We encourage faster hosts for free users, and will not allow content to be "locked" by slow cash-hosts |

Cash has a lot to do with download speeds for free users. Cash hosts throttle download speeds to get users to buy premium accounts in order to download. If those hosts allowed decent download speeds for free users, there would be no need for preferred or even required host rules.

FileFactory never comes close to that speed for free, but with 150 kbs it's still several times better than the slowest hosts that offer 5-50 kbs |

Filefactory falls into that 45kb group now by the way which is why we removed it from the preferred host list.

It's the first who pop-up in my mind when I replied, but yeah there way worst than them. At least I will try if someone post a link from them, but no way I'd waste my time with something like upstore, rapidgator or some other weird ones.

To be clear, we normally do not allow dupes. But there are a few exceptions where we do allow dupes, e.g. when there are no preferred links posted yet, and when someone posts a quality upgrade, alt language or version with additional footage.
