@wys126608 - yes, we have to make some changes in country table, some countries get higher while others go to lower groups. Our decision is based on the statistics we have gathered for the latest weeks about the traffic from these countries.
Also we have more news today:
Earlier we announced plans to create additional marketing settings for partners, and we have received multiple contradictory comments, thus we have decided to think over such flexible settings better. Still the feature that is requested by all our partners and users is increased file size for download for free users. We think it is not worth delaying with this change, thus since today default maximum file size for free downloads is set up to 1024MB!
What is more, we have revised other limitation values. We have implemented a popular among file hostings scheme that implies a limitation for downloaded amount per hour - 100MB can be downloaded for free for an hour. We would like to note that such limitation does not prevent from downloading a 1GB file at once for example - in this case after the file download it will be required to wait for some period of time calculated according to its size and 100MB/hour rule. We consider this scheme as a suitable compromise for our partners (earning both from PPD and PPS plans) and users.
As for the mentioned marketing settings - we do not put them off, they will be implemented in the nearest future. We are open for your suggestions regarding these settings - so feel free to send your requests to us. We would like to give uploaders as many flexibility as possible in controlling aspects of downloading their files.
As for the country table rearranging - we have analyzed the traffic for the couple latest weeks and we have to make some changes - some rises and some lowerings, we have done our best to make the changes equivalent in results.
Thus, the rises are: we are moving Japan and Poland to B group, and Hungary goes to C one. And some lowerings: Hong Kong goes to C group, Thailand and Taiwan - to D one. We have to make these lowerings since the statistics for the latest weeks clearly shows that the ratio between sales and downloads from these three countries is very negative. And for example we have raised Japan since we have great hopes for it, Japan language will be available soon as well.
Your feedback and suggestions are welcome!
