Some Filesonic domains still worked last week, but they're gone now Enlarge picture - Some Filesonic domains still worked last week, but they're gone now
Last week, Filesonic mysteriously went offline. Granted, it wasn't really much of a mystery, it was pretty obvious that the site was done for and was being sold for parts.

At the time, its .com domain had already been sold to another company, from the Seychelles.

But it's local domains were still live and pointing to a non-working site. That's no longer the case, no Filesonic domain name works at this time.

What's more, it seems that all domains are in the process of being sold to the highest bidder. This should make it clear that Filesonic is dead, for good.

The French domain already has a new owner. Others are still registered to the original Hong Kong company that owned the site.

The French and Romanian domain names, for example, and probably others, are now owned by Marcaria.com, a company that, no surprise, deals in domain names. The German domain name is owned by a German individual.
