT 2016, though I never recognized any expiration warning at the payment confirmation.

Anyway, at least I could use the other €30-card for securing a two year extension for the price of 2x €12.96, which is more than the offered €20, but at least I could save a big chunk of this card's value prior to probably being set unknown mid of May this year, too.

And yes - 1fichier added two years to my subscription's original expiration date, not just an extension that would have cut off the rest of my previous subscription.

Conclusion:
To avoid members losing money from unexpected expiration dates of PaySafeCards, please check whether or not you hold some in reserve and use it! You should not suffer from money loss the way I did.

I stumbled upon the 1fichier special offer today to extend/purchase premium for one year for only ten euros. Thankfully, I had already purchased bitcoin the last time I tried to take advantage of a similar one-day offering, and I was able to extend premium for another year just now.

I dislike having to sidetrack this thread, but I think this is the proper one for my query.
I think you know the way I download files from the internet is via public wi-fi. My connectivity at home is v.92, which is not going to work for much beyond old 1970s loops.
I've had recent problems with downloads from 1fichier which bomb out very early in the effort. Then 1fichier decides I am still downloading the file which it just bombed out on me and won't let me retry. This occurs regardless of whether I am logged on to 1fichier or not.
The suspicion I have is that the public wi-fi network via which I access 1fichier is responsible for this snag; it will not let anything hosted therein downloaded via its network. But 1fichier is an accomplice in this snag by not recognizing that something is aborting its downloads. Further, it will not tell me when I can retry downloading the file.
Is anybody else here experiencing this snag? What can I attempt to avert this snag?
