If you think about it you will understand that is not entirely true.
If someone wants to download instantly and without any speed limitations He will buy premium account in the first possible moment that he is able to . So how many free downloads will be made from this guy - 0 . The majority of users are not spending their money on premium accounts , because they have managed to download with really good speeds as free users from other filehosts (fs,mu,fsn.....all with better speed for free users).But with Wupload things are different , the download speed for free users can not match those provided by the others (Is that on purpose ? More premiums sold maybe? I believe not , but...) and day by day those free users (good percent of them is buying premium if the filehost provides good service ) are choosing to search for well known and better alternatives from which they know that download is possible . That`s why our stats is going down day by day . Limit too much the free user download speed and the result will be bad for all - The filehost - The Uploader - The user
Another thing that lowers downloads and premium sales are all of those premium link generating sites , sites offering free premium usage just to attract more people and increase their traffic.Just search in Google with this phrase . There is even Facebook pages with premium accounts updated everyday(type in Google ) and it is not our work to take countermeasures against them - This is something that the filehost must search for and destroy if the filehosts owner is keen on making money from his services .
Hey, azazel!
Thanks for your comments on the service, however I do have to point out some things:
1) Traffic to the site is drastically increasing on a week by week basis, and as such, downloads are increasing every week - free and premium! Stat fluctuations are the nature of the business, and I'm not going to tell any of you how to do your job (
not that some of you don't mind telling me how to do mine
) jk), but you need to be constantly reassessing what you're uploading and where you're sharing to ensure that you're getting your unique material out to as many new users as possible!!
2) As for the download speeds, yes, this is something we're constantly striving to increase. We've been making some great improvements, but of course there are some servers which are more saturated with requests which unfortunately leads to less-than-ideal speeds.
We're working on another update of our infrastructure which will increase the upload and, more importantly, download speeds to ensure the best possible filehost experience and the highest earnings in the game!
As for the premium generators and such, yes, it is our responsibility to search and destroy those. However, if any of you come across them, it is a GREAT help and very much appreciated if you pass them along to me so I can get them to our team!
Regards,
Willy!
