Also just to be sure: You are aware of the 10.0 GB transfer limit at Pxldr, right?
Sure do.

For me the issue is upload speed, feels like it's restricted.
Download speed is still good.

This is why I have not posted any links on pixeldrain lately.

Ah, didn't read "upload" speed... I just read speed in general. Nevertheless, good to know.

By the way, have you tried the kraken host to see if that's better for your needs?

Krakenfiles upload speed is ok, but more than 50% of the downloads are at DIAL-UP speed.
They used to be good, until they introduced their PREMIUM service, it was all downhill from there.

You can upload to Pxldr as much as you like with the maximum speed of your provider. But there are restrictions on downloading from Pxldr 10GB per day without a download speed limit, if more than 10GB then the download speed limit is 1mb per second, I didn’t measure how much you can download at that speed, but you can definitely download more than 5GB. Total with Pxldr you can download 10GB + 5GB = 15GB per day

Which method do you use to upload there? I've tried curl - T abcd.ef
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
but it only gives file id not the complete url.

Its only going to return the ID with curl, you just need to combine that with

to get the file url.

I take it a step further and verify the upload ever since they had issues with certain servers not working:

{fileID}/info

so my output looks like:
Upload: {"id":"XDfVhWTS"}

My upload speed to Pixeldrain has been capped for well over a month now.
I'm talking 150-300 kb/s max, which is total shit.

Use a VPN and I get full speed again ... hence why I rarely use that host now.
On downloading it's similar, without VPN files take AGES to start, often drop to 0 and go slow.
VPN download = instant download, full speed.

Could your ISP somehow throttle your connection to pixeldrain? or maybe pixeldrain throttling connection from your IP, which would explain why the speed is faster when using VPN

I use a web browser to upload.
for downloading JDownloader (no more than 10gb) if more than 10gb then download via web browser

Yeah one or the other seems to be happening, it's such a pain!
It worked fine when I had a PRO account on pixeldrain .. but afterwards it all went to shit for me.

Anyone know whether

is gone for good, or whether they're just transitioning to a more sustainable business model or something?

It's been offline for what, 20+ days now? I don't think it's coming back.

Yep same here.
It's been slow to upload for months.
Even with a paid account the upload speed is still crap! (just allows me to download more)

Here are 10 popular alternatives for you to try:

I think everyone knows this, but it's worth testing.

The data centres for Uptobox got raided, host is currently offline.

Will there be a good alternative? Uptobox was a huge backup place to go when I was behind with downloads , now its gone . Hope scnlog.me will add something similar host to replace it. Rip upto.
