[Discussion] Wupload == Filesonic

[viruz99]

Alright Guys ,

There have been numerous rumors that Wupload & Filesonic are owned by the same company. Well nobody really cared as long as both were doing fine but now with the Wupload crisis - I guess its time to verify whether those rumors are valid or not .

If anyone has any ''proofs'' that Wupload is affiliated with Filesonic in any way , post it below .


Please keep trolling to a minimum and no bashing WU/FSC without any ''proofs'' else i'll request this topic to be deleted .


Edit : Further Development [Verified by Mods]

There has been some speculation by an Ex Super-moderator a while back that Hish = Willy ,
Well its been verified by atleast 2 Mod/S.Mod today that their IP matches + the system was flagged that Filesonic Hish was Using Multiple Accounts i.e Willy Wupload

Its a bit extreme but that's what the logs show.


Edit : Moderation

Well this topic might have gone a bit out of hand - will ask a MOD to clean some posts later on .

It was created to determine whether the rumors that Wupload & Filesonic was part of the same company ( that has already been established ) ,

Like Fileserve > Uploadstation > Filejungle etc....

the other part that Willy Wupload = Filesonic Hish only came up later on - Well i'm still waiting for the mods to get permission to repost the proof but nyway doesn't really matter .


* This topic was not created in any way to Bash Filesonic / Wupload / Hish / Willy - just to verify a widely spread rumor that Filesonic = Wupload that's all

Willy is Hish's cousin
This week, when wupload was down, sometimes it re-directed to Filesonic

[viruz99]

Yep i'm aware of that - a few other users reported this redirect issue

A server expert may be able to comment on how this happened . My guess it was a DNS issue or server misconfiguration if both sites were hosted on the same server.

[viruz99]

Well both Willy & Hish claims that Wupload & Filesonic are NOT affiliated with each other so.....

Anyway i just want to know the truth as if those rumors are valid - its highly possible that filesonic might do the same thing in the future.

of course they don't admit it ,but everyone knows they are owned by same one,i have see more than once wu redirect to fsc

[soft2050]

They are using similar script
Wupload -- > http://api.wupload.com/upload
Filesonic -- > http://api.filesonic.com/upload

Even the actual upload works same other then changing the url

Also remote upload fro WU to FS was instant, you just add FS links on WU and click on Remote Upload, Poof, it was done, within a second, that means they got something that just mirrors the item from the servers.

[pro]

i got abuse mails from both at the same time.

fs = willy

willy = dead monkey => fs will die soon

I "suspect" that they are the same person (that is only a suspicion and not an accusation before anybody starts).
