Megaupload

Megaupload Ltd. was a Hong Kong-based online company created by Kim Dotcom on March 21, 2005. It was shut down on January 19, 2012.

Why It Megasucked

 * 1) The site had absolutely no quality control at all. Anything could be uploaded on there with no consequence for doing so.
 * 2) It was an example of a site that suffered from anonymous user usage, because anyone could upload files without the need to sign up for an account.
 * 3) Terrible file-finding issues.
 * 4) Digital piracy was rampant (it was one of the top 3 websites that was classified as piracy sites in 2011, along with Megavideo and RapidShare), and the site put barely any effort in preventing it. You could infringe copyright without risking having your account suspended.
 * 5) One of their related smaller websites, called Megavideo was not very well used. It had time-limits for non-members, leading to constant abuse of proxies such as proxy servers or Rabb.it as they were IP-based.
 * 6) Most of their smaller websites were not very well implemented and are often beated by larger competitors.
 * 7) Despite being based in Hong Kong, users with Hong Kong IP addresses were banned from 2009 and onwards.
 * 8) *It was also blocked in several other countries before being seized by the USDOJ, including India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It was good for sharing files.
 * 2) Its successor, MEGA, is a huge improvement over this website, despite its issues.
