Friday arrived just in time for another Rapidshare alternative, don’t you think? Today, I’m feelin’ really lucky, and this has nothing to do with the weekend. Obviously, it’s gotta have something to do with Badongo, today’s subject, so let’s see what should you know about it, shall we?
If it wouldn’t have some of the “features” I really hate to encounter when using such services, Badongo would be almost perfect. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly close to perfection as I write this. Even more, this has nothing to do with its speed, but let’s leave that part aside now and see why should you try Badongo!
As it happens with most similar services these days, there’s no need to have an account to use Badongo for a quick file upload. All you have to do is go to Badongo.com, press that nice Upload Files button, choose to continue without creating an account, browse for the file to upload (1 GB size limit, but you can upload as many as you wish, of course), enter a description, if you think that’s really necessary, then – finally – press the Start Upload button. After a while, your upload will be complete and you’ll be able to send the download link to your friends, who will have to enter captcha text and then wait for a countdown to reach 0…
… and this takes us to one of the reasons for creating a free account – the file search capability, with over 10 million files available at this time, it seems. Additional goodies are available to users who purchase a Premium account, who will forget about waiting, captchas, download restrictions or files deleted due to inactivity. Obviously, there’s much more to get as a Premium user, but you can discover all that on the official page, of course!
My final words? For me, using the service without even registering for a free account, speed was below average, but the overall experience was good. Unfortunately, Badongo can’t be used properly in Opera, so I had to move to Maxthon to play with it… Surely worthy of a try and a free registration, not bad at all when it comes to Premium stuff – $49.95 for a 12 month membership, this is Badongo – this week’s Rapidshare alternative. Have a nice weekend, I know for sure I will!
