I got this email today from Henchfile.com:
This is a sad decision of Henchfile.com.
Many uploaders will say goodbye now. Me too, unfortunately.
My archives are always password protected and I can't pack extra archives for Henchfile and upload them separately. Too bad. X-(
So we can say Byebye and goodbye Henchfile.

No problem, it'll be a small price to pay for preventing content such as child pornography I'm sure you'll agree.I got this email today from Henchfile.com:

No. No agreement at all.
Child porn is just an excuse.
All other file hosting services allow archives with password and many uploaders will not make extra archives only for henchfile.
But it's your service and your decision. The uploaders will accept this ... or not.
It's a free decision - for both sides.
Just my 2 cents.

We want to properly monitor the content of the file hosted on the servers and cannot do this effectively if people encrypt their files with passwords.
We're aware that this will put people off using our service, but that's something we accept and understand.

stats seem fine to me counting well and as for rar files what is password protected you just upload mp4 or avi and uploaders should work together with admin to give him the password to check archive there is some sick people out there
Yes it is for monitoring purposes.
Let me put an example to you.
An uploader hosts child pornography on our servers and password protects their rar file with a password. The only way for us to establish whether it is in-fact child porn is to examine the file itself, we cannot do this if it is password protected.
Being unable to check the legitimacy of the file may mean we payout to this uploader, which is obviously not something we want to do.
I sense that you're not going to agree with the decision, but its not going to change our stance on the subject. Its with regret that you are moving elsewhere.

so no more rar or zip files allowed ok admin
How do you know this?
You can only know this, if someone abuses the archive.
And then you can delete the archive like you do with DMCA material, too.
If you want to look into the archives, why don't you allow the uploaders to store their passwords at their profile? Then you can check also archives with password. If the password doesn't fit after upload, you can delete the upload.
With your decision you say "WE ARE A WAREZ ONLY SERVICE", because no serious people will store their material at a service, which permanently looks into the customer files.
Have you already had an instance of someone hosting child pornography to keep using that as an example?
So when you say you want to peek inside of affiliates files to determine their legitimacy does this mean you're going to start determining the legitimacy of files that get DMCA reported whether they're a false report or not?
The reason I mentioned having uploader protection for your affiliates a few times before is because there are malicious people out there who would like to see your content removed just to give you a hassle and if there is no uploader protection in place to prevent removal of files that have been DMCA reported but are being falsely reported I think is unfair to the uploaders who are in fact using your service in legit fashion.
We have had people use our service to distribute child pornography with password protected .rar/zip files.
That's fine, that's their decision. All of this is in the terms of service, always has been and always fill be.
