Shoot! I have all my alt links on Mediafire. 
Guess I better make sure I have copies of those files, if they're still there.

I can understand Medaupload being closed. Because they promoting illegal downloading all the time. Anytime I typed in a TV show I got Megaupload pop up with a download; they were too commercial.
But not every person uses these sites for illegal downloading sharing. They use it to upload videos of their kids or videos THEY did. |

That's exactly right, Brooke.
I used my Mediafire not just for alternate vid links but also to share personal videos with family/friends who didn't have Youtube accounts.
Sadly everyone gets punished for the actions of those who misused these sites and gave them a bad name.
