Well after living in Japan anyone can see yahoo has a "monopoly" in the internet industry. their search engine is most likely to be tyhe best one when it comes to major engines and localization of the language, i myself never really searched for things in japanese nor am i partial to yahoo, but the ISP and mail accounts online in japan are dominated by yahoo.
about five years ago a friend turned me to streamload for file sharing. I tried it out and didn't like the fact that i had to get people to send the files to me through unaffiliated forums, so I quit. However a year later, I was going to Australia for an unknown amount of time, but i couldn't Bing my HD. I turned to streamload once again but this time for file hosting. Now I use it for file sharing, and back-ups when I need to (currently in Japan, so it helped a lot.)
Their new service is a little buggy still but over all Streamload is the way i would go. It is cheap as follows:
- Basic Account - $4.95/month or $44.95/year
- Unlimited Storage
Download Up
to 2 GB/mo.
- Standard Account $9.95/month or $99.95/year
- Unlimited Storage
Download Up
to 25 GB/mo.
and it goes all the way up too:
Premium Account $39.95/month or $399.95/year
- Unlimited Storage
Download Up
to 100 GB/mo.
Or even terrabytes for businesses (a state university in America, I believe, Uses a fair percentage of streamload)
http://streamload.com/
Stremaload also allows you to host files for people that do not have Streamload accounts. The downloads are cheap and the uploads are quick. (By the way. My streamload account has more then 40 terrabytes of things that i can download.)
