i-koruna removed from payment options. *worried*

hehe do not worry removed until i receive first payment in order to check if they are trustfull... we have no problem with the guys... they are very good. we are waiting the payment

i am getting (and i am sure i am not the only one) lots of downloads without any sales even if i put limitations to premium on all my files...ppl are searching the web and finding ways of bypassing that premium limitation...i have an example of such website but i wont post it here....filemates...is there anything we can do to stop this?

please send PM and explain me your worries and clues to check out and solve

Guys. Just added captcha protection for downloads. I know this is boring for your customers but this will protect everybody from leech... No more leech I just tried it with a leecher that a KWWH member PMed me and it works... With captcha the file doesn't get downloaded! Even if it takes 3 more seconds to the users to download the file it is better for the uploaders!

okay as much as i hate this but if it helps ok but please make it numerical captcha not two words make it easy for non english speaking to get throw it please make it numbers not words

Thank you, it'll be better for more sales

[filemates]

i hate that too... i never used captcha on filemates but this is to protect from those clever people that leech...
unfortunately the numerical image is very simple to be broken and the leechers can bypass it... the only good captcha is the google's captcha... i can test if you all agree the numerical catcha but as programmer i tell you that it easily gets broken...

[Cypherz]

okay at least make your test believe me not English users will have problems and if we lose traffic we lose possible sales too am not against anything in the good well of other uploader just try please numbers are better in my end

and while u are at it i know u can come up with some kind of coding to stop this leaching BS am pretty sure u can do it mates

hi mates what is going on i have lots of e-mails from Premium members saying they have to enter to captcha and they say this is not Premium how do u expect from people who pays for service to enter captcha it's only for free users every where no other host do that my users are very sad now please fix now only free users have to do anything

[hndude]

^^Yeah, premium members must be able to download without any hassle!
BTW could you set up 400 MB as the maximum download file size an unregistered user can download?

[Kinepolis]

Sorry, very bad idea

This way downloadmanagers doesn't work anymore. My filemanager even refuses the so called direct link AFTER I solved the captcha

Robert King will be happy to hear that you committed commercial suicide - I have really no intention to sell this to my customers, and I think many will agree with me

There are just a couple of big premium link generators who use FM, can not be so difficult to block them ? (buy a couple of their accounts, check their referrals, ban their IP range ?)

If you have a problem with leechers, it's YOUR problem, not the problem of people who paid YOU money for a service which now became useless.

Serious thinking to forward you all the angry mails I will receive today

PS: if an uploader doesn't want that leechers "steal" his files, he should protect them with a service like safelinking.net or an URL shortener, this has the same effect but doesn't affect the possibility to download

I can't find my files after remote uploading them even though it says files uploaded!

it wont work with safelink or other because the one can still get the link inside the shortener and then put it in a website to generate a free link even its for premium only. srry to ask, but you just have to enter a few numerical digits...why are all those ppl complainig?....understood what the problem is but believe me that the number of leeching websites is increasing by the day and we lose more and more sales everyday

[Kinepolis]

Yes, if the leecher likes to solve safelinking's captcha's, he can still leech of course.

The problem is that people who paid for a premium account, now have to solve 10 captcha's if they want to download a split archive, and finally end up with low speed because they can not longer use their downloadmanager.
