Hi gang,

Just curious to see if somebody knows something I'm not aware of, because I can't figure out why so many of our members use 4shared. Maybe it's more storage or something. (Maybe I should have read Paul's thread closer???) I didn't check out all the specs on each program when I got my box.net, but I did sign up for 4 different ones at the same time!

Here's what I've noticed:
Most of the time, box.net loads fast and starts playing pretty quick once you click "play".

On the other side of the coin, every time I click on 4shared it seems to slow my computer immediately, then after a time finally comes in. Then I have to hit "download" and wait again while it tries to get me to buy their premium package. After that, when the thing finally times out, I have to click download again, and it usually takes forever for it to download and start. Very, very annoying.

To me it's very simple at this point. Until I hear good reasons to use 4shared it's like this:

box.net = fast, reliable.
4shared = slow, aggravating.

What's your take on this?
