Mediafire Starts Blocking FilesTube Search Traffic

File-hosting service Mediafire decided to block all incoming traffic from the popular media search engine FilesTube. Commenting on the move Mediafire’s co-founder explains that it was a logical step as their service was never intended to be indexed in public.

mediafireWith millions of daily visitors FilesTube is among the most frequently visited websites on the Internet.

Founded in 2007, the Polish-operated site is the largest meta-search engine for content hosted on cyberlockers such as Hotfile, 4Shared and Mediafire. FilesTube refers a significant amount of traffic to these sites, but not all of them are very happy about it.

In fact, Mediafire don’t want to be indexed at all, took action to block all incoming traffic from FilesTube last month.

“As a private service MediaFire was never designed to be indexed which is why we don’t have an index,” Mediafire co-founder Tom Langridge explains to TorrentFreak.

“Our meta tags for file access are set to not-indexable and services like Google, Bing and other search engines honor this. FilesTube was not honoring this and thus we were forced to block them.”

While the decision makes sense from Mediafire’s point of view, it would be naive not to relate the recent change to the increased debate about the legality of cyberlockers’ business models. After the Megaupload raids and arrests Mediafire and other file-hosting services have been publicly scrutinized by Hollywood.

Mediafire was among the five cyberlockers labeled as rogue sites by the movie studios recently. Mediafire was quick to refute the allegations and emphasize that they run a perfectly legitimate business.

This week the debate continues when RapidShare published a set of guidelines cyberlockers should follow to deter mass-copyright infringement.

While we assume Mediafire’s recent change is in part aimed at deterring infringement, it is no silver bullet.

The FilesTube block stops users from clicking through to Mediafire, but it doesn’t prevent links being indexed, as FilesTube gathers this information from third-party sources. This means that FilesTube users can still find content on MediaFire, but instead of clicking on a direct link they have to manually paste the URL in their browsers.

FilesTube points out this workaround on their Facebook page.

Update: The article was updated to make clear that Mediafire made these changes last month.

        Warez-bb sux  you can get banned for anything and if your not a top 50 poster then your links will be on page 3 to 5 in 15 to 20 min. How in the hell do you  expect to get downloads when your threads are pushed that far down the ladder that fast. Warez-bb is the most strict forum on the net with 14 to 17 yrs power hungry mods admins

        • Fff

          I have used warezbb for 3 years now and have never had a single virus so please dont make up things here you will be called out.

          The reason why the top 50 posters get all the traffic is that they have made a name for themselves by uploading unique quality material as soon as it hits the servers, in return people say thanks and this keeps there content on the first page. It sounds to me like you just download things and then re up them to try and make commission, you cant expect to get downloads this way, publish something unique and the hits will come.

      Mediafire cannot stop indexing since it is users who have a client installed and should have stopped robots a long time ago instead of now.

        • Darkhog

          Well, there’s also thing that crawler program (bot) must interpret robots.txt wishes – as they are only website’s wishes – and honor them. I can easily write robot in Python that will impersonate itself as popular browser (like FF) and index those sites.

  • 2354235235W

     mediafire has also blocked the referrers from safelinking.net and most warez forums.
    people on forums were required to code their links so that filehosts had no idea where traffic was coming from.
    Unfortunately idiots made scripts for browsers that allowed the links to be clicked instead of copy-pasted and didnt bother to prevent the referer from being sent on their scripts, which started sending the referrers and now results in filehosts doing this

    • Dudeman

      I wouldn’t be surprised if companies trying to “go legit” like RapidShare or MediaFire created or commissioned some of those scripts. It certainly helps them weed out more link sources, since it would enable them to send targeted DMCA takedowns.

    • W5325324532

       I’ve always seen the “referer” as a mild threat to privacy which is why I’ve been using the RefControl addon for Firefox since day one. It should prevent sites from blocking people in this fashion.

  • Fredrika

    A better solution is Linkification, then you can click on the link directly in the Filestube windows(or any other non-clickable URL), instead of copy and pasting:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/linkification/

    One of my most valued add-ons.

    Combined with Open Link In… you can right click any link and open it in background tabs or windows:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in/

    • Dudeman

      Or if you’re using Firefox and you’re already loaded down with too many add-ons, you don’t need Linkify — just highlight the plaintext URL, right-click, and select “Open Link in New Tab” from Firefox’s native context menu.

