    if a man who is free user, downloads 100 DIFFERENT files , they will count all downloads.

    No.......
    your download will be counted as one if you are downloading from a single IP :)

    I`m not sure, on the contrary if premium user will download 100 different files per day, only one will count, because without time limits he can cheat by downloading hundreds of 1 MB files even in 1 hour.

    1DL per same IP is being counted within a single day. Simple as that.

    Just reporting from my live experience, a depositfiles/filesonic/wupload comparison, if you guys may find it of interest :

    - depositfiles takes a long time to start off, but in the long term it pays better, and it seems that unpopular countries are still earning decent money.
    They seem to pay more on a "number of files" downloaded basis than on a "how huge is the shared file" basis. That means it's better to share numerous small files than one super huge file.
    An uploaded file lasts 90 days without being downloaded, the rest of the industry only offers 30 days.
    Their internal interface still works, but it's is a damn mess and will take a long time to load if you have thousands of files.
    They offer us coupon codes we can give to anyone we like, so that some people can benefit from temporary premium statuses (very rough estimation, if you as an uploader have earned 500$, then that must mean you should be able to offer 2 or 3 times a one-month free membership, plus additional smaller duration memberships as a bonus).
    Lastly, they have a discount coupon code to make long term (6mo, 1y) memberships cheaper, and if someone uses it there's 5 or 10% of the membership price for us, advertised well alongside the depositfiles download links, it can be an additional 5% earnings.
    In 5 years using them, never a payment problem, mind you they don't pay fast.

    - filesonic : does that host even know the meaning of shaving ? Surprisingly, it seems they do respect the earnings calculation they promised, from my experience, it's a first. Small files as well as large files earn well.
    In the short term : earns more than depositfiles. In the long term, earns as much.
    Their internal interface is smooth, works well, and "makes sense", the user is not lost.
    Offering discount coupons to advertise seems to go against their philosophy, I could never convince them of it.
    Unlike depositfiles, they count premiums generated from your website as a referrer, it's certainly a good bonus.
    In almost 3 years using them (they started as Sharingmatrix), never a payment problem, they pay fast and on tight schedule.

    - wupload is new so my information may become obsolete very fast, but they're a host with a severe bias towards large files. If you only share small files, below 100MB, filesonic or depositfiles will be better. However, if you share files above 100MB (and break the 400 MB size for heaven to appear), they're outrageously more proffitable than anyone else in the industry.
    Not much shaving, no discount coupons.
    Their interface is extremely simple but doesn't make much sense (from the earnings page, no direct link to the upload page, for instance), it may be confusing.
    So far I only had one payment, but it went as scheduled.

    If you're referring to my post, do you see a reflink ?

    No you don't ?

    That means : enjoy the free advice from a big filesharer that's been using a dozen file hosts over the last five years ! :D
    It's free advice, but to be honest it's also given in order to reach 25 posts (required to post a WTB in the scripts forum) in the best and most helpful way possible. I'm in no hurry, rather than spam "thanks useful info" in various forums, I take my time and participate when my participation brings a value added.

    Or else they're not monitoring this thread, DigitalPoint is not the center of the interweb yet.

    As a depositfiles user, I can confirm that remote upload is supported and works, also with third-party hosting services (but then you must have a premium account @ those third-party services - rapidshare, filesonic, hotfile, etc... - and provide your login-password information).

    The usual delay before a remote upload file is added to your account is two minutes (files < 50 MB ) and 15 minutes (files > 250 MB ).

    Very rarely they will NOT accept a file (it must happen once per month) despite a valid URL without special characters or spaces. In such cases, you can cheat by giving again the same URL but without the www letters, or else, use symlinks if you can to pretend it's another URL.

    And, no, I don't give my reflink, I'm just sharing info because it is useful :)

    Hi, am new to this file sharing world. I wanted to create a website for sharing music, games and comics. I tried to upload files using depositfiles, wuploaded, fileserve, bitshare. But none worked, am a free member in all the sites. Should i upgrade to premium member before uploading any file. I get an IO error. This was really upsetting for me. Your helpful advices are welcome.

    Hey-hey! Wupload is new and cool, but has just closed its Affiliate Program! I'm shocked, frankly speaking... For me this service seemed to be one of the most prosperous in affiliate marketing...

    They've been around for, what, 4 years already, and I for one, definitely cannot complain.

    But it feels as if I'm the only commenter, you better wait and see if someone else replies accordingly :)
