Hotfile Phail (Fail).. Have a look :D

[kitty]

is unlimited, yes. but sharing account is not allowed. so you are wrong.

[DeLeTeD]

kitty you work for hotfile? lol a new member prob an employee who found this through google and signed up ahaha

[4tw]

Fuck Hotfile.

What will RP have to do now? Go for a new IP or a completely new server?

[DELiNQUENT]

This sucks, cuz if someone doing remote from hotfile to other filehost (with own server )can be banned without any reason...

[kiladila]

This is your FAIL not hotfile.

[Robin H]

Here's the thing. I download a file from hotfile. Now I decide to upload that file and put it on my server for others to download directly. That breaks the rules? I am the only one using the account, Im just sharing what I downloaded. TBH it is a dumb loophole, but 100% legit.

I dont see how storing the copyrighted files on your own server is legit.
Streaming is the only 'legit' way.

Did hotfile ban OVH networks?

[iBulldozer]

HF would not put this limit without a good reason.

[kiladila]

Good reason? This is funny, they can't make limit download amount per day (like RS/DF) so they started to BAN users who downloading more than 30Gb / day. And this shit happens only with hotfile, they banned OVH and some more hosters. Total noobs inside support.

Why megaupload or RS never do this? This is matter of profesionalism.

What's with people defending a company that's clearly going out of their way to mislead naive consumers? Just because you happen to know the term "unlimited" doesn't exist for such a service doesn't mean that every consumer knows this.

If a company advertises a service as "unlimited", in Hotfile's case; "Unlimited high speed downloads", then its reasonable for a consumer to expect just that. Unless of-course they put the* symbol next to their "Unlimited high speed downloads" claim, then they have every right to reference a fair usage policy. But as they don't, its MISLEADING and therefore justifiable to call them a rip-off/misleading company.

They say "Huge download traffic for short period (over 200GB/daily)" for a reason of suspension, but 200GB is then not unlimited as they advertise the service as. Unlimited obviously means just that; without limits. Is it only me that considers 200GB to be a limit?

I get an average download speed of 5-6mb/second throughout the day, even at peak times. There's 86400 seconds in a day, that means its possible I could theoretically download 432000mb / 421.875gb in one day if I wanted to. I guess this quashes Hotfile's claim of 200GB being huge traffic.

Finally, with HD becoming the norm, its not unreasonable to suggest downloaders will eventually need high levels of traffic such as this to download 1080p movies/games/etc.
