The following file hosters deny service to visitors from the USA:

1. turbobit / hitfile / megatraff- accepts uploads, but when attempting to download any file (even your own): "Our service is currently unavailable in your country. Sorry about that."
2. unibytes / share4web / gigabase - all access attempts result in this message: "This site is not available from your location."
3. - all access attempts result in an empty HTML document (0 bytes).

Now for some good news:

• usingproxy.com (hosted in California, but I think routing through Canada) can be used to bypass the restrictions on #2 and #3.
• / - they were blocking US visitors, too, but now seem to be working OK.

Many thanks to Nataliya for the proxy info!
I will update this post if anything changes or if there are more sites which block US IPs.

so sad

It seems they just fear of USA after good known story with MegaUpload. But blocking by IP is not a really good way of protection, definitely

unibytes / share4web / gigabase - no longer blocking USA!
