Only Old Movies - ultimate source for the very best known and beloved collection of classic movies

Recent filehosting issues and future of this site…

As most of you probably already know it, last week left us witnesses of one of the biggest 1-click filehosters turmoil in their history. Megaupload has been shut down, and two other major players, Filesonic and Fileserve, which unfortunately I have been using for last couple of months, essentially stopped their services, by not allowing sharing the files with anyone but original uploader and closing account due to copyright infrigements.

It lefts site’s latest submissions virtually useless, as Filesonic main links are not working, additional Fileserve mirror files neither, with Hotfile links in place. In that situation none of these movies can be fully downloaded and only working sets are either Hotfile or Rapidshare links, where existing and not removed before.

As the situation is tense and future uncertain, for the time being, there will be no new submissions or any links replacements, until the dust settles and more light is shed on the whole situation. If situation gets cleared and filehosters get to the terms, I will make further decisions on future of this project, accordingly to the situation.

For any further info, please visit the site in future, any announcements will be posted here.
