Filehosting - Hotfile & Netload

Hotfile is another filehosting that provide good speed even for free user. This website also has premium account but of course you need to pay for it. As a free user, you can't download more than 1 file simultaneously, and you've to wait 15 minutes before you can start download another file. But still, its working for me.
Download from this site is also easy. Just refer the image below.

As no. 1, click the 'Regular Download' button. There will be captcha that you need to type in the box provided (as no. 2) and then click the 'Download' button (no. 3). A new link will appear and you can click the link (no. 4) or use the "right click" method.

For free user, files are limited for upload, which is not more than 400 MB per file. I'm not sure whether this site has limited size per file for download or not, because I've not encountered any, as for now.

If you're downloading from this site, you can see that it has resume capability, that's mean you can resume the broken download, but pay attention that you can't resume it right away. If you stop/pause the download process, you need to refresh the download link before you can resume it. And because of this, you can't queue the download. And you still need to wait for 15 minutes before you can refresh the download link.

One more thing about this site, I've always experience something annoying, which is the transfer rate suddenly drops and became 0 (no download process). If this happened, you still can resume it, and again, you need to stop it, wait for 15 minutes and refresh the download link.

Netload is another filehosting that provide good speed but it's not completely free. Still you can download for free with good speed but it's very limited. No parallel downloading, you can't resume your download (this means no queue download) and you've to wait for some time before you can start another download. If you register for their premium account, you can overcome all those things. If you download from this site as a free user, than you've to finish it, if not then you've to start over. File size are limited to 400 MB, which is good enough for me.

These are the steps to download from this filehosting. Refer the image below.

First, click the 'continue with the free download'. A new page with countdown timer will appear. As always, we've to wait for the timer to finish. After that, its times for the "captcha" part, type the character in the box and click 'next'. Another page with another countdown timer will appear and that's mean another waiting (don't worry, it just 15 seconds). And after that your download link will appear, just click it.
