We understand you want a fast site but now is really the time to be attracting new uploaders because everyone is looking for a new site that offers affiliates.
When do you anticipate "normalize UL/DL speed" to be done? 1-2 weeks? 1 month? 3 months? What steps are you taking? Adding new servers? moving data center? Why keep registration open if you are not taking new affiliates? why sell premiums if you have problem with download speeds?
By continuing to accept new registrations that will increase downloads.
By continuing to accept new uploads by new users that will increase uploads.
By continuing to sell new premiums that will increase downloads.
Extabit had a bad reputation at the beginning
Code:

but seemed to redeem themselves with people posting actual earnings they received.
Now it looks like you are going bad again.
Extabit if you
*really* are working on fixing speed and
*really* are not scamming people here is a good solution:
1. Do not accept affiliate applications for now
2. Announce what efforts you are making to "normalize UL/DL speed"
3. Announce a date when affiliate applications will be accepted - we understand problems come up and if this is delayed we will accept that but you need to explain reason for any delays
4. If you continue to accept new registrations, sell new premiums and allow uploads you should count any sales and downloads toward future affiliate members - in other words promise new members they will get credit for the work they are doing now if they decide to register as affiliates when that is allowed
Anybody else agree this is reasonable suggestions? You can see my full post about file share sites with affiliates here
