    "Worst piece of junk EVER!!!"

    September 15, 2011  |   By SkyDarkwater

    Version: Badongo Buddy 3.3

    Pros

    Not a single one!

    Cons

    Never works.
    Downloads take forever. Have been waiting TWO HOURS for a 20k file!!!!
    Once you upload your documents (and THAT will take a hot minute) you may never get them back!
    Adware is everywhere.

    Summary

    Monkeys could code a better program while high on acid! The website is atrocious, "tech support" is non existent. I'd rather stab myself in the temple with a dull pencil than ever deal with Badongo again! Save yourself the time and headache. Put your files ANYWHERE but here.

    "It Sucks!!!!!!!!"

    October 13, 2008  |   By Computer-Dr

    Version: Badongo Buddy 3.3

    Pros

    The good thing about it is that it is at least Free.

    Cons

    The bad things about it is it does not work. Also at the main site I try to upload a few songs it says it is complete but yet I go to look at my files and they are not there. Also when I try to go to the help page the page is never available.

    Summary

    When I found this thing I thought I had finally found a way to share my files online but guess again. It does not work also they so need to get there act together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "READ THE EULA!! Privacy issues!"

    March 20, 2008  |   By GeaFmaN

    Version: Badongo Buddy 3.3

    Pros

    I like these free file hosting companies and, anything that helps my site visitors to download the odd file is great.. This seems like a brilliant idea, a program to download direct from badongo which, IMO, is one of the better free hosting sites out there. So for the idea, 10/10.

    Unfortunately the reality may not be quite so brilliant...

    Cons

    I decided to read the full EULA while installing this as you usually don't get anything for 'free'.

    As it turns out, it seems I was right to be cautious.

    I copy & paste the following directly from the License Agreement:

    You hereby grant Company permission to collect and store information of Your Internet usage habit, including but not limited to information about every web page You view with the full Uniform Resource Locators, and the content of web page. You understand and accept that Uniform Resource Locators and the content of web pages You view may include Your personally identifiable information. Company may at times ask you for Your personally identifiable information, such as name, address, email address, zip code, telephone number. You hereby grant Company permission to distribute all information as set forth in Company's Privacy Policy, as well as Your non-personally identifiable information, to our partners, agents, and/or any third party in Company's sole and absolute discretion without further notice to You.

    6.4 You acknowledge that You understand that third party software may be installed in the Software and hereby agree that Company shall not be liable to anyone, including You, with respect to any damages resulting from such third party software.

    ---

    Did that just say we will take ALL your PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE information as well as any other information from your PC, including the adresses of every web site? and then it actually said..we have the right to give or sell all of this information to anyone we wish?

    Yep, it sure did.

    I will be blocking this softare via whatever way it tries to connect with wherever it tries to connect to but if you don't know what you are doing, leave this well alone!

    Version: Badongo Buddy 3.3

    Pros

    no .rar files :( also, the website and software feel tacky. CNET says there is no spyware, but I am not so sure

    Cons

    I wished this tool worked for other file sharing sites other than badongo.
