<p>
|
||||
When viewing a file on pixeldrain it has to go through the file
|
||||
viewer. Files which have three times more downloads than views
|
||||
will be rate limited. This happens when downloaders use external
|
||||
downloading tools to download the file instead of a web browser.
|
||||
Paying for bandwidth is the most expensive part of running
|
||||
pixeldrain. Because of this we have to limit what can be
|
||||
downloaded and by who.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This means that the downloader will be asked to fill in a
|
||||
captcha before they can download the file. When the file /
|
||||
download ratio drops below 3x again the captcha will be removed
|
||||
and direct downloads become possible again.
|
||||
Normally when you view a file it's on pixeldrain's file viewer.
|
||||
The file viewer is the page with the download button, the name
|
||||
of the file and a frame where you can view the file if it's an
|
||||
image, video, audio, PDF or text file.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Rate limiting</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It's also possible to link directly to a file instead of the
|
||||
download page. This circumvents our advertisers and branding and
|
||||
thus we lose money when people do this. That's why I added 'rate
|
||||
limiting mode' to files. This mode is enabled when a file has
|
||||
been downloaded three times more than it has been viewed through
|
||||
the file viewer. When rate limiting mode is activated a file
|
||||
cannot be downloaded through the API, the request needs to come
|
||||
from the file viewer page. On the file viewer you will see a
|
||||
CAPTCHA to fill in when you click the download button.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Direct downloading with a Pro subscription</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When you have a Pro subscription you will get a monthly
|
||||
bandwidth cap for all the files on your account combined. Normal
|
||||
downloads through the file viewer will not be subtracted from
|
||||
the cap, so nothing changes if you keep using the site like
|
||||
normal. If people download your files directly from the API (by
|
||||
replacing the /u/ part in the link with /api/file/) the
|
||||
bandwidth usage will be subtracted from the bandwidth cap on
|
||||
your account. If the bandwidth cap is exceeded rate limiting
|
||||
mode will be enabled for all the files on your account with
|
||||
three times more downloads than views.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you need direct linking you can upgrade to the Premium plan.
|
||||
Bandwidth will be billed per terabyte.
|
||||
The bandwidth cap on your account is a 30 day rolling window.
|
||||
This means that bandwdith usage will expire 30 days after it was
|
||||
used. Your counter will not reset at the start of the next
|
||||
month.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When a list of files is downloaded with the 'DL all files'
|
||||
button each file in the resulting zip file will be counted
|
||||
separately.