      • Fredrika

        > “Or if you’re using Firefox and you’re already loaded down with too many add-ons, you don’t need Linkify — just highlight the plaintext URL, right-click, and select “Open Link in New Tab” from Firefox’s native context menu.”

        When was that function added to FF? I thought that possibility was something i got from one of my add-ons? =) Although i haven’t started my FF clean in years so i don’t know what functions that are built in these days, and i’m still on 3.6, since those later versions i’ve tried hog to much memory when you use several hundreds of tabs for days without wanting to restart. I tried 4 and that was a disaster with memory, then i waited until 7 before i got the courage to try again, but that was still worse the 3.6..

        Now i guess i’ll be forced to abandon 3.6 in the next weeks or so, because i read it will be buried soon and receive no further security updates. Have to put my hopes to 11 or 12.. :S

        • Dudeman

          Memory usage, at least on Linux, has gotten much better for me with Firefox 11. And if you still run into problems, you can always go to the bottom of the “about:memory” page and use the “GC” (garbage collect), “CC” (cycle collect), or “Minimize memory usage” buttons to manage things in increasing order of heavy-handedness, which is better than nothing if you can no longer use Firefox 3.x.

          I’m not sure when they finally added “Open Link in…” natively, but it’s been a few major versions.

        • Fredrika

          > “Memory usage, at least on Linux, has gotten much better for me with Firefox 11.”

          Better compared to what version? But maybe 11 finally is the one that can stand up to 3.6 then..

          > “And if you still run into problems, you can always go to the bottom of the “about:memory” page and use the “GC” (garbage collect), “CC” (cycle collect), or “Minimize memory usage” buttons to manage things in increasing order of heavy-handedness, which is better than nothing if you can no longer use Firefox 3.x.”

          Will do when it’s time, guess that’ll be within days or weeks, cause i’m not sticking with 3.6 if they stop sending out security updates.

          > “I’m not sure when they finally added “Open Link in…” natively, but it’s been a few major versions.”

          Ok. I don’t think it’s native in 3.6.

        • Noko

          Dude. Your still use 3.6? You are missing out man. Firefox 11 kicks ass!

        • Fredrika

          > “Dude. Your still use 3.6? You are missing out man.”

          I’m aware, but the way i use my browser not hogging memory is the most important thing, and after two disastrous attempts with first the openly admitted useless 4, and then again with 7, i haven’t gotten around to it in the last couple of months. But it’s getting closer, since Mozilla will shut down support for 3.6.

          > “After you upgrade, do this. right click on any webpage, select inspect element, click 3D on the bar below. Shit Brix!”

          No, not that kind of 3D where you need to wear glasses. It just makes the webpage elements have depth. You can rotate the view and see which element (for example, the comments table, the article section itself, the website’s background) is in the foreground, what order they are arranged, etc. Each “floor” would also have their respective colors.

          > “No, not that kind of 3D where you need to wear glasses.”

          I wasn’t speaking of that kind of 3-D either, although i have horrible memories of that kind of 3-D from TV-Piraterna Ooh Ooh Ooh in the early 80′s. I was speaking of 3-D compared to 2-D in NES, like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.

          I Google’d it and saw images, had a hard time understading what it could be used for first by a normal person browsing, but maybe it could help when you use  Ad-Block or RIP(Rest in Peace) to nuke certain elements that are hard to find the correct DIV or Section holder for?

          I can live with some leak, as long as it isn’t worse than 3.6, which 4 trough 7 was. From 8 and forward i haven’t compared yet, but i’ve decided to try 11, or 12 at the latest.

          Already have Session Manager, an absolute must plugin, when you want restart and open 400 tabs in a couple of different windows, one window at a time.

        • Chameleon87

          @flphpp:disqus   If you’re having problems (like I did) with Firefox using too much RAM (it’s a 32Bit program so in theory it can’t use more than 2GB without bogging down and crashing), try Waterfox. It’s basically Firefox compiled from sourcecode in 64Bit, which allows it to use more than 2GB RAM without getting hiccups like freezing every odd second and crashing a while after the short lockups started.
          Firefox plugins work fine on Waterfox, and it uses the same profile, so all your settings and bookmarks should be the same as in Firefox.

          As a poweruser with around 150 tabs or more open regularly (and hardly ever rebooting), this is absolutely epic.. 

          waterfoxproject.org

        • Dudeman

          Chameleon87: Firefox isn’t a 32-bit program, it’s just that Mozilla only releases a 32-bit version for Windows (unless you want the buggy nightly 64-bit builds for Windows). 64-bit versions of Firefox are available on OS X and Linux.

