    unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.

    Looking into my crystal ball…

    I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.

        Nah, that will come 3 months later when to keep providing a world class service they will have to discontinue the free accounts.

        But don’t worry, they will give existing customers great upgrade deals.
