LinkSnappy is one of the oldest multiple hosters on the market, along with Premiumize.me, Premium.to (formerly Premium4.me), Real-Debrid, AllDebrid and Zevera; according to their own information, they have been around since 2010. Although LinkSnappy also started out as a file hoster, the focus is still primarily on filehosts, unlike some competitors who have greatly expanded their services, often to the annoyance of filehosters. Torrent downloads are also offered, but obviously filehosters are still the main focus.

The name LinkSnappy has always been a familiar one to me, but the relatively high prices have always put me off immediately in the past, so this provider has somehow fallen into oblivion for me. That's why I'm now all the more excited to see what LinkSnappy has to offer. After all, it supports many of the most popular filehosts that you won't find anywhere else.

LinkSnappy offers

LinkSnappy offers a premium model ("elite membership") and a completely free model. The free mode seems pretty useless, as it only supports video sites without any premium features, so you can use jDownloader right away. The premium version offers about 60 filehosts, many of which are very good. The filehosts offered look very interesting, so many popular filehosts are included, such as Rapidgator, Turbobit, Filer, DDL, Oboom, UpToBox, etc. Linksnappy also has experimental filehosts like Keep2Share, WDupload or File.AL, which don't always work and can be removed.

Some filehosts have an interesting approach. linksnappy first downloads the files completely to its own server, and only then can the user download them. Until then, you have to wait. This took quite a while. In my tests, it took over 30 minutes to download a 10 GB file from Rapidgator before it was downloaded to jDownloader. Downloading a 2.5 GB file from Turbobit took up to an hour. An exception is if the file is already available on Linksnappy's servers, e.g. because other users have already downloaded it. When I asked Linksnappy, I was only vaguely told that it only affects some filehosts, the rest are not cached. Apparently it only affects "problem hosters" like Rapidgator, Oboom, Turbobit, etc. If this is really the context, this programme is quite acceptable from my point of view, if filehosters can ensure stability in this way. But of course everyone has to decide that for themselves.

What I noticed negatively is the display of the status of the filehosts. With the exception of Upstore, all filehosters show that they are working when I am not logged in or have a free account. When I still had an active premium account, three filehosters were suddenly offline. Unfortunately, I can't tell if this bug only affects one group of users or really everyone, but it does leave a somewhat negative aftertaste.

Final thoughts

Linksnappy is clearly focused on filehosters. The service offered is impressive and the promised filehosters work so far. The torrent function is absolutely adequate and there is practically nothing to complain about. Pure torrent users will not appreciate this offer, it is too expensive and the functions are too limited compared to Seedbox. I'm very excited about Linksnappy because I haven't found a multi-rental offer like it yet. There are always days when the download/filehost doesn't work, but the links from my 24/7 jDownloader are processed almost quickly. In contrast, filehosts like Rapidgator and other multihosts are unavailable or limited. Limits are also acceptable, especially now that filehosters themselves offer low daily limits.