        Linkification? The link i used goes to 1.3.8, which isn’t for anything beyond 3.6, but there’s an 1.3.9. that works with later versions, and there’s modified versions as well.

    Given the way things are breaking down in the Mega case, these cyberlockers should double down and hold their ground until the case falls apart.   

    The feds overreached, and i think kim dotcom’s going to end up making them pay dearly for it.

    • Anonymous

      True enough when it is not that hard to see that this is a case of market bullying. I am also doubtful that they would try such a raid again what with the Mega case looking doubtful.

      The biggest question though is what has spooked them? A related question then has to be if the US Government is now issuing threats against them?

      If that is true the situation would be ironic when DMCA law empowers Cyberlockers to do this and now it is all racketeering and money laundering? Clearly certain US Government desires would be exceeding the law.

      • http://profiles.google.com/zerianis10 Christopher Kidwell

        Hit the nail on the head with the point about the DMCA. It was SPECIFICALLY meant to protect cyberlockers from overreaches by the police and others trying to make them ‘monitor all files on their systems’ because they realized that it was impossible to do that in the real world.

      Good question. The only conclusion I can come to that makes any sense is that these cyberlockers have people in management who think that kowtowing to the MPAA and RIAA will ‘prevent problems’.
      In other words, they are milquetoast asses who like to ‘bend over’ whenever someone tells them to.

        Google Play won’t upload to my tablet because I didn’t connect the device for the first time via the app. Also, the market is blocked at the root level so even then it won’t work. So far nobody has rooted my specific device. Will try the other ones though, thanks.

    Life is getting very strange in the Cyberlocker world these when here is Mediafire doing attempted suicide.

    Success goes hand in hand with popularity. Do not media creators use their service to distribute their creation to the world? Would they therefore not want their media to be searchable and indexed?

    Well they will lose visitors for sure and resulting paying customers but there you go. Still it is not hard to bypass their block of FilesTube like in Chrome just highlight the link, right click, and select Go To.

      Not that strange. Rapidshare shot everyone in the foot when releasing those guidelines, they amount to an admission that the community isn’t doing enough/could do more to combat copyright infringement.

      The only options these services have are suicide, not making these changes will be just as harmful. Better to raise the chances of your business continuing to earn money in the future than doing nothing and having your assets kimdotcom’d.

    Also if you have Firefox browser add-ons like “Change Referrer Button” and / or “Text Link”, you don’t even have to copy/paste. “Text Link” allows you to just double click any non-hyperlinked URL text and it opens the link in a new tab or window.

  • Kebab

    There is one thing that I don’t like in MediaFire and I believe this should be changed. When you upload a file to your account, it’s automatically set to “public”, which automatically makes it possible for external users (using such search engines like FilesTube) to download your content without you wanting them to do so. For example I made a backup of an album that I bought a while ago. Later I looked at my statistics and saw that my download-traffic has dramatically increased. I wondered why so I started looking at my files and their statistics. For my surprise they were all set to public and I was unwillingly involved in pirating copyright protected contents. And I will presume that I’m not the only one, who has fallen in this not so obvious trap. So this should be change. Private content can’t be downloaded from others.

    • http://profiles.google.com/zerianis10 Christopher Kidwell

      Hey, learn how to use the damned site. The fact is that it should NOT be private automatically for various reasons, number one being if you lose your log-in information or forget it.

  • Chameleon87

    So.. what’s the loss here? Copypasta the link or use browser addons if you want and you’re done.

    IMO, there’s no point in this really, as most (~80%) of the mediafire links I’ve found on filestube recently were dead anyways (files deleted by MF or accounts closed like they did with mine with no infringing content on it whatsoever)

    Just about the only stuff that survives there is passworded. Good luck finding that PW through filestube.. most of the “source links” are utterly useless or dead.

    Also.. filestube comments have been spammed recently with fake mediafire links (mediLafire.com) which is pretty annoying.. and they don’t seem to care (there’s no way to flag comments.. heck.. there’s not even a way to flag files if they’re malware or something..)

  • Guest

    Search traffic or not, Mega’s case has proven that it doesn’t matter if you’re a cyberlocker.

    If search functions exist the RIAA will insist that the cyberlocker allows users to search for pirated material and count it against the cyberlocker.

    If search functions do not exist the RIAA will complain that the cyberlocker doesn’t allow rightsholders to look for their material and demand its deletion.

    Either way the cyberlocker loses.
