| Retention | Free tier published table: max upload file size 'Unlimited', download volume 'Unlimited', storage column '-' (no storage cap published), files deleted 50 days after last download (50 days) |
| Egress | 'Download volume: Unlimited' on the free row; direct fs430.uploadhive.com/cgi-bin/dl.cgi/<key>/<name> links |
| Identity | institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: r FAQ (direct dl.cgi links resolved but were IP-gated); no API key needed for anonymous upload anonymous-dump |
| Limits |
unlimited per file; 50 days after last download for free; no API key needed for anonymous upload |
| Binding | retention-clamped a clock, not a quota: bytes leave whether or not the client is finished with them |
| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | XFileSharing Pro family (sibsoft.net/xfilesharing.html) — same shape as ~hundreds of hosts, so one client works across all of them; discovery is GET /server -> {"url":"https://fs430.uploadhive.com/cgi-bin"} then POST upload.cgi with utype=anon; also used by PolyUploader (github.com/spel987/PolyUploader) |
| Composes with | 3 layers: (a) files per host carry no stated limit, (b) 50-day retention resets on download so a periodic re-fetch keeps data alive indefinitely, (c) the whole XFileSharing family is the multiplier — each host takes one free registration with its own 100s-of-GB-to-2TB pool (see UpZur/FileAxa/Mega4up entries) |
| Reliability | dl.cgi returned 'Wrong IP' on every download attempt regardless of referer/cookies — downloads appear bound to the uploading IP, so a distributed fetch layer needs matching egress IPs |
