== Active sites ==
===
Not to be confused with 4shared. Vietnamese file upload site. The speeds aren't great and there aren't a lot of bootlegs here, but worth checking if you have an ISO name.
MediaFire is still active with lots of files, however, Microsoft bots are known to scan the website for ISOs and submit DMCA claims on them, so its not extraordinarily common to find links that work. ▼
===
Still online as of
=== GOZO Finder ===
Not technically a file host, but this website searches UlozTo 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 ===
=== Internet Archive ===
Internet Archive, AKA archive.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the internet since 1996. While it is not really used for archival anymore, you can find some interesting ISOs there. We usually don't accept most of the ISOs found on here, due to the majority of them including but not limited to Windows Never Released projects and small ISOs ("lite" ISOs), therefore it is very common for people (the majority of which, are children) to upload their Windows Vista recolours/theme.
=== MediaFire ===

=== MEGA ===
MEGA is free to download from and semi-common for bootlegs, however it has a 5GB/day download limit. To get around this you can use [https://github.com/tonikelope/megabasterd megabasterd]. However, MEGA is known to remove Windows ISOs and take the account that uploaded it along with it.
=== SendSpace ===
Still online as of August 14, 2023. Most old files seem to be purged though.
=== TeamOS ===
There are two ways to get the ratio up: uploading a torrent to other users, OR by redeeming upload credits 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.
=== Yandex Disk ===
Very active cloud storage service. Somewhat common for modern Russian bootlegs, alongside torrents and TurboBit. If you're looking for a Russian bootleg, searching on Yandex should be your first stop.
