whats wrong in this. If they find multiple usage of HF ac they have right to ban ur site. I guess Hotfile doesnt but u do phail. U phail dude
 
@humor I completely disagree

They were arguing the limits at of which you can download in a 24hour span. If I wanted to download 200gigs in 24hours it should be up to me to decide, not hotfile who claims unlimited downloading.

The way ive seen it

RS, MU, MS = for users

Hotfile is for uploaders who want to make $. Therefore if there are choices of downloading I always ignore hotfile
 
Hey deleted, u have a point. But u know its really not allowed to miss use any ones service. They must be having this in their rule "No Missuse". Host gator gives unlimited hosting but just try downloading 24 hr/day through RL on them They would ban u. This is how it works & they are right. The unlimited thing is unlimited till u use it fairly.

This is only My views. Other ppl may have diff Views & :D yes I am not associated with HF
 
here the thing

Thats how hotfile has always advertised premium, unlimited.

Your point of downloading a bunch with host gator using rapidleech will get you ban, however I believe they state you can not use rapidleech. Thats the difference, they state that. hotfile doesnt say there is a limit. Its a scam imo. Although hotfile is right they are misusing the service in the sense of multiple people using the one account, they stating a bw limit is just wrong.

Now to get around it, have the server do all the downloading so its always 1 ip. It doesnt break there rules. Its no different then downloading and reuploading.
 
Haha. I love the way you replied them xD Especially the first line xD

Dude thats because of server load <_<
 
Look... there are NO truly unlimited hosts - every host sooner or later will kick you if you use 6 TB of bandwidth on 9$/month plan.
They run buisness and don't want to add to it from their pockets - what you do is just an abuse, and deep down you probably know it.
Personaly I'd contact them and try to solve this matter differently - maybe you could work out some "super premium" - you pay them more, they let you download more.
 
Technically, if he downloads data to his server and then further shares it, I don't see how that's sharing of his account :P
 
there is no fail here. You broke their rules and then act like a dick. Open your own file host if you want to be a prick. Otherwise, when your account gets flag, get a new one and do not reply to their emails.

My bad for not mentioning the complete story. My basic idea was their way of handling the entire situation. You clearly did not read the blog post, thus you have no idea of how their CSR's (if any) work.

You got busted abusing there system... no need to argue about it

no sharing accounts is the 1st rule for any filehost.

Lol. You're missing the point here. The account(s) were not shared. They were used by just 1 IP address. Need I say more?

I initially emailed them, and not the other way round. And it's not me, you're the dick here, far as I can see. You clearly jumped to conclusions exactly as they did. If they are going to advertise unlimited, they damn well state that they have transparent limits. Exactly like Rapidshare does. Else they should not whine on data transfer.. exactly like other hosts. MU, MS, NL, etc...

What fails in your post, is your lack of knowledge on how these hosts run.

lol, you just got pwnt by hotfile m8 not the other way around.

Again, you have absolutely ZERO idea on what plans I have to beat their so called 'limits'. And yep, I'll do it clean/legally. I'll stay within their (now transparent) limit of 200gigs. So my reply to them, was just my way of telling them I have no plans to quit.

That said, unless you've read everything, don't jump to conclusions. And them banning my server IP/hostname has made NO difference to me. Trust me when I say that... NO DIFFERENCE! :)
 
I seriously don't understand how you can state that, and not realize what you're typing :O

You clearly don't understand how we function. Nor do you realize the fact that if you call this sharing, then downloading files off their server (with a premium account) and sharing them on YOUR server with your friends or whoever else, is also considered account sharing.
Which, of course, is not.

Sharing accounts = sharing account access details.

If you consider anything less than that to be account sharing too, you're the idiot here.
 
Also we're not saying HF is wrong in doing this. They have the right. They have no mention whatsoever of a limit in any of their documents. And then they just make it up. To add up, they have noobs working on their support.

You are using your account to help users use a premium service for free.
Even if you are using only 1 ip, you are still sharing the account. If for example, 10 users download per day, an amount of 10GB each, Hotfile is loosing money by it, because one ore two of these users, could have bought a premium account from hotfile..

Think about it.. Abuse the system, system goes down.. Who wins? Nobody..
Its like the selling of RS premium accounts through collectors.. RS is loosing money if you sell the accounts, so stop bitching about it when they ban your accounts..
