Kickload.com also died in early 2012 for also unknown reasons. Domain expiry?
 
=== AnonFiles.com, +and others ===
All dead. Shut down on August 16th, 2023 due to extreme volumes of users abusing the service and their proxy provider shutting them down. Other sites that AnonFiles manages (like FileChan and BayFiles) went down with it.
 
== Premium sites ==
=== Chomikuj ===
Chomikuj is a file sharing website based in Poland. There's a lot of bootleg ISOs here (mostly Windows XP and 7), but you'll have to pony up the money and buy download points if you want to download more than 1 MB (50 MB if you register an account). Of course, it isn't a normal website where you can use PayPal to buy the points, or anything like that. Instead, the site seems specifically designed to make it next to impossible for anyone who isn't Polish to give them money, making bootlegs from here hard to obtain even if you're willing to pay up.
 
Fortunately, there are a few options:
 
=== GOZO Finder ===
Not technically a file host, but this website searches UlozTouloz.to along with a few others. Windows XP and Windows 7 bootlegs aren't uncommon here - this site should be one of your first stops when hunting for one.
 
=== Google Drive ===
 
=== MediaFire ===
MediaFire is still active with lots of files, however, Microsoft bots are known to scan the website for ISOs and submit DMCA claims onto get them taken down, ''sometimes right when you download the file'', so itsit's not extraordinarily common to find links that work.
 
=== MEGA ===
