    We do not have any specific information about this feature at the moment. Still if these services allow generation of direct links, you can use simple remote upload.

    Well its not possible to Upload from the method you are mentioning....though they generate direct link, the link expires soon, so its not possible to upload file to UPLOADING.COM from filehost other than HF/RS/DF/MU.

    I hope you guys will add this feature soon.

    First:
    Why the linklist has the limitation of 100 files?
    Second:
    Uploading needs some feature to create multiple linklists (Linksists of linksits).I have tonns of stuff that can be interested for user but it's need to good sorting for user.Then i may give only one link to all my stuff.And this link(to all my content) i would be post in every topic and news becuse its bring much premiums when user see many many content that can be interested for him.In other file filehostings its so easy to create folders of folders,but uploading.com is missed that feature.

    So ,Dear Uploading.com ,i hope my prayers would be heard.

    Thank you for these notes. We will think them over for the future.

    As for limit of 100 files for a linklist - usually that is enough according to our experience.

    Uploading.com has the worst ever remote upload...when 99% of the file host are able to succesfully upload my files...only uploading.com gave me this "Sorry, the original file is different from the uploaded one.
    Please try to upload the file again."

    Have you tried to contact our support team, so we could make investigation on our side about the error. What file link do you use for remote upload?

    Remote upload works normally at the service, thus to investigate your problem you would better contact our support team with the details about errors, they will give you advice.

    I am a top 30 Ultra affiliate on Uploading. I am very unhappy on how they handled the whole Linkbucks situation. I was generating a good amount of traffic through boards that had used Linkbucks scripts and my sales rate was still very healthy (enough to have Ultra status). Then overnight over 1/2 my downloads are gone with no warning. Their form of warning was putting it in their news section on the site (and probably in a weekly newsletter). Now, after a month there is still no mention in the TOS or 'Rates & Terms' page that they do not pay for Linkbucks referred downloads which is downright illegal in the US. They also hide in the referrer statistics page hits that come from Linkbucks and several other sites I've noticed (they are showed as 'No Referrer' instead). It's just been very shady handling from a company I used to have a lot of respect for.

    First of all, please understand that linkbucks site seems to be blacklisted by multiple systems, that is why there is certain risk in using their service, what may result in some actions towards our service (and consequently towards all our partners). Yes, all these reasons were explained in our newsletter as well as on our site IN ADVANCE. Also you could have contacted us and explained your situation, we always try to help our partners and give them advice.

    As for no referrer - we do not hide anything, usually downloads done with download managers get 'no referrer', and we can do nothing here.

    Also, since you have been working for a long time with us, why not to contact our support dpt. and discuss all the questions with our team directly, we are always open for a dialog with our users and partners. We hope you will do.

    By what systems? Not file hosts. You are the only ones.

    In advance = 3 days in a news post that is not very visible and through a newsletter that has to be opted into. A major change in the TOS like that needs to be sent out to ALL members with more than 3 days notice...

    And again, the TOS is STILL NOT UPDATED. New members have no way of knowing that they are getting screwed out of Linkbucks downloads unless they go through and read old news posts. THIS IS ILLEGAL. PERIOD. You are shaving downloads.

    Now you're just lying. ALL hits from Linkbucks, anonym.to, and probably more are intentionally hidden as 'No Referrer'.

    I did/do. I have voiced my concerns over many things. You guys are great at responding, but none of my suggestions/concerns have every actually been action-ed. I requested a file size tier higher than 250mb a year ago and still nothing. I had to switch one of my websites to FileSonic because of this. I have suggested higher downloads speeds for free members which still is a miserable 70kbs (the lowest in the business). I have asked for better features from the Desktop Uploader like DepositFiles has... nothing.

    To be specific, the news were posted on Wednesday, while the rule became active on Monday, so there were 5 full days. If you would like to be accurate... However that is not the question. Actually all news are visible for all partners, so if you use any system, that is normal that you read news from this system, and we can not control this process from our side.

    We are not to argue here. The fact is that there were partners concerning about linkbucks, and they contacted us, and we explained the situation to them and helped them where it was possible from our side.

    Sorry, this is absurd. I can send you screenshots proving that there is 'linkbucks' referrer in our partners' accounts (sure not in public, by pm if required). If in your account such files do not have a referrer, it only means they were downloaded using some managers, etc.

    OP sent me a PM and based on that I would like clarify a few things. I have used their services for a long time. I have a lot of respect for the company. Their customer service is outstanding. Their 10% commission on sales is the best around and they count multiple downloads from premium users which no other company that I know of does (this is a big deal to me as a I have a large collection of files available and when somebody buys a membership, they usually download 100+ files). Their statistics are fantastic. I am complaining about Linkbucks not being shown in the referrer page but other sites do not show the backlink at all.

    That being said, their are a lot of negatives. The multi-tier'd rate table makes it very hard to get new referrals because the base rate table is so bad. Even the ultra table cannot match that of FileSonic's base table. The highest file size of 250+ only pays $20/1000 even with Ultra status. Download speeds for free users are very slow (70kbs). And of course, they don't pay for Linkbucks hits.

    It is not normal for new members to read old news. How are new members supposed to know that you shave Linkbucks hits? You keep dodging this.

    Please do.

    I had a Linkbucks script on my sites for over 3 months. I post links on boards that use Linkbucks full page scripts to this day. Not once has Linkbucks shown up on my Referrers page. Are you honestly trying to say that the 100,000+ downloads that came from Linkbucks were all from a download manager?

    why i cant delete files in My file Section? its to bad, a long time i send a pm advising them that a file on your list has a Trojan and I see you have not deleted, the file is YouTube_Downloader_3.0 / Internet Software
    And u are the only Host with only pay for a couple of countries, when at the beginning paid by all, because they do not solve it, I thought it would be more beneficial to all

    You can. Check the file you want to delete, then right above the file list there are big grey buttons, one of which is 'Delete Selected'.

    We would like to announce that our partners can easily get AlertPay debit cards now. AlertPay offers this option to a select group of customers only, and we are glad that our partners will be able to use debit cards to withdraw money from their AlertPay accounts. What is more, this is a good alternative to ePassporte that can not be used anymore.

    Whether you have got an AlertPay account already or are just going to register it please use the links provided in your Uploading.com partner account -> News section to get an opportunity to request a debit card. Or just contact our support team with this question.
