OSHI-!

Aww... I'll miss getting all the uber cool stuff from them.

Except that OnLive is completely different to filefront, OnLive is a system for gaming that negates the need for any power of the local client, instead putting all the strain on the connection, allowing mass production of simple and cheap thin clients that can still play modern games.

Filefront is a hosting website.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

Wow..... that means Everyone playing is running on the OnLive servers, which means heavy input lag, getting booted for new players.

And of course, me getting 10,000 people to play crysis on it all at once.

This reeeeeaaally sucks...

Reliable site with tons of great stuff in it. DAMN!

We truly need another one.

please, no one even speak of fileplanet.

they suck.

yeah, i have alot of files from them, and they've got a crapload of files unique to them...

Filefront was a terrible host that hosted terrible garbage.

Megaupload/sendspace is 100x better.

Did it really? Wonder why I and many others never saw that..

Only thing what I can say is bad in FileFront was the bad file name order, they wasn't really in alphabet order..

I don't quite understand your post Miles... except the lag bit, well this is a video that describe what the actual service is: http://www.destructoid.com/gdc-09-playi ... 6223.phtml

to sum up the first ten minutes:
woo technology, regular video compression laggy, our compression method is not laggy, the latency for the video information to be compressed is just "one millisecond", "runs on entry level pcs, macs & tv" required connection bandwidth: "-SDTV 1.5Mbps" "-HDTV 5Mbps".
Then he actually starts using the program after that

Really? That sucks. It is the best file sharing site out there.

*sigh*

Guess I'll have to fall back to fileplanet...

HERETIC! BURN THE UNBELIEVER!

I'm sure that the major issue is the speed of light.

You get about a latency*2 amount of lag between controller input and screen return.
From what I've heard, it seems like they have claimed to beat the speed of light with some "trademark algorithm".
Bandwidth != Latency.
Compression boosts bandwidth.
Not latency.
Beating Latency to >1ms as they claim would require putting the server in the area of the player's own home. Or using quantum devices.

For my file sharing, I just use mediafire. It's slow at upload, but okay at download. Not as fast as filefront, but an okay replacement.

Mediafire doesn't have everything organized and easily searchable, though.

Fileplanet kicks Filefront's ass, any day.

If you bother to pay $3 a month for access to almost everything, that is

Fileplanet is like the Runescape of MMOs and Filefront is like the World of Warcraft. i hope it comes back soon.

Translated from internet idiot to English/American:

Fileplanet is to file hosting sites what Runescape is to MMOs, and Filefront is like the World of Warcraft, except free. And fun. And useful. I hope it comes back soon.
