We always meant to advertise, but couldn't find the right words. After 12 years we're probably giving up on ads for good by removing Google and the Meta tracking codes today. It feels lighter at least. 😇
Some of you have been with us since the beginning. As a thank you, from now on, If you signed up 10 years ago AND if you have been a customer for a total of more than 5 years: THE NEXT YEAR IS ON US!
We have completely rewritten our iOS app with Swift 🤓 This update is just a feature parity, but new things are coming soon. (Offline downloads, Chromecast support to name a few) We highly recommend that you update🧐
Folks. With your permission we would like to stop taking crypto currencies other than Bitcoin. (On-chain and over lightning.) What would be the sentiment?
How mad would you be if we got rid of friendships and sharing? It would immensely simplify the product, our code and the UI. It's also used very little. The average user has 0.05 friends.
Since the pandemic, we have been asked a bunch of times to facilitate watch parties. The simplest way we could make this happen was adding an option to our already public “Share with someone special” links.
We're testing a small change that allows you to go over your storage limit when adding a transfer. It blocks the next transfer until free space is made available, but should work for most of the situations where you need to get something large.
Folks, we're not going to increase prices. But for new subscriptions and one-time payments we started to show and add the sales tax that we used to pay out of our own pocket. So if you already have a subscription, don't you dare to lapse!
We started scanning for viruses y’all! Transfers take approximately 9 seconds longer to complete, but we heard downloading a keylogger and having ones bitcoins stolen is a thing now.

Status update about the friendship & sharing feature: After talking to many customers we kinda had cold feet. There were many people depending on their friends shares. We are trying to find a way and yet still simplify the product.
Hey friends. We've got some extremely good t-shirts and tank-tops sitting in a fulfillment center in the US. The rent is killing us, so please buy them at $10 each with free worldwide shipping. Very limited supply.
GO: 🏃♀️🏃🏃♂️
Hi folks! We published a new Android TV app. We have switched from a web-based React app to a React Native one. Although it's still in the early stages, we wanted to release it because it comes with improvements in video streaming. →→→
Folks, it's not going to work out with Cloudflare. We know some of you in the US depend on their performance and we don't want to let you down. There is some more time before our contract ends. We'll try to find great US proxy's. Montreal is already live and doing well.
We secretly set all users proxies to the new CDN we're trying out (
@CDN77com
). Looks like they're outperforming all our routes 🤞🤞🤞 A few of you immediately changed their proxies back. We're wondering whether you had a problem or you just had better speeds with your old routes.
While creating that link, If you choose the “Watch together" option, you can share it with your friends (even if they are not users) and the video will be synchronised between all the browser tabs that have it open.
Thought this was clever: Connecting Telegram and via . You paste a link into Telegram and downloads it. You might even allow your friends to post to that channel.
Checkout if you want to move your files from us to other providers. Heads-up: it will accomplish this by using Github Actions on your behalf. But it works great! Thanks

To use Couchpile with your friends, meet at . If one user feeds it a “Share with someone special” link, you'll be able to watch it together (IMPORTANT: Don't check the “Watch together” box.)
We're trying two more US proxies: NY and LA. If you're close to them, could you please switch, take a look at your download speeds and let us know?
We said goodbye to Cloudflare. It's been a good 5 years, but unfortunately we can't afford that bill anymore.
A while back, we set custom prices for various currencies due to higher taxes in Europe, making them a bit pricier. Then we forgot to monitor them, leading to some odd prices. We're stopping this now and falling back on our payment provider's automatic exchange rates. Apologies.
Okay, please gather around 👨👧👦👨👨👧👦👩👩👧👦👨👩👧👦👨👦: We’re launching a 10TB plan for the collectors 🕵️♀️ among you. It will cost $499 per year, but between Black Friday and Cyber Monday the price will be $399 👀. Links coming ☄️
Folks, we hope to get rid of the following proxy routes soon: Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.
The new CDN (CDN77) is the sister company of the ISP we purchased these servers from. They're using the exact same network.
Hey Roku owners. We have a new Roku channel with a refreshed look and tons of improvements under the hood. (No new features though. For now, it just looks cooler😊)
IMPORTANT: The FCC is hoping Thanksgiving will bury the backlash to their plan to kill
#NetNeutrality
. We can't let that happen. Protests everywhere December 7! Retweet!
There is a new proxy in Utah. Could western US folks give it a try and compare it with Cloudflare? (Which is about to go away) Also compare it with CDN77.
Kudos to Vesputio for adding a transfers page view. (Not the ability to add new transfers though. Nobody is allowed to do that.) Check it out if you’re on iOS:
