FilePost.com - new file hosting released! An official thread.

I just don't see how allowing other hosts to leech from FP will benefit FP. What you will have is increased resources and alot of wasted bandwith. FP should focus on stability and unique decent content. And if people want to upload to fp and dont have a vps or server then they can always remote from other hosts. Problem solved and everyone is happy - then i don't need to worry about my files making other people money and being removed.... (worry as much)

Also posting a series of hosts will only work okish at best for the PPD plan, not PPS.


Jimbo I agree with your way of thinking.

 

I suppose you mean manually upload to wupload via ftp and remote to filepost. This is how most filepost cum wupload affiliates do right now. but the problem they face right now is wupload ftp speed is low, also when try to remote upload from wupload some result in errors so its affecting their forum postings. So they usually post wupload links first and can only give filepost links after few days after repeated remote upload trying. This way of delayed postings results in loss of filepost sales.

I too dislike people leeching other users files. This is why filepost have banned fp to fp remote uploading. Also users can prohibit remote uploading to other filehosts by applying site password.

I too agree with this feature if its possible.

 

Remote upload from other filehosts to filepost good while reverse bad. We should also consider those partners who do not have enough money to invest on servers.

 

Yep, i agree with that. Remote upload from other fileshosts is good and needed for users. What I don't want is people leeching off FP to other hosts.

Also whilst applying a site password is a good idea, people hate passwords and you may get banned from forums - So it may even reduce sales.

Basically I think
1) remote uploading from filehosts is fine , keep that.
2) Prevent other hosts from being able to remote upload from FP .
3) Never allow FP to FP option
4) if point 2 is implemented (so other hosts can remoet upload from FP) then make an option for users to blacklist their files from being remote uploaded TO other hosts.


So you wont need a server doing this anyway . Infact someone who does not own a server is going to need to get files somehow, they will most likely get wu or fsc links and remote upload from those hosts. So they wont need a server . If they really want to do well they need to do more than just post the same links over and over again

Oh and whilst im here any dp user who wants to sign up .... check out my sig!!!!! Its great fun

If filepost block other hosts from remote uploading from their servers with IP blocking etc then its almost sure that these other file hosts too will block filepost from remote uploading their files.

My opinion is that remote upload should be limited like daily 5 GB or less, also give an option to original uploader to allow or disallow remote uploading particular files to other file hosts this way original uploader can easily remote upload their files between file hosts without worrying about leeching.

 

Yep i agree with that. Filepost please give the user the option to blacklist their files from being remoted to other hosts. This again will seperate you from the rest even more

I dont think there should be a limit on remote uploading though. E.g. I keep backups that i need to use remote uploading option.

 

That's all I think needs to happen. It's ridiculous.

 

I really don't understand wth is this talk about. Which filehosts allows you to remote upload - OTHER people's files - to other hosts while you are premium with them?
I don't recall ever being able to do that. Only my own files, which shouldn't really be a problem since I'm not taking anyone's anything this way. And I love having back up files on other hosts.
Being able to copy links of others to your own account is something else, perhaps that's what you're thinking about.

 

Peter, unfortunately lots of people remotely upload the files (from other hostings) that do not belong to them - and most hostings allow that ( they just don't have any check). It just looks like someone downloads your files - that is it.

We are not going to forbid RU from FilePost possibility (dkp is right - that would result in being banned by other hostings) however we consider making some additional check, so partners from other hostings could RU only THEIR OWN files from FilePost. I believe at the moment only Oron has such a feature, though not sure.

 

Thanks FilePost for making long term oriented wise decisions. Giving 60% rebills to affiliates, 5 day trial plan, blocking FP to FP remote upload, custom marketing settings, detailed statistics etc etc are all great.

 

Just wanted to say that I've been trying out FilePost recently and while I can't comment on long term stability or how good it is for $$$, it is definitely the best interface I have used of this kind. And I'm a Human Computer Interaction PhD, so take that as a big compliment

 

Thank you for your feedback. We really hope to become the leader on the market, provide stable convenient service for users and profitable one for partners,

Thanks) We welcome any suggestions btw.

 

This discussion about RU is boring, a few tried and mostly the same users here tried to do exactly the same at Filesonic and fortunately Hish ignored them.

Filepost should do exactly the same, don't change anything for a few whingers.

The only thing I agree with is RU from FP to FP being pointless and a waste of resources, only reciprocal RU should be allowed which is as is.

The most important thing Filepost can do is to direct their efforts in maintaining a healthy service and to keep investing to meet demand to keep premium purchasers happy.

 

Only being able to remote upload your own files is a brilliant idea mike

 

I use this brilliant idea for few months.

 

So what have it so you can RU from (for instance) FSC to FP and the reverse say FP to FSC but only if its the users own accounts

Have you actually given this some serious thought? I don't think so otherwise you would see the possible consequences of such action

 

em files stuck in queue trying to remote from file serve this not good

 

Remote upload from filesonic, wupload etc ftp filepost works very well now. Also filepost's ftp is very fast with over 70 mb/s speed also there is facility to directly place your files to the desired directory.

 

What we thought is the following: a partner who has an account with us will be able to 'verify' his accounts at other hostings and be able to use RU from FP to his FSO account (for example). If someone tries to RU the files from the account at FP that does not belong to him, he won't be able to do that. The goal is to prevent stealing of content from other partners' accounts. We only consider that, have not decided yet.

 

Why RU dont work, I try my Filesonic links and for all files error. I able to verify and again error. Solution?
