filester has been kinda slow for me lately, both for downloading and uploading, although not 8 hours for 2gb slow :monkaX: but it's the price we have to pay for a reliable host, since pixeldrain is very trigger happy on takedown request.
it does seem to vary though so idk if it's a routing issue, in which case a vpn could help, haven't tested it that much tbh usually it's just fast enough that it's not an issue.
