Subscription to "Download Everything" site

[LabVIEWguru]

I see pages on sites like Avaxhome for "Download Everything" sites like Zevera. You purchase their subscription and download from dozens of subscription sites. It is supposed to be fast and transparent.

Does anyone have any experience with these sites? Are they credit card harvesting sites?

Thanks

No personal experience, but they seem not to be a total scam and try to offer what they promise. But they are far from perfect according to a discussion on http://www.wjunction.com/5-general-discussion/127463-zevera-my-personal-rating.html

Come on, Sarah. All of the comments on your link say it's CRAP. Don't mislead people who may not click your link.

I know someone who actually subscribed to zevera.
I believe he do not renew after the initial subscription.

Apparently the links to downloads are very unreliable, many time the site reports that the file is not available where direct download  shows that there are no problem with the file.
Also most downloads are really slow.

Personally, I do not like their business philosophy but who am I to argue?

Thank you for your responses. Many of the larger sites (upload.to) do not accept paypal and I don't want to give some unseen person in another country a credit card number. I looked into the "rechargeable" VISA cards, but they now want just as much information as if it were a bank card. I looked into paysafe, but here in the US all the vendors they list say they have never heard of paysafe. I emailed paysafe and they basically just said "Oh well." I asked for a verified vendor, someone that actually sold their product, and they never returned my email.

Prepaid Visa card at Target if you want to try things out. No info at all, just pay and leave. You can't top it up from what I know.

FWIW, I use Alldebrid.  ( Prepaid Visa)
It's hit and miss. I'd ay that roughly 85% of the links work on any given day.  Sometimes it takes 2 or three tries to build a full set of links using their servers.  I don't see the other similar/multi cyberlocker providers being any different.
Truth be told, I use my NL (prepaid Visa) account far more than my Alldebrid account as it's painless.  ( especially since all my traffic is VPN ( paid with BTC) and Alldebrid don't like VPN's for some strange reason)
For the odd time that I can't find NL links, it does come in handy, in addition Alldebrid will do torrents for you, so you have some isolation from the torrent police.
