Filehosting - Mediafire, Bizhat & Ifile

From my personnel point of view, this is the best filehosting. In my country, people will look for this links first, and in the forum, they always ask for this link. Its completely free, very good download speed, resumable, no limit to download, and support parallel download. You can register for their account for free but if I'm not mistaken, there is also pro account, but you need to pay certain amount. The down side is for free user, they can only upload file not more than 100 MB each. For pro account holder, Mediafire allows file size up to 10 GB to be upload. But lately this filehosting experience some problem. The files downloaded from their site tend to be corrupt when *extracted. Maybe this problem is due to heavy traffic of their site.
Download from this site also very easy. Just click the link and browser will open a new page. Wait for a while (maybe 2-3 seconds, depending on your internet speed) and download link will appear. Just click the download link ('click here to start download') and you're good to download. Refer the image below.

I've mentioned before that browser tends to hang for a while when IDM is trying to download the file. If you want to download from this site, it's better for you to right click at the download link and choose 'download with IDM'. Download file info will pop up and wait for the file size before you proceed with the action. This site support for resume broken download, because of this we can queue the files and let IDM do the rest. One thing you should know is if you're using dynamic ip, you can't resume it right away if you've disconnected or reset your modem. But don't worry, there is a way to resume it. I'll share with you in other post.

*Because of file size limit of 100 MB, uploader have to split the file to several part, usually in .rar format and after all parts have been downloaded, we need to extract it. This is the time where you'll know whether your downloaded files are good or corrupted. We'll discuss this later.

Bizhat, another complete free filehosting. Download speed also very good. It also support resume broken download and also allows parallel downloading, so you can put those files in the queue download. The down side is just one, each file stored in this filehosting can't be more than 50 MB. So, if you want to download a 350 MB file than you've to download 7-8 parts. It used to allow file size up to 100 MB each, so in the screenshot, you'll see a 96 MB file. This site also offers free account and you can store your files. Before this, it allowed to upload using third party software, which is faster but lately it didn't work. Because of the file size is limit to 50 MB, it doesn't popular compares to Mediafire.

This is the step to download a file from this site. Actually, it's very easy. Refer the images below.
If you find the link in any forum/website, click the link. It'll open a new page just like the screenshot. You'll see the countdown timer (no. 1 in the screenshot) and when it finished, the download button (no. 2) will appear. Actually, it just the same button where the countdown timer is. So, just click the button, that's it!

Ifile, another filehosting quite similar with Mediafire and Bizhat because its free. You can register an account for free, and of course download for free. But it's not so popular compares to Mediafire. Its kind of hard to find the ifile movies links in any forum/website. The download speed used to be very good, but lately it became poor. It also has a 'twin', which is mihd.

Download from this site is a bit tricky. People always asked how to download from this site. I don't get it what makes it so hard for them. Anyway, let me show you how. When you clicked the link, a new page will be opened. Refer to the image below.
First, click the 'Request Download Ticket'. Sometimes it'll ask you to enter the "captcha", just enter it and click ok. After that, click the word 'Download' and your download should start.

Among these three, Mediafire is the best. In fact, like I've said before, Mediafire is the best filehosting site!
