Mediafire is a file hosting service with file synchronisation features. It launched around June 2006.[1]
On December 18 2020, users reported that they began receiving emails from MediaFire how they plan to classify accounts as abandoned if they fail to meet certain criteria, starting in January.[2] This policy, however, had been in effect for many years prior, as later confirmed by MediaFire.[3]

How to help if you have lists of URLs
This project requires lists of URLs for content on the target website. If you have a source of URLs, please:
- Use the regular expression
(mediafire\.com|mfi\.re)\S+for filtering.- Note that this regex is intentionally broad to cover many different URL formats. Please do not try to use a more narrow pattern as it may miss valid URLs. We can always filter or transform the results as needed later.
- If you use
grep, remember to include the-a(aka--texton GNU grep) option to ensure it will continue searching for matches when encountering binary data. - Example command (GNU grep):
grep -Pahoi '(mediafire\.com|mfi\.re)\S+' FILENAME FILENAME...
- If the output exceeds a few megabytes, please compress it, preferably using
zstd -10. - Upload the file to https://transfer.archivete.am/.
- Share the resulting URL in the project IRC channel.
- If you would like to keep the list non-public instead, e.g. for privacy reasons or for not wanting to be publicly associated with it, please get in touch with a channel op (e.g. User:Arkiver or User:JustAnotherArchivist). Note that the items generated from your list would still be processed publicly, of course, but they would be mixed with everything else.
