Hotfile legit for 'big fish'?

    So, Hotfile confuses me. I'm not sure how they can manage to offer the affiliate section as they do.

    I have a rather large website, where people are constantly downloading programs and ebooks from me. Currently, I host them on various places (my own servers, rapidshare, etc). They usually fall between 5-10mb in size.

    Hotfile will give me $2 for each user that downloads it from them? (Assuming the lowest bracket).

    I can send them 2000-3000 legit downloaders each day, all falling within their legit country list. Can they afford to pay me $6000 per day? And if so, how is their ban 'trigger finger'? My site is completely legit, I won't cheat them in any way, etc, etc, but that's quite a bit of money to be dropping on this, without making much (if any) in return. Especially if I give them a bad premium account conversion ratio (I expect few or none of my downloaders to switch to premium).

    Any thoughts / tips?

    no they don't pay that per download, they pay per 1000 downloads of a file.

    most people hate downloading from sharecash because of its limits and how the surveys takes too long. try this:
    dengee.net/?r=13677
    i honestly thinks its amazing, the surveys are shorter so people don't mind completing them and the pay is really good.
    please use my referral link.
    thank you.
