As for your bots, I bet 80% of 'em are just regular joes using something like jDownloader or mipony to download your files.
More like 99.9% are just regular joes using something like jDownloader or mipony to download files- like I said it's a problem with only a very few 'people'

Now this statement scares me a little I guess I'll keep a few files on this host instead of moving the bulk of it back untill you guys decide exactly what you're gonna do. No offense but changing a few thousand links isn't exactly a walk in the park and neither is downloading them.
We are still learning and with the best will in the world it's simply impossible for us to say that the current situation (or any situation) it written in stone and will never ever change at all, honestly I don't think there's a company in the world who could say that. And if you want to see something really scary, you should see our server bill !

There seems to be a bit of a feeling that when we make some change or other, we are doing it to wind people up or make lives difficult, but nothing could be further from the truth - there's no profit in that for any of us. We only make changes because either we absolutely need to, or as a response to affiliate suggestions. We don't do it for fun - there's enough to do already lol
