This is just my feedback to the whole situation in choosing which download server to host RM files. Oron is by far the best download server speed wise out of the rest and I've gotten the membership which allows me to download multiple files at a time. Fiberupload's speed is good but most of the links are dead also. Depositfiles is just a hassle due to it being blocked in Malaysia and would require me to use a proxy which further decreases my download speed. I tried Jumbofiles once and it keeps asking me to input my phone number for some reason and not allowing me to download the file. Mediafire has long been gone from my list ever since your accounts started getting suspended and in my humble opinion, you guys should stop trying to reupload onto it to save the time which can be used on other things. There I've said it, flame me.

Also, maybe you guys can consider recruiting one or two more admins to focus on uploading and updating file links instead of putting everything on your shoulders. The file links are going dead quite often now and I know you guys have your personal lives to look out for too so why not reduce the workload by putting in a few more hands to help out?


Finally, please fix links for EP 79 to 84 and 90 for Oron if possible. I keep getting File Not Found. And please don't ask me to try alternative links, I know which link works (in this case it seems that it's only Depositfiles) and I'm trying hard to access them and download them.

This is my opinion on your views:

1. From Ep 81 onwards, the admins started using Glumbouploads for those files. So far from what I have read is that you only put Oron, Depositfiles, Mediafire, Fibreupload and . You have totally neglected Glumbouploads in this case. You have not even try to download from Glumbouploads yet.

2. Fibreupload: You said most of the links are dead. You are wrong, they are not dead. They are still there intact for the Other Episodes (Reuploads) thread in the Running Man Downloads (Temporary).

3. Jumbofiles: No way it has been asking to input phone numbers (at least to my knowledge). It could be some ads on something on the page.

4. Depositfiles: Yes, it's blocked in Malaysia. Proxy is a way to unblock it but, ever try proxy to the site and download it without proxy? But still my first point stated, you did not try Glumbouploads.

5. Admins Hiring: Not all people can be trusted easily, who knows one day, those people are there to create more trouble for iSUBS? Who's going to be responsible for it? Are you? If those people that were hired decided to do something bad, no one knows ~ My point is that, admins do have their plans on when and where to do the reuploads, if they do need people to help them to reupload the files, they would announce it on their facebook and ask people for help. Till then, please be patient about it. The admins do know that the links are dead here and there, and also if you have read the announcement, the download manager is glitched on the admin side, so nothing can be done to it until a new one is out.

If I have offended you in this reply in any way, please forgive me ~ It's just a penny of my thoughts.

We do have admin/s in charge of reuploading down episodes as their side duties (you don't need an admin to be solely and only responsible for it though) - asking someone to be an admin isn't an easy task either. Sometimes they are busy with their lives, so it doesn't happen straight away. We also ask members for help for those who want to (every so often an admin will ask), and then we give them permission to, especially if there's a mass deletion of files. I also don't recall Jumbofiles asking for phone numbers upon downloading (might be a country by country basis).

At this time of reply, MF has already been updated (again) for ep 90. Use it for now before it gets deleted again as we may not reupload on MF. Other episodes will take time to reupload (imagine uploading all 3 versions for 10+ episodes), please bear with us in the meantime.

First of all, thank you for your timely reply.

1. Regarding Glumbouploads, I might have to clarify my approach to how I download files. I usually if not always download files in 700MB chunks. Only a few instances when the links are down such as EP90 now do I download the 200MB parts. Even so I would download them simultaneously, an option which Glumbouploads does not provide. My priority in downloading is Oron, Fiberupload and finally Depositfiles if all else fails. The reason I chose this path is because I am only able to download them throughout the night. With the 700MB parts, I am able to let the download run while i sleep and wake up to at least 1/3 of the file, assuming 001, 002 and 003. But in the case of Glumbouploads, I can only download them in 200MB (please bear in mind that I'm only downloading the remaining of the episodes EP 79-84) so I would end up with only 1/8 of the file done when I wake up. I won't be able to wait up 1-2 hours for the download to finish and continue to the following part. Needless to say as a Running Man fan, I am eager to catch up with the show, as all of you should know. Thus waiting up to a week to download an episode is a long and painful wait, forgive me of my impatience. I've lost all my downloaded RM videos due to hard disk malfunction and I've spent the past 2 months painstakingly retrieving everything amidst the whole broken links crisis.

2. I know of the fact that fiberupload links are up and running for the Older Episodes thread. I just finished downloading from them last week. I guess I might have made a mistake in expressing myself and should rephrase my statement. What I am trying to download now is EP 79-84, and most of the links there are not up. I was just wondering since Fiberuploads and Glumbouploads were introduced at around the same time, why weren't some links posted up on Fiberuploads. Assuming that they would be in 700MB parts, I would have appreciated that as an alternative to Oron. Also I've found Fiberupload's link for EP 83, the others are work in progress it seems.

