Approved Hosts & Banned Hosts

Anyone having trouble with this host pics4you.net.

Just tried it out, and yes, from my experience, this host is horrific. Without an adblocker, I wasn't actually able to view an image as each click on continue to image would just spawn more ads, new tabs. I did have hope after 15 clicks when the thumbnail appeared, but clicking on it just reset the process.

With Adblock on, it presents multiple prompts with obscured thumbnails that displays the image after 5 to 6 clicks.
So this, multiple times...


Also, as suspected, it's a monetized host, which I do believe is another strike against it in terms of the acceptable use policy here.

Anyone having trouble with this host pics4you.net. All this posters new sets are on this awful host. Huge amount of popups if you haven't got a blocker and image takes several clicks just to view normal size.

Even states on its site "You may need to click on the zoom a few times, be persistent" Yeah persistent in getting more ads.

pics4you.net is not an authorized image host. The OP has been told to reupload his sets on an authorized image host.

Banned it. The first link I tried presented a message I needed to download an extension to access the website.

Since it's the second ban in just over a month for that host, I'll let it stay for the time being.

Why do you still have some depfile links in here?!

They're kept for posterity and these posts may still have attached images users may want to see or keywords, filenames of rare porn content.

Another day, another hoster experience. I'm just reporting them as I come across them.

Upfiles.com . My experience, others may vary. Unable to download files at all.

Tested in Firefox as well as Edge. Adblocker off. Tested via this post as well as others.

Without Ublock enabled, I was unable to get a download option.

Initial page loads. Multiple ads, most with a blue "Download" button attached as part of the ad.
The only other interaction is a smaller Continue button.
Once the Continue button is clicked, it spawns a new tab which asks the user to Allow Notifications to continue.
If you navigate back to the download tab, and try again, cycle repeats itself. I gave up after 10 tab opens, and no download option.

With Ublock orgin enabled, clicking continue spawns captcha, and a small timer and an actual Download button.
Clicking on Download results in a "Secure Connection Failed" & Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT message.
I was able to reproduce issue across multiple IP's. Same experience VPN on and off.
