Dear fellow member,

I just wanted for my first post share some thought about the way to make the file hosting business survive :

Uploaders :

Stop being dumb and lazy, and start to adapt to the guys who want to put your business down

- Don't put direct links to file host with illegal contents, you make dmca request only easier:
Solution : use link protection like protectup.com or any other

- Don't put the name of the file host service.
Solution: use their image logo instead (and in the code don't name the image with the file host name of course)

-Rename your files with hard to guess names
Solution: you can save your file with any crypted name, you don't need to put the exact name, your user already know what he/she's downloading.

I hope this can help
