Filesonic counts downloads well?

[kejrud]

I can't imagine that I get so less downloads at filesonic.
About 1-200/day with good content.

Are you sure that filesonic counts downloads well?

 

[Daniel]

Filesonic seems to be very reliable.

I hope so too,but I have uploaded some very high quality content to a high quality site (the visitors are choosy).

My stuffs are popular but it is strange that not every part of the rar archive is downloaded the same times.
For example 1st part was downloaded 50 times.
2nd part 38 times.
3rd part 49 times
4th part 42 times.

Since the visitors are choosy at that site, I think they wouldnt have downloaded only 1-1 part of the archive file. They cant extract the archive without having all the parts.

Are you posting downloads with multiple interchangable links? Or only FSC?

Maybe they are using mirrors or they haven't finished downloading

Maybe this would help you:

For free users that download from FileSonic, we count multiple downloads from the same IP address. Only completed downloads are counted. We now count downloads from premium users. We count one download per premium user every 24 hours.

 

[kejrud]

I dont use multiple interchangable links.

Maybe they were premium users, but were they 10 times of 50 download premium user & did they start their 24hour with my links? (since my first part counted....) It means that they hadn't downloaded anything in the past 24 hour with their premium account. Why do they pay for premium account than? And of course 20% of that 50 download were this way... Strange.

Anyway this 1 download counts/24 hour at premium users is a sh1t rule X-(

 

[ms7]

i agree with you, the rule is s$%^ but ..a rule is a rule. You know, i've noticed too that filehosts count very dubious sometimes , but i guess is all part of the life, you know, only God is fair ( and many people doubt even on that).

 

[qloolp]

I got this shit too, so I smell bad. LOL

BTW, This is how they get money to pay us.

 

[Virtual]

my friends was telling me about this,
and i just saw that the downloads and sales (earning) is getting lower and lower nowadays.

 

[cenginturk]

very strange very strange virtual.

 

[whiteheart]

Filesonic .. never cheat .. don't speak about this again

 

[NightMare]

i think they are countung very well , don't know about sales .
maybe earnings are going lower coz the premium owner are increasing .

 

[kejrud]

Ok, we have to accept wheter they count well or not.

Do you know any trustworthy hoster which counts all download for premium users too? (and has a good PPD plan)

afaik, hotfile does

that's what make them so very popular, even it almost get them sued in the court by a porn company and they start to kicking out their user :D

They shave downloads, i have random test files uploaded where I get friends and myself to download with different ips as free users. Sometimes if I'm at a cafe or someone's house i'll try it. For every 10 downloads only 3-5 are counted, sometimes less, sometimes more.

I think it depends on how big your files are. Like if you uploaded alot of small files you get less downloads on all your files and by small i mean <100mb. Ive done alot of testing.

 

[MediaStar]

^^ even depends on how big our file the counter must be true.

 

[qloolp]

@bubawuba you shock me now. REALLY?

Almost of my files are 100-200. Do I got shaved. You make me worry a little bit na.

 

[kejrud]

I'm also getting more and more sure they count downloads pretty rhapsodical.

I have uploaded a porno dvd collection comming from my country and a guy told me, he was waiting for this collection, and he will download them all one after another.

He doesnt have premium account, and nobody else has downloaded them. 20-30% of downloads weren't counted.

 

[peterlo]

it's hardly to get how much they shave, just bear in mind , if you increase your work, then you should expect increase of download count.

i am wondering is there any website to monitor filehoster download count?
