UGotFile plays in the same division as most other actors, economically, with payouts of up top $10 / 1000 downloads. You do however need a premium account to use all their services, like the remote uploader. The web-based one works fine, though, and the landing page for your users is quite decent.

DepositFiles pays up to $10 / 1000 downloads. They have a relatively clean “landing page” for your users which is a huge plus in my book. They offer a web interface for uploading as well as FTP. Is it legit? I think so. What’s your experience?

ShareCash is probably the one with the highest pay rates. They pay up to 60 cents per download, which to be honest is way more than any other service. The drawback is that it works kind off badly for other countries than the UK, Canada and the US, and requires your visitor to fulfill various actions. Still, with a payout rate as large as that, it’s worth giving it a go- two completed downloads and you’ve earned a buck. A quick search shows that they actually do pay, even if it sounds a bit too-good-to-be-true. Payout via check, PayPal and ePassporte.
EDIT: I’m not really sure about this one. There’s something fishy about it. What’s your experience?

Uploading don’t offer as high rates as ShareCash, but works very well in my experience. They pay up to $20 / 1000 downloads. This service works with many different countries, and has worked great for me. Highly recommended- I’m not entirely sure if their statistics are right, though.

Ziddu is probably the largest actor / file host. Payout via PayPal and MoneyBookers. The payout rate is quite low, at $0,001 / download ($1 / 1000 downloads). It does however both look and feel more professional than the others.

This website was created to help creatives and content creators monetize their work through new services and ideas. I found it hard to grasp what sites were scams and what sites were legit. Please note, I do this to help creators distribute their content. I strongly believe authors should be respected for their work and I do not believe redistributing others works as your own is OK. Create something yourself, it'll make you feel good too.
Good luck, Erik, paidfilesharing.com
