New Filehosts + Their 1point/Premium Users/24Hours

[viruz99]

I don't know about you guys but i would have preferred payout rates of $1-5 / 1000 downloads without this rule than $25 / 1000 downloads with it

Let's take an example : Fileserve

At first , not many users had premium account so you were getting multiple points for each file they downloaded

Now the majority of downloaders has premium fileserve account , so we can only get 1 point from them in 24 hours even if they download hundreds of files.

This su*cks because : Since they have premium accounts , they are more likely to download more files / day.

Every premium accounts that they buy , Filehosts wins - We lose

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

I'm sure many of you are experiencing this right now : Thought you keep increasing your upload rates , your earnings keep decreasing .

Anyway , Is there still any ''established/reliable'' filehost that does not have this rule ? Even if payout per 1000 downloads is $1 , it might still be better .

Fu** whoever came up with that rule in the first place :P

So, you woke up and realize all this NOW? lol

no no

1-5 $ per 1000 DLs it's too low for total 1000 (even if all counted)

 

[viruz99]

No mate - before this rule existed - you could get over 10,000+ downloads per day easily .

I had only 1 megathread and was getting that much on rapidshare

- now i have 20 times more upload and difficult to even get 500 downloads/day

Anyway once fileserve becomes the leading filehost and get as many users as rapidshare - You will see the huge drop in your earnings

Its cleverly designed system mate and its called as marketing. At start give away and then start leeching. FSc have better plan if you switch to PPS

 

[broadcast]

but problem is are you ready to try a brand new filehost that offers that ?? (don't know any)

the risk of scam or whatever is HIGH since every 10 days a new filehost cames and offers.........whatever dunno

it's a matter of how business should work for profit both company and affiliate(s).

so be careful if you plan to change too a very LOW traffic (and very new) filehost (advice) that offers more......

 

[Jesse]

No pay...period.

 

[viruz99]

Nope - was wondering if there was still an established company without that rule.

Megaupload is an example but apparently they don't count downloads properly

Hotfile counts all downloads if that's what you're looking for.

 

[viruz99]

Nope Hotfile was the first to implement this rule & the others copied .

Maybe it was fileserve first - not really sure

 

[furious]

You are wrong. If a premium user downloads a movie which consists of 15 files, you will get 15 downloads. Period.

However, if the same user downloads the same movie for a second time, you will get 0 downloads but i don't think that there are many users who double/triple download the same files.

 

[cvrle77]

You need to read rules again dude :D
That is for free users, not premiums

 

[furious]

The rules are pretty clear but if you don't believe me, feel free to test it yourself along with a friend who has premium account.

hotfile

1. We count every successfully completed download, but if a premium user downloads a file more than once, that will be counted as a single download. This doesnt apply for free users downloads - their downloads are counted without limitations (multiple downloads for a file from same IP are counted).

 

[nampotomo]

Well i think that FS now it's saturated.
you can reach 700 800 downloads only with mirrors.
I started to use hotfile and megaupload as a mirrors.

 

[madnessken]

oh that's sad

 

[george101]

hotfile counts all downloads. they just discard multiple downloads for a file using the same premium account!

 

[Gonzo1136]

The is what Filerserve says:

For premium users that download from FileServe, we count one file per each unique IP counted every 24 hours. This means, that a premium user on the same IP, but downloading two different files will count for one qualified downloads.

That's why a premium user come rip the f*ck up of your site with 10 millions files, it will be counted as only one download, as long as he downs all the 10 million files within 24 hrs.

when they start to make business they pay money for server ,for employee,for uploader ,now their business has profit ,that time they make money,if you don't like them you can choose other hosts look like filesonic they have PPS,it's good for you :D )

remember before megaupload make business ,we've just find a host to upload something to share something with other people ,i remember those are yousendit with 20 times to download,sendspace with bandwith limith download and......,after megaupload make business,and after that rapidshare make business too,everybody share file on those serve ,that time they share files because make money 60% and just 40% really share files,after rapidshare don't pay money more ,and fileserve and others host make business,what happen they share file because they make money 100% not really share files,now multi post everywhere it's hard to find something you need ,and it's hard to buy a premium account because a lot of host you don't know which one is it right for you? before you've just need a mega premium and a rapidshare premium that's it,you can download all files with those premium,if i can wish,i wish everything come back again ,not a lot of host,not a lot multi post ,and everybody share files because they want to do it,it's not for money :P

Well sharing is good if you make it a hobby. Everybody was sharing because they likes to do so (and of course downloading from others too). but when someone pays them to share, why not? And those old timer like RS who stop paying will have a tough time. They are losing uploaders, and when that happen, downloaders will leave too and so are their premium account sales.
