To all you reward point earners: have you found blindly sharing 0-day film/tv/game releases gets the most traffic, or hand-picking popular releases (eg. Dark Knight HD, the whole season of Sopranos, etc,)? I haven't posted enough to be sure yet. Wondering what all your experiences are.
rockwell.
What? :huh:
Some uploaders will post anything that's new. Some will hand-pick-upload things they think will be popular, eg. Sopranos Seasons 1-6 DVDRip, some will do both. I'm wondering if uploaders have experienced more download traffic from basically blind 0-day uploading versus hand-picking material they think a lot of people will want to download, regardless of release age.Quote:

You get them when people download your files. Rapidshare has a per-hour cap, of I think 3 points. When you reach a certain amount (typically in the three to five, or even ten thousand region), you can trade it for a Premium account, and enjoy the privileges that come with one, at least for a while - and succeeding at making your links visible on Warez forums with massive amounts of users is pratically guaranteeing you'll get the maximum amount of points every hour.Quote:

What keeps on giving are games,albums and HD all well coded and protected.Shame it's only germans that appear to have fully grasped this concept of link protection.Don't protect 0day though.
Whoah, I've never heard of time-based point-capping before. I won't be using RS anymore anyway (unless they reverse field on their no-money-rewards policy). Do you know if the other DDL services (eg. Megaupload, Depositefiles, Hotfile) do a per-hour point capping too anon-sbi?Quote:

I don't know about jD or anon.to, but just for the record, RDesc can automatically get the real links out Lix.in-protected ones.Quote:

Yeah, I caught that right after sending, but had to keep refreshing the thread because my messages have to be checked by a mod before they get posted. heheh..Quote:

@Skiz
These points count for downloads that are done through the service. It's a marketing
strategy - give uploaders an incentive to make your service more popular.
More users -> more memberships, so as long as you aren't shut down, it's good business :lol:
