Case 3: User wants to buy premium but sees the "Earn Money" thing. He realises that a part of his money will go to the uploader. Then decides to exit de site, re-enter without the refferal/file link, buys premium, then comes back to download the file.

Remove the "Earn Money" button from the view of unregistred users! Or rename it "Affiliates".

You have no idea how it works. The user enters the site from your files' links or referral link. EVEN if he decides to exit in order to register without giving you money he CAN NOT!!!

We track affiliates for long time. There is only one way to delete you from referral but i will not say it here of course. He must know how programming is working in order to know it ;) A simple user doesn't know these things.

So do not worry. you do not lose money because of this :facepalm:

9 referrals means 9 registered users. FREE!!!!!!! 1 sale means 1 of these 9 has bought a premium account.

We are talking here about premium only files getting downloads but sales count remaining still

Already answered this. Premium members that have registered from OTHER referrals download your files. It is normal you have downloads but no sale in that case!

Already read all the mails. i don't know exactly your case. Send me in PM you email to make a search. There are hundreds every day...

-------------------

And now a question to the community. We received a mail saying "...the "services" of http://www.real-debrid.com, a famous French premium link generator..."

So there are services like this that offer to their users link generators using only 1 premium account from each host.

What do you think if we limit the bandwidth of Premium users to something like 50GB per day? No user really downloads 50GB of files per day and the same time this service will not support to offer from the same premium account more than 50GB of downloads.

Do you agree? Should you prefer 30GB or 60GB??? Tell me your opinion ;)

Thank you!
 
50 gb per day is acceptable. its 10 blueray movie or 6 games (8 gb each games)
or 60 dvdrip movies. only leechers download more than 50 gb per day.

According to our stats only 0.43% of the users download more than 20GB daily.

I think even 30GB will be sufficient. We will restrict to 40Gb (that corresponds to only 0.005% of our users) to start with and we will see.

LOL, that was my mail :D

It is very easy, these so called premium link generators costs both you and me money.

Limiting bandwidth is not the solution, you should catch them and terminate their premium accounts as it is against your TOS.

How ? Very easy, in my mail I also included some filemates links which were almost exclusively downloaded by this real debrid. Should not be difficult to track these downloaders, or am I wrong ?

Also, look out for people who upload just a couple of files and have sales. I'm pretty sure the trick is as follows : RD or similar company creates an account with one or two files, has several sales to a premium link generator, and you pay happily 60 % commission to them .... Accounts with just a couple of files generating profit just looks too good to me....

Also, look out for accounts with too much downloads. An account with 100 Gb of traffic/day can be right (for instance me making a remote backup), but if you see that a file is downloaded several times from the same account, it's suspicious..

Hey, please wait a couple of days with this, you will bring me in big problems !

I used my premium account with my former filehost (crocko) as a backup for my files with FileMates.

A couple of days ago, these bastards decided to delete all my files - so no more backup :( (despite the fact that I have a year premium left, and files are so called stored forever, absolutely no DMCA question)

So if you can give me a couple of days to find a solution, it would be great. With a download restriction, it would cost me a week or so to make a backup X-(

We have not proofs that their accounts are RDPs or offer this service. We just know each premium user what file exactly downloads, size and more details... but no proof to terminate their account.

do not worry. with a limitation of 40GB they will need tooooo many accounts to do this again ;)
 
Yes, you have the proof, but do you mind not to have this discussion on a public forum ?

Check your normal mail in a minute of 5 ;-)

Edit: mail send

just remember to change this in your banners and terms of service and prem features and FAQs and every where you wrote unlimited before or else you will be considered scam here which will be very bad BTW good idea but i will go with 50GB like mots other filehosts
 
Use earnings to buy premium?

Would you consider withdrawing the price of a premium membership from current earnings? Maybe less 60% as I could request a payout, then come back from my own links and buy a membership (you do credit such purchases towards earnings, right?), so a 180 premium membership would be 34.99€*.4 = 14€...

I'd also encourage you to think about giving performing file sharers a *free* premium account... :)

i don't understand your question... could you explain better? why withdraw the price of premium from current earnings? you can not be referral of your own account so it is impossible... the only way is to open 2 accounts but in this case the day that we discover you do it we have the right to ban you.
imagine if every person open 2 accounts in order to get a discounted price...
it is fraud and we do not accept it.
 
No commission if I buy an account on my own referrer?

I'm sensing a language barrier, so will try to explain better. I'd like to upgrade from free user to premium user so that you will stop deleting old files (before I get a chance to promote them... I thought your policy was 30 days from last download, but now it's gone to 15 and you deleted 5 files earlier this week that had no downloads -- yet). I was hoping that since I am successfully selling premium accounts, it would be easier to have you deduct the cost of a 180-day premium account from my earnings rather than having you pay it out and then purchasing the premium account (save you the PayPal transaction fees). I'm happy with your service <3 and want to continue and increase sales; I've been doing really well!=) And, I avoid using PayPal for reasons I'd rather not go into here.

However, it seems rather odd that you would deny me the commission on a sale regardless of the fact that I would make the purchase using my own referrer... what you're saying is that if you are a successful seller, you can't get the commission by purchasing a premium account. I can see your point that everyone would sign up for multiple accounts and claim the commission, but then again, this type of commission would only be applicable to at most one purchase per month per account (or, in my case, since I want to buy a 6-month account, I would only get the commission on one purchase every 6 months). You're still making the sale. Let me put it this way: you find someone who will hand you 35€ if you give them back 21€. You still put 14€ in your pocket. The same as if someone I refer bought an account and you pay me the commission. You're still making the same amount of money.

Saying you would consider it fraud for a user to buy multiple accounts is somewhat ridiculous... you're essentially saying you would turn down sales because someone wants to buy several accounts (do not misunderstand, I do not want multiple accounts... what's the point? although you did state in this thread above that multiple accounts is not a violation of your TOS... has this changed?).

If anyone can explain this matter to help clear up our understanding, please chime in.
 
@MrBigz

You say you don't want multiple accounts so are you asking to upgrade your current free account to premium by using your earned credit from sales? If so that option is already available when you request payout.
 
I got a question.

I got a sale today 06-30. But it's not been showing at "My referrals:" stat.

So I wonder if this because of the one paid for premium has already registerd as someone else referral.

If so is that means when my referrals renew their accounts through other people's link I don't get the rebill commissions?

And what is the main factors to get sales? Through my link to pay or first be my free referrals.
