    New idea for FileHosts. Looking for feedback

    Yeah that's a good idea. We are very much against the whole idea of PPD (and PPS for that matter), but it sounds like your PPS plan without PPD would def limit your exposure to losses. Also, would be nice if you gave us some credit for helping you :P

    New idea for FileHosts. Looking for feedback

    The problem with 'redeeming' these coupons, particularly at face value, is you need to be able to identify whether or not these coupons have been spent or not. Let us suppose a genuine user buys a $15 coupon (for $10). Under your model you would have liabilities of some $3 in PPD and you would...

    How to bypass DMCA ?

    Do forums enjoy DMCA protection in the same way web hosts do? Do forums need DMCA protection in the same way web hosts do? If someone is actively uploading and distributing copyright content, I'm fairly sure there is no protection of any kind. It seems pretty clear that it's illegal, plain and...

    New idea for FileHosts. Looking for feedback

    Actually that would work very well. You can completely avoid the hassle of counting downloads by doing this. They are called site coins, not coupons. But I guess they work in the same way. Go for site coins and redeem them from your up loaders. It will be hard for your up loaders to scam you...

    New idea for FileHosts. Looking for feedback

    Since you had asked us for our software, I take it you want to employ our payment security measures? It's not difficult to do, and you can actually build a simple clone version of our software reasonably quickly. Our working prototype only took 3 - 4 days to get going, so if you're planning on...

    FileShoppe - With instant payments, and now with Paypal-Pass-Through

    Should be okay now. Firewall was a little too restrictive :-).

    How to bypass DMCA ?

    That's interesting really. If a file has been compressed and split (say 5 ways) and only 1 part was uploaded to a particular host, does that part of a file constitute as a copyrighted piece of work? Ultimately, the collective actions you encourage your users take would constitute copyright...

    FileShoppe - With instant payments, and now with Paypal-Pass-Through

    It works for me on both the HK and US server. Are you using active or passive mode for FTP transfers? I believe passive mode is the preferred method (this works for me). Otherwise, send me a PM.

    FileShoppe - With instant payments, and now with Paypal-Pass-Through

    Hey tmcsharer. No we do not use a 3rd party script. FileShoppe's software is designed and built entirely in house. The current system is not really 'license' ready. We may consider licensing the software in the future, but for now no. It is not for sale.

    FileShoppe - With instant payments, and now with Paypal-Pass-Through

    Withdrawals from CarrotPay to Paypal are normally available. However, their website reads the following: According to E-Mail correspondence I have with one of their reps, they said it will be brought back in the next update which hopefully will be a few days. FileShoppe however would like to...

    Is anyone into coding bots?

    Any software built for the purpose of defrauding a person/company/entity out of money would probably be illegal in most countries, and certainly immoral. I was going to argue that your ingenuity should go to better, and more productive use. However, by building any such system, you would only...

    Best Filehost

    To be fair, the question is quite vague. If you are looking for PPD or PPS, I'm sure there are some 'legit' providers, some scam providers, some with good rates and some with bad rates, and all may be good/bad for different people for various reasons. But to be perfectly honest, I fail to see...

    Why filehost still use paypal

    Paypal rates aren't that bad. At least not their normal rates. What kind of rates does Paypal charge file hosts? We don't offer Paypal directly, but Paypal can still be used to pay for products sold on our site and the fee is just 5% for us.

    FileSector.cc - New file host

    Welcome Mathv. Indeed it's nice to see a host that doesnt offer PPD/PPS that caters to nothing but warez users. Site like your could be a nice addition to the legit market. As mentioned before, nice clean sleek interface! Good luck!

    FileShoppe - With instant payments, and now with Paypal-Pass-Through

    If you like, I can send Carrot and E-Mail and ask for you. Looks like your web purse is working okay. From the looks of it, you've successfully claimed your free $5 to spend on FileShoppe downloads :-).

    PHP problem handling urlencoded '&' (%26) char

    mRAza, The B flag does indeed seem to be exactly what I need. But it produces a 500 server error for some reason. Not sure why at the moment. Still researching. Gavo, I'm afraid I'm lost. Does this help with the mod_rewrite problem? ---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post...
