Changelog
Recent updates and improvements to Axekin.
More hosts, Nexus mods on game pages, richer themes
- NewAdded three more upload hosts: DataNodes, LuffyFiles and Filester.
- NewGame pages now have a Mods tab switcher — browse both GameBanana and Nexus Mods for a game in one place.
- NewNew theme presets: OLED Black (pure-black for AMOLED screens) plus several full-page background-image themes (Nebula, Aurora, Sunset, Forest, Cyber, Abyss). You can preview any theme live before spending Axecoin to unlock it.
- ImprovedThe RSS feed is now easy to find — an RSS button on the Latest page and a link in the footer.
VikingFile highlighted; richer emulator details; RSS feed
- ImprovedVikingFile, our preferred host, is now pinned to the top of every download list with a "Premium" badge so it is easy to find.
- NewEmulators now show their icon, and — where known — their legal status, open-source licence and a link to their source code.
- NewAdded an RSS feed of the latest releases at /rss.xml, so you can follow new games and updates in your feed reader.
- ImprovedGame pages are now organised into tabs (Downloads, Overview, Emulators, Mods, Community) so the page is shorter and easier to navigate, with a new emulator-compatibility section.
- NewUnlockable site themes: spend Axecoin to unlock accent colour themes (Emerald, Violet, Amber, Rose) and switch between them in Settings — the whole site recolours to match.
Clearer, more accessible download links
- NewEach download link now has a "Copy link" button, so you can paste it straight into JDownloader, IDM or FDM.
- NewThe file size of each mirror is now shown next to it, making it easy to spot a broken or truncated copy at a glance.
- ImprovedThe downloads window is now fully keyboard- and screen-reader-friendly (proper dialog, focus stays inside, Esc closes) and the link list no longer jumps around while availability is being checked.
- ImprovedIf you are not signed in, reporting a dead link now clearly says "Log in to report" instead of silently sending you to the login page.
MultiUp mirror uploads; two hosts removed; sturdier large uploads
- NewAdded MultiUp as a premium mirror host — one upload is spread across many underlying filehosts automatically (skipping the ones we already upload to directly).
- ImprovedVery large uploads no longer fail with a "stalled" error when a host pauses to process the file — the inactivity limit was raised to 10 minutes.
- FixedRemoved Rapidgator and Ranoz as upload hosts (Ranoz shut down; Rapidgator’s token was too cumbersome to keep valid).
Tidier reviews & comments, host-status fixes
- ImprovedGame pages now show the first few reviews with a "Show more reviews" button, so pages with lots of reviews stay short and easy to scan.
- NewAdded a sort menu to comments — order them by Newest, Oldest or Most liked (pinned comments always stay on top).
- FixedFixed Vikingfile online-presence checking using their new file API, so live/dead links are detected reliably again after they removed Cloudflare.
- ImprovedGofile links now clearly state that online-presence checking isn’t supported, instead of showing a misleading status.
Large 0807 uploads fixed; two hosts paused
- FixedHost "0807" now uploads large files reliably (up to 50 GB) by sending them in chunks, instead of failing on anything bigger than 100 MB.
- FixedTemporarily paused Rootz and AkiraBox uploads while their upload issues are resolved, so files no longer fail against those hosts.
More upload hosts & sturdier large uploads
- NewAdded AkiraBox as an upload host, using its chunked storage upload for fast, large transfers.
- ImprovedHost "0807" can now use a partner account for much larger uploads (up to 50 GB per file) instead of being capped at small files.
- FixedBrought Pixeldrain uploads back online.
- ImprovedVery large uploads (e.g. 30 GB+) no longer time out prematurely when a host briefly pauses while processing the file.
More download hosts, debrid hints & a status page
- NewAdded new download hosts: Rapidgator, Ranoz and Rootz (with Zero.fs and Transfer.it on the way).
- NewHosts that work with a debrid service (DDownload, Rapidgator, 1fichier) now show a "Debrid" badge linking to debridr.com for faster links.
- NewAdded a Status page link (status.axekin.com) in the footer so you can check service health.
- ImprovedSend.now links now clearly state that online-presence checking isn’t supported, instead of showing a blank status.
- FixedFixed Gofile online-presence checking so live/dead links are detected reliably again.
- ImprovedBrought host "0807" back online.
Host ranking retuned
- ImprovedNitroFlare and FileQ were moved to the "Slow" tier so faster, more reliable hosts show up first.
Old-update versions & admin link manager
- NewAdded an "Old updates" download category with per-version accordions, so previous patch versions stay accessible.
- ImprovedAdmins get a grouped download-links editor that makes managing many links per game much easier.
Faster, more reliable uploads
- ImprovedLarge files now stream straight from disk across all hosts, drastically lowering memory use and fixing failures on multi-GB uploads.
- ImprovedAdded cross-origin upload support to bypass Cloudflare body-size limits on the upload subdomain.
- FixedImproved error handling for BuzzHeavier and 1fichier uploads.
Bigger, smoother game search
- ImprovedSearch results now paginate with infinite scroll so you can browse far more matches.
Redesigned download experience

- NewEach link shows its detected file host, a ⭐ "Recommended" mark, and a "Best with IDM/FDM" hint where relevant.
