oldshepp:
Rapidshare obviously standing tall at the moment
Mediafire is located in the U.S. so any suspect files are immediately deleted
Hotfile in the same boat as MF

Here's a couple to consider ???

bayfiles.com
narod.ru (no waiting time and parallel downloads apparently)
rghost.ru
ifolder.ru
ifile.it

screamin:
Maybe time to head back to the good old FTP servers

relaxmax:
Fileserve up again in limited capacity - most older links gone

MPAA Targets Fileserve, MediaFire, Wupload, Putlocker and Depositfiles

It is no secret that the MPAA was a main facilitators of the criminal investigation against MegaUpload. But while the movie studios have praised the actions of the US Government, they are not satisfied yet. Paramount Pictures' vice president for worldwide content protection identified FileServe, MediaFire, Wupload, Putlocker and DepositFiles as prime targets that should be shuttered next.

The file-hosting business has been in a permanent state of chaos since the MegaUpload shutdown in January. Many sites were quick to remove their affiliate programs and some went as far as blocking visitors from the US entirely.

It's clear that site owners are concerned that their business might become a target, and if it’s up to the major movie studios this fear is justified. ''We continue to make criminal referrals,'' Paramount Pictures' Alfred Perry said during the On Copyright conference in New York yesterday.

CNET reports that the Paramount Pictures produced a list of five ''rogue'' file-hosters, presented in a fancy graphic where Megaupload is crossed out. The prime targets on this shutdown list are Fileserve, MediaFire, Wupload, Putlocker and Depositfiles.

         

The movie studio claims that these ''rogue'' cyberlockers receive 41 billion page views a year, which translates to five views for every person on the planet.

Whether the Department of Justice will act on new referrals from the movie studios has yet to be seen. For now they have their hands full with MegaUpload.
