I suspect that they are blocking entire IP ranges of popular server and RDP providers because they blocked my server even though I'm the only one that has that IP and I just use it for personal use (I don't even download 5GB/week with it :/)
It's the principle of it...if there's something for 'free' (well, not really free, since their accounts aren't really cheap for a student with over $225USD of student loans xD) that I'm supposed to be getting, I want it, dammit! :P
Hmm this is BS...I have an existing premium 1-year account (bought it in December) and it says "Hotlink traffic left: 0.0Kb" even though I haven't downloaded anything!Edit: Not to mention that I don't even have any uploaded files in this account (I also have a free collector account) that could...
HF pays out, but it's recently gotten worse for uploaders since they are banning a LOT of IPs (many uploaders have a slow home internet connection and use remote servers to do their file transfers; HF has banned most such IPs).
I answered your rebuttal even before you asked :P. (Multiquote isn't working, so I'm doing it manually):
To repeat my point: yes, it is good **initially** when you are using up those FP you already have in your account, but after those points are gone (say you have 100k FP right now, so...
2k PP is a big deal; it means that every account you generate costs 25% more than before - every 4th account you sell = 1 less account you could have sold. With regards to your pricing scheme, why would anyone buy more than 5 accounts at once from you? It doesn't make sense; unlike a utility...
Yup, this sucks for uploaders...even though it looks great initially that you can use whatever FP you already have, don't forget that after you use up your FP, every single account is going to cost you 10k PP vs 8k PP if you don't make FP. Prices will definitely have to go up.
If they...
My server's IP isn't banned (it's a private RL that only I download from) and I still get the "wrong username/password" error when trying to download from HF :(
Yup, PayPal is really bad about helping people that were scammed unless you were buying something over eBay. If you get scammed and you send as a personal payment, you can kiss the money good bye (I was scammed out of a LOT of money by a couple well-known verified and VIP users on another...
