HotFile - new rules - who like it?

    So guys, I think it happen faster then most of you want it. Now you may kill yourself sharing on 1000's of boards....that doesn't matter anymore. I mean 'it matters'....but "The most important indicator, is your conversion ratio!"

    Great, just great. It's wasn't enough that you spent most of the time going and posting on boards, now you have to make ppl buy a premium. It so stinks like rapidshare these days (with simmilar thing) that I fear they are in some kind of cooperation. :D

    Also, on most boards you can't advertize anything. Can't put even password that points to other site, not to mantion asking someone to go buy a premium while trying to download your file.
    Since rapidshare have some simmilar thing just added recently, and after so many days of sharing rapidshare files, and so huge amount of points I had and HAVE right now, I only earned 6 euros until now from ppl who bought rapid premium account when trying to dowload my file.
    Now imagine how it is going to look like with hotfile who, you must agree, is far weaker player on the market then rapidshare.
    I would really like to be wrong, but it seams you guys uploaded sht loads of porn and hotfile can't bare it anymore and keep paying you for that. He was forced to make some 'new rules'. :)

    Lets here other comments about this.

    where did you get that information that if you not have upload limit, then it means somebody bought a premium from your links?
    I am asking because I don't have upload limit either. It's been couple of days when it was removed. I contacted support asking them what is wrong because I don't see my upload limit, and the only answer I got is that if I don't see upload limit stats, it means that I don't have a limit anymore. But the guy from support wasn't telling anything about someone bought premium from my links.

    So again, where did you got that information? :)

    let's see : easyshare do not pay you if your traffic of download are good (tier 1 ) and if you not selling premium accounts ; uploading will not pay bonus from downloads/clicks now hotfile do this; i think they all have money problems or they want to earn much and pay less.

    I am plat level too, I guess it depends on the conversion of downloads? Like maybe if you upload lots and get no dls you will be copper

    OK, so new day started and I became gold, on half way to premium. That's nice, except that I don't know how the hell I made to upper level. There is no known (and shared by hotfile) formula for that.

    Also, remote upload is DEAD. I was remotely uploading two files (260 MB + 230 MB) for more then 1 hour and 30 minutes. Since remote upload is actually 'download' for hotfile, I could do it faster then hotfile with my shitty connection. And it's not the problem with server side from where hotfile had to leech the file, because I tried with different address on different server and it's the same.
    So, the only thing that hotfile did with new rule is to kill remote upload because now everyone using it in extreme way, because now ppl have to share even more if they don't want to drop down on copper level.

    It doesn't matter if I am on gold level, because I am sure very soon I will drop from that level if remote upload continue to be impossible for use.
