I do not understand why everyone is bitching and hating oron. I go to many other boards and they all bash Oron..do not want people to use it for some reason. I do not understand what the problem is. Is there some sort of BASH A HOSTER contest going on or something? Confused

Most of the people who hate oron are people who refuse to get a premium account. They claim they don't want to "pay for porn" but really, that's what they are doing by not having a premium account. And I'm not just talking about oron.

Let's say Oron costs you $8 a month. If you don't dl a lot of stuff, then it's probably not worth getting. No premium service is. But if you do dl a lot, or even a moderate amount, then you waste a lot of your time downloading with a free account. If people tallied up how much time they spend waiting for downloads to begin, and add in the fact that you can't do parallel downloads without a premium account, that time would earn them far more money than $8 a month if they used it to do a job of some sort. Just how much is an hour of free time worth to you?

Think of it this way. If someone is willing to mow your yard for $2, are you going to say 'no' because you don't want to pay for yard work that you can do for free? Avoiding an hour of work for $2 seems like a steal to me. And the amount of time I save by not screwing around with a free account more than makes up the money I spend on a premium account. Which is why I have premium accounts to 3 different services.

There are legitimate reasons some people dislike Oron. Some people are still upset with how oron made it's introduction here. Fair enough. But there are legitimate reasons for some people to dislike all of the other services, too. In the past, most of the hate was directed at rapidshare and it's point whores. They were the scourge of the internet despite being the main service to bring 'free' porn to people.

Then there are those purists who think people should be willing to spend their free time finding porn, uploading porn, and then posting porn and expect nothing in return. The idea that someone might be somewhat compensated for their efforts is sacrilege to them! Despite posting at least 500 gigs of stuff here, some people still feel I should post more to their liking, which means either posting larger files or reposting with a service they like more than oron. They aren't willing to spend their money to make dl easier but they have no problem expecting me to spend my time/money making it easier for them to dl!

Oops, I'm ranting now.

I can't download from Oron, it's as simple as that. A lot of people say that's because of the UK government or whatever, but it only affects Oron.

And I know for a fact that if people in the UK - OK, Ireland for sure - buy a premium account they can download like the rest of the civilized world. Very Happy

Oron is slow compared to any and every other host. They over sell capacity and are total pricks when you contact support, treating you like you don't know what you're doing.

I have frequent time outs with Oron, something I've never had with any of the other major hosts.

So why do people hate Oron ? For plenty of very good reasons, well beyond the stupidity of those who just want everything for free.

I wonder if you are a premium account holder? Every premium account holder I know is treated with the best dignity and most respect and fast courteous help there is .

I already have premium accounts for two other file hosts, I don't want to join another as most other forums I'm on don't seem to rely on Oron like you guys do here. I'm not sure it would even work even if I upgraded?

I have an account with oron & I can upload, but not download. It just wont let me. I have even changed my browser twice to try & cure the problem. I can download without problems anywhere else except there. All I keep getting is Session expired. I'm demanding my money back and I thought Rapidsh*te was bad enough. Sad Sad Sad Update. I've just managed to start a download, but as its 101 megs its going to take 15 mins. I normally download a 1GB film in 30 - 35 mins Crying or Very sad Rapidshare is much faster and free Sad
