=== TeamOS === While this is not really a file host, rather a forum, it is a place for people to share Windows ISOs, the some of which are crusty bootlegs. It has been active since 2014. Most of the bootlegs, and the isos entirely, are distributed via torrent. TeamOS has a system called "hit and run", where if your torrent client starts downloading (a "hit") and immediately stops seeding after a successful download (a "run") you get a "hit and run". Too many hit and runs disables your account's ability to download torrents. Aside from the Registered Users section, almost all of the bootlegs on here are distributed via torrent. Per site rules, you must seed these torrents for 72 hours (3 days) or else you will receive a "hit and run" infraction. Receiving too many in too short a timespan will disable your account. In addition, you will also need to watch your "ratio", which is determined by how many GB you've downloaded and uploaded. Downloading too much without uploading will also result in a penalty, and going below 0.4 disables your ability to download torrents completely until it goes back up. There are two ways to get the ratio up: uploading a torrent to other users, OR by redeeming "uploaded" GB with a "seed bonus", which you get for simply seeding a torrent. A good method for getting a very high ratio is to download and seed a dozen or so small (1-50 MB) torrents and redeeming the seed bonus every day. Threads labeled "freeleech" don't count towards GB downloaded, so if your ratio is getting low, you can download these and get it back up.
