My stats are going down each week. Same files also on another filehost and getting 400+ from there and only about 150 from wupload. Used to get good figures from wupload but not now. Don't know why.
Sites are starting to ban WU
Willy Please read this very Carefully:
Our download earnings have decreased about 40-50% in last couple of days because many forums have banned wupload and also the download speeds are poor and the 30 minutes wait time.
Under these situations, you are talking about "PROMOS". By this you are not promoting your service, but just pushing it towards a CLOSE. Please first make your business stable. Just forget about the promos for some months and then focus on making wupload stable. Just reduce the downloads earnings a bit (from $40 to $30-$35 per 1000 downloads) and also reduce the wait time and remove that "earn money with wupload" etc from the download page. If you dont do it, then i bet your business will come to a closure within few months. I promise!!
Put limits on remote upload like 10 GB per day for a user this way servers will not get overloaded.
I must say, as a downloader, that Wupload sucks at restarting paused downloads. It will kill a download in a minute if paused. This is a major problem because I have lots of files over a gig.
Filesonic was like that a few weeks ago, now you can pause one for hours on end and it picks right back and goes on its merry way.
I was halfway through downloading a 1 gig file and had to restart my browser. Killed my download in that short time.
If I can't pause my downloads even for a minute, what good is that?
ur RU limit idea kills wupload.Wupload's current download earnings is the best although $40 per 1000 downloads is nearly impossible to achieve because its for above 2GB files and those files can only be downloaded by premium users and also only 1 download is counted from premium users in 24 hours.
My suggestions include
For reducing banning in high traffic moderated forums stop wupload to wupload remote upload.
Put limits on remote upload like 10 GB per day for a user this way servers will not get overloaded.
Bring some pure sales only plan like 60% of sales or 30% sales + 30% re-bills
along with PPD plans with ability to switch between plan once every week or less.
