New Megaupload Will Be Massive Global Network To Change The World - Polidicks

[quote] [b]Several weeks ago Kim Dotcom informed the world that Megaupload would be back, bigger and better than ever. Today, in a series of announcements he’s provided more intriguing details about the new service. “We are building a massive global network,” Dotcom revealed, while adding that hosters will all be able to connect to the network to add servers and bandwidth – providing they’re not in the United States that is. “I am going to turn this world upside down,” Dotcom warned.[/b] In July, a little over six months since the January raids on Megaupload, Kim Dotcom told the world his now-infamous service would be back. “MEGA will return. Bigger. Better. Faster. Free of charge & shielded from attacks. Evolution!” the Megaupload founder announced on Twitter. Coming from most regular people in the online space, such claims might be considered fanciful, particularly given the precarious situation Dotcom and his associates find themselves in. But with enthusiasm, energy and positivity coming out of his every pore, there is something about the larger-than-life German that inspires confidence that these were not casual off-the-cuff remarks. Today, in a series of announcements, Dotcom has added to his earlier promise that not only will Megaupload return, it will indeed be bigger, better and more secure than ever before. “Developers get ready. The Mega API [application programming interface] will provide incredible powers. Our API and your Mega tools will change the world,” Dotcom said. Knowing Dotcom’s history of never doing anything in half measures or on a modest scale, the Internet entrepreneur says he’s going large with the new Megaupload and is inviting almost everyone to join him in scaling the system. With a shake of the head towards those who he claims preside over a corrupt administration, Dotcom implies he is excluding one nation from supplying infrastructure to the new Megaupload. “We are building a massive global network. All non-US hosters will be able to connect servers & bandwidth,” he explained. According to Dotcom we can expect a Megaupload with an even greater range of applications than just file-sharing. While developers of file managers are being encouraged to get in touch for early API access, Dotcom is also calling out to those involved in email and fax tools, VOIP and video apps. And to those looking forward to a new Megaupload with more privacy, Dotcom says that the new service will offer one-click encryption of all data transfers, on the fly, and for free. “They abused the wrong guy. I am going to turn this world upside down. Power to the people. Bye bye Echelon. Hello Freedom,” Dotcom concludes.

Fuck yeah.

And it's going to have blackjack and hookers?

So the next big P2P thing after Bittorrent and Kazaa?

[QUOTE=Mingebox;37441976]And it's going to have blackjack and hookers?[/QUOTE] Most likely.

damnit, more people using this awful service to upload things like before. Why did people use it? 60 second download wait times, annoying popup ads, code verification input and slow download speeds?

i love how dramatic dotcom is. he's a chill guy

[QUOTE=Ylsid;37441989]damnit, more people using this awful service to upload things like before. Why did people use it? 60 second download wait times, annoying popup ads, code verification input and slow download speeds?[/QUOTE] That's the only thing that turned me off. There are better file hosts out there (such as Mediafire and Dropbox).

I liked megaupload because it let me upload huge files (that were legitimate, might I add) for free and did it fast. I also lost a bunch of my shit :(

I usually just host my files myself or use mediafire anyways.

I knew this was going to be a Mr.T thread just from the title.

[QUOTE=Ylsid;37441989]damnit, more people using this awful service to upload things like before. Why did people use it? 60 second download wait times, annoying popup ads, code verification input and slow download speeds?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say it was awful, out of all the free file hosts MU used to actually be the only one which would give me my full download speed on the free service, sure the wait and code verification are a little annoying but there were ways around that.

[QUOTE]Several weeks ago Kim Dotcom[/QUOTE] Ever time I see his name I wonder if that is his born name... Its so ironic

He sounds like the Peter Molyneux of entrepreneurs except he actually gets shit done.

[QUOTE=Richy19;37442160]Ever time I see his name I wonder if that is his born name... Its so ironic[/QUOTE] It isn't.

[QUOTE=Richy19;37442160]Ever time I see his name I wonder if that is his born name... Its so ironic[/QUOTE] Of course it isn't.

MegaUpload being taken down was a good thing, more people started using MediaFire.

[QUOTE=sedarahC;37442182]MegaUpload being taken down was a good thing, more people started using MediaFire.[/QUOTE] Yeah I sure do love 200MB size caps.

Megaupload was FAST and they had a 1GB file limit. Mediafire always had a 200 MB limit, and it rapidly became slow as hell.

megaupload kicked ass, bring it back and make it good mister dotcom

so it's like a p2p network except with all the bad shit bad hosters like megaupload have can't wait to download more shitty porn and badly cracked software

[QUOTE=Ylsid;37441989]damnit, more people using this awful service to upload things like before. Why did people use it? 60 second download wait times, annoying popup ads, code verification input and slow download speeds?[/QUOTE] Because they're a fucking business and need to make money.

Oh holy shit, this guy is so full of himself.

I dont know why people bother with filehosting sites, just rent some FTP space or something for alot less then a "Premium" account would cost at one of these dumb services.

[QUOTE=Noss;37442386]Because they're a fucking business and need to make money.[/QUOTE] No the question is why the fuck do people use this goddamned fucking service

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37442440]No the question is why the fuck do people use this goddamned fucking service[/QUOTE] Because it's easy to use, free and reliable.

[QUOTE=NotAName;37442180]Of course it isn't.[/QUOTE] Usain Bolt would disagree

[QUOTE=Noss;37442445]Because it's easy to use, free and reliable.[/QUOTE] i thought recent events proves this wrong
