Hotfile... What the Heck?

    I have already received 3 weeks of payments with them and suddenly today I received email that they suspended me without any clear explanation why...

    I haven't done anything against their TOS...

    Yesterday I uploaded more files then I usually did... I was suppose to earn alot from that... maybe thats why they suspended me?? :confused:

    anyway it says I get unsuspended at 19...

    I am really dissapointed in them and believe that its because I am earning too much money from them...

    Not only I am suspended... also all my files (ALOT OF THEM) which I upload to my blog don't work anymore... thanks alot :rolleyes:

    EDIT: seriously think about it... why would they suspend my account if they will unsuspend it in a week? its so I won't earn what I deserve...

    Hmm this sounds strange i use Hotfile too from few days but i havent gone through such problems...Care to share how much you are earning so that Hotfile wants to shut you down?

    It really depends how much files I post on that day...

    Usually if I post about 2 files a day along the week about $40.

    However yesterday I posted about 10 files which I could of with earned much much more. so yeah... who knows what the real reason behind it might be...

    Hi

    perhaps you have some copyrighted stuff

    they deleted some of my files yesterday, and I don't know if I can reupload them again or not

    but you earn 40$ per day !! this is awesome !!

    The only way to make money with hotfile or any other filehosting is by uploading copyrighted stuff, and hotfile knows very well people only upload that kind of material on their server and thats fine by them since people will buy premium account from them only if there is something worth downloading...

    So that couldn't be exactly the reason :/

    yeah, no

    so why they deleted my copyrighted files (the most downloaded files)
    I don't know if I should re upload them with a different name or not :confused:

    did they check all the files ? or they delete only when someone report ?

    I don't know, but once my account got suspended all files all together were deleted from my account...

    I wouldn't know next week when I get unsuspened I will still have the money I made in my account or not :/

    EDIT: I got my explanation to why it was suspended.

    Moderator might delete or lock this topic.

    Well I upload RAW H-Manga... seems like someone reported that there is a underage character in it XD (aka loli) which is obviously not allowed.

    Perhaps you have posted to many hentai sites, i guess it is more about copyright problems.

    i think they may think that you are exploiting them.. so better to shift to other networks , i think freakshare could suit you , it pays 20 euros for 1000 downloads.
    remote upload your files there.

    I got my files deleted as well. At first I thought it was a hack job because The username was changed to "KILLA" but when I got my account back my statistics for the past months were removed I had 0 dollars. My files and folders were removed. Can it be possible to tranfer the files to another account? Anyway they were deleted but the links still work so I wonder if hotfile just stole the files and links and decided to get rid of the middle man... me . I had around 900 files and was getting paid around $15.00 a day . Im thinking of deleting all my posts in large forums where I have 1000 posts. Or Ill change my signature to talk against hotfile or something. Im really pissed off as you can tell.

    Chances are I did but I just checked the file links and they still work plus the original link is the same. If there was copyright infringememnt why dont they delete the files. They are still active except now they dont have to pay anyone for the downloads. And I think they made it look like a hack job

    Ok, I am back with some strange news...

    Yesterday I posted about 10 files and all files I uploaded that day I uploaded has been deleted... I am really starting to think they are doing it in purpose!! I doubt someone reported them since all my other files are copyrighted too and nothing happened to them!

    Only some companies report copyright infrigment, others dont waste their time. Ichigo if the files you uploaded have something in common like same site or same company something like that. Then someone from that company contacted HOTFILE to delete THEIR FILES they dont care about any other copyrighted files that dont belong to them. So if its the same company see which companies report their files and and which don't. Keep that in mind next time you upload.
