Discuss: Is Extabit really better than FreakShare?

    I have been using FreakShare for a month, by now, I have made 191 Euros(=USD$280). At the time of writing this, I have 38,000 downloads. Today, I just discovered another site called Extabit.

    This is what they promote:
    • Make money on your files with Extabit.com!
    • free downloads: $7-27 for 1000 unique downloads (including bonus),
    • premium purchase percent: 30-50%
    • volume bonus 30%
    • flexible rate

    I want to know what you guys think? Is Extabit really better than FreakShare, in term of payment?

    With the kind of downloads I am getting, do you guys think I should use Extabit?

    You have to use the entire arsenal against the monstrous no special Infected (or playing for them in the mode Versus). Also, you will meet with "unusual" normal infected, including the nightmarish madmenov (mudmen). To make a mad L4D gameplay even more furious, "Director" (AI Director), artificial intelligence, monitor your actions in the original game and correct the environment on the basis of this analysis has now reached the next level - 2.0! From now on, he changes the weather, the population of zombies, their behavior, the different effects and sounds based on your behavior more effectively. "Director" tune L4D2 under your style of play.

    I 've tested them 2 days with some files and here is my statistic.I think extabit the same as depositfiles but i like extabit because of FTP function and they pay for every countries with high rate

    [​IMG]

    here is my statistic from freakshare,they changed wating time into 120s ,so it's harder and harder to earn from them.I think if you upload big files,freakshare is the better.With extabit you should upload small files 1-100+Mb

    Thanks for replying.

    I just tested Extabit with just a single file. Within 12 hours, I got 132 downloads, because my ratio was set at 65/35, so I made $0.48, I am going to change it to 0/100 and see what I get.

    With FreakShare, over the same period, I have made 5 Euros from download and 2 Euros from referral with 216 files and 1350 downloads, so a total of 7 Euros which is about $10.50.

    It is difficult to compare, and I am still trying to figure out. IF I got 1350 downloads from Extabit with my rate set at 0/100, that means I will get $13.50, right?

    I still don't understand the reason you say FS is better for bigger files and Extabit is better for smaller files, do you mind to explain?

    Sorry for my English i can not explaint you clearly.
    With Faeakshare: I'm always in rank Lite(files from 5Mb-200Mb) and only earn 2Euro/1000.If you only upload file >50Mb you will earn more(maybe sale bonus)
    With Extabit: You always earn 7-10$ for 1000Dls not depend on the Rank.Rate for file 1-100 Mb are the same.At the begining should chose 0/100,if you work for along time with many files you know you should change the rate.

    What rate do you think we should set at?

    From my experience in FreakShare, I able to sell 2 premiums for every 1600-1700 downloads, that is like 800 downloads per premium.

    What do you think I should set in the future? Do you think I should transfer all my files to Extabit?

    So you can make 7 dollars per 1000 downloads? Sounds pretty good considering they accept smaller files. However, I am sure they will end up pulling a switcheroo like all the others that were similar such as freakshare, uploading, hotfile, ect. They will go to a ranking system where you have to sell premiums in order to earn more than a dollar. I hope I am wrong and if so I will affiliate with these guys. However, freakshare told me they were going to switch to a system that was better than hotfile and the others, and now their new system is exactly the same as hotfile. Anyone paid yet from these guys? Is it a pain for users to download from them (such as long waiting times and slow speeds)?

    @mobius121:freakshare.net waiting time 120s,extabit is 60s
    with freakshare i hardly earn 3Euro/1000dls

    @waterman: at the beginning you should set 0/100 because extabit very new,do you think people buy premium acc to download only some files? unless you upload very big files and unique.You can upload file to new site and earn ,when these site can not earn as much as you wish,you should delete files and switch to another host.I always creat many mirror to earn from many site

    I have another question, Extabit counts 1 unique visitor per day as 1 download, right? That means I can only get 1 download per day counted from 1 visitor? Just want to make sure my interpretation from Extabit is not wrong.

    Freakshare counts every 250 minutes, that is like every 4 hours ++. Theoretically, each visitor can generate 5 points per day.

    From this standpoint, don't you feel that FreakShare can be better? Just want to know what do you think?

    Now a lot of my downloaders are complaining Extabit not being user friendly, not too sure if I should still use it? What do your downloaders think?

    I am disappointed that FreakShare dropped my rank from Normal to Low suddenly, I am still waiting for an explanation from them.