3. As for Jumbouploads, I have no idea what is happening too. I'll look up on that. But assuming I've found my error, it'll still land back to number 1 where 200MB parts will take too long for me to download.

4. Downloading without proxy will just prevent the download. The downloads are coming from Depositfile's domain and seeing that the entire Depositfiles domain has been blocked by the country, I have no idea how downloading without proxy will help.

That being said, going back to the topic, I'll still hold preference for Oron and Fiberuploads as my primary choice for download. Glumbouploads will be next only for 700MB parts and if all fail, I guess Depositfiles will be the last resort. I only created this topic to give my preference of download hosts to the admins so that they can cut down on the diverse amount of hosts such as now and save time uploading the files.

Glad you understand it. As a Running Man fan myself, I do know that eagerness to catch up those episodes. As i mention earlier in my post on the proxy part, I'm not sure whether this work, when you proxy to the site itself and download not by proxy, i meant by once you get into the site and the download button is there, click it without the proxy on, that's what I meant.

For Fibreupload, it will be eventually uploaded, but it's work in progress. Don't expect anything to come out too soon (:

Your preference for downloading from the certain hosts are that, but certain members may not have those preferences like yours. I do love iSUBS on how they works, uploading files to different file sharing sites for us, when one fail, the others still work. Not to mention some people downloaded all the parts except one, they can still download from the mirrors to complete it. Hope this answer the last paragraph. More mirrors means more options for the members to download from.

My own 2 cents about downloading stuff....

I figure eventually, the episodes I want to see will show up. I have other things in my life that keep me occupied enough so that I don't get too antsy about waiting for a show to appear on t.v., or on the internet.

I have been downloading the Running Man and Family Outing series from this site, since I joined - the Mediafire place went down not too long after that, but I worked around it using alternate sites. Once that site was down, I tried most of all the other download sites with various degrees of success and of course, some that were complete failures. Lol.. Maknyos or Indowebster, I cant remember which one...once told me it would take 26 days to download 1 hours worth of RM.

Oron has been pretty slow, but not impossible to deal with. Sometimes it took up to 25 hours for all the files of a show to download....and if I didn't time it right, I would miss putting in the Captcha passwords I would have to reload the link and start from that point. Still, eventually I got a lot of the episodes that way.

A lot of the Family Outing episodes were listed with Filefactory not too long ago.
I ended up spending $12 for a 1 month subscription just so I could rapidly download those files. I was pleased with the results from that site. But, before paying, one should pay attention to the choices in payments. There is a special section for a '1 time credit card billing' whereas their main 'pay button' is set up for automatic monthly billing.
I wouldn't be surprised if other sites have similar business methods.

Eventually, I will be able to send some funds to iSubs in appreciation for their work. But I was injured and in a wheelchair for several months at the end of the year and this spring has seen me in physical therapy, and trying to figure out how to pay my bills on a disability check that doesn't come near what my regular paycheck was...(and even that wasn't much). I can barely keep my internet turned on as it is right now. I had turned off my DISH t.v. to try to save money, so for right now, internet shows are it for my video entertainment.

I will probably end up on permanent disability, (I injured my back and my right leg) but still, I hope I can recover enough to at least get a part time desk job of some kind. So hopefully by the end of the year I can contribute something more to this site than just some comments in these threads.

I just also want to say thanks to all of the iSub team, for your all your efforts in subbing and in trying to give us choices in upload sites. It has been mentioned in prior threads that one site might work from some folks, but not for others, or for the iSub team to upload into - so given that, I think they are doing a great job in trying to keep up with it all..

I suppose that sometimes it must seem like no one appreciates them, but that's far from the truth.
Being able to watch subbed versions of Family Outing and Running Man has given me a lot of laughter during a time in my life when I've experienced a lot of pain, limited mobility, and just having a very hard time in finding anything in life enjoyable.

There are worst things in life than slow downloads...keep it in perspective. I'm sure the iSubs team will eventually find ways for people to see these shows.

Thanks iSubs for all the work you do.

Indowebster and Maknyos are file sharing sites for people who live in Indonesia only. Perhaps, that's why you got that message
I myself have tried many other alternatives too after Mediafire suspended iSUBS accounts. Like Stormy said, sometimes I made it, sometimes it just stopped in the middle lol. But fortunately, I use JDownloader as my download manager so I can resume it without have to redownload them all from the beginning (I heard other download managers can do this too). Perhaps, people should consider this as other way to download.

I myself hope that people would stop complaining about Mediafire. It's not iSUBS' fault they suspend their accounts. It's the problem on MF side. Instead of complaining and whining, let's give a try of other alternatives. They're not that bad. Give a chance to try something new, would you?

Last but not least Stormy, I hope all the best for you and your health. I hope you can recover immediately. Get well soon~
