- identity: institution
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): deleted 50 days [1]
- limits note: unlimited per file; 50 days after last download for free; no API key needed for anonymous upload
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: XFileSharing Pro family (sibsoft.net/xfilesharing.html) — same shape as ~hundreds of hosts, so one client works across all of them; discovery is GET /server -> {"url":"https://fs430.uploadhive.com/cgi-bin"} then POST upload.cgi with utype=anon; also used by PolyUploader (github.com/spel987/PolyUploader)
- composes with: 3 layers: (a) files per host carry no stated limit, (b) 50-day retention resets on download so a periodic re-fetch keeps data alive indefinitely, (c) the whole XFileSharing family is the multiplier — each host takes one free registration with its own 100s-of-GB-to-2TB pool (see UpZur/FileAxa/Mega4up entries)
- reliability: dl.cgi returned 'Wrong IP' on every download attempt regardless of referer/cookies — downloads appear bound to the uploading IP, so a distributed fetch layer needs matching egress IPs
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence:
