Which is stupid. I still can't believe Jacob agreed to that. Since when do we cater to a few members complaining about the hosting service? I agree that better ones should be used, but if you wish to use Hotfile whether additionally or not you should feel free to. Just don't expect it to be a popular decision.
I saw it as a way to get people to upload to
good sites.
Really, there's no reason to upload it to Hotfile except to get money by having people download it. If you can upload something to Hotfile, you should also be able to upload it to another site, one that doesn't have shitty speeds and is used to make money for the uploaders.
If people offered more than one download option, things might be different. A lot of scanlation groups, for example, offer a Hotfile or Depositefile link to earn them money, as well as a Megaupload or Mediafire link for those that don't want to spend twenty minutes downloading one chapter of manga. But a lot of the users here that used Hotfile links didn't offer anything else, forcing people to spend hours to get anything of a decent size.
