Changing Download Links

In recent weeks, I've been posting all new albums using the Pixeldrain and Bestfile download links. Nearly everybody seems to be using them just fine. Plus, I figure if I post both links for each new album, if one doesn't work, the other one should. 

As a result, I'm no longer making new links with upload.ee. When I started using that, there wasn't a problem with spam or viruses. But those things showed up and seemed to never go away. Of course, I'll keep existing upload.ee links, which is a majority of all the old links. But if and when any of those die or need to be changed, I'll be replacing them with Pixeldrain and Bestfile links.

Today, I also finished replacing all Imagenetz links, so I can stop using that service too. At first, I'd made a lot of those links, but I found they died mysteriously and at random, despite promises to be permanent. After a while, the only Imagenetz links I kept going were for albums over 200 MB in size, which is about an hour and a half of music, because upload.ee didn't allow files larger than 200 MB. But Pixeldrain and Bestfile don't have any such limitation. So I just added those two to the 200 or so albums I'd used Imagenetz with. However, I'll keep the Imagenetz links going in most cases until they die off on their own.

I don't know how long I'll be able to keep using Pixeldrain for new links, since they claim to have a "one and done" policy when it comes to copyright violations. So that's one key reason I'm making Bestfile links for all new albums too. But I'll keep going with Pixeldrain for as long as they let me.

  2. Thank you for the choices. (And the great music!) The upload.ee files would not download for me, 70% of the time. I'd have to come back hour after hour after hour to try again, until they finally clicked. The Pixeldrain links have worked first time, every time.
