## Do I need to register an account?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Not if you don't want to. You're free to use pixeldrain completely anonymously.
|
|
||||||
Without a pixeldrain account you can upload files, download files and create
|
|
||||||
lists of files. And view your uploaded files on the [history page](/history).
|
|
||||||
This page only shows files which were uploaded anonymously in this web browser.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By registering an account on pixeldrain you will be able to access your files
|
|
||||||
from any device with a web browser. Files you upload and lists you create will
|
|
||||||
be linked to your pixeldrain account and will show up on your [personal home
|
|
||||||
page](/user).

## How does the transfer limit work?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pixeldrain has two kinds of transfer limit, the free limit for users without a
|
||||||
|
subscription and the premium limit for users with a subscription.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Free
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The free limit tracks how much you have downloaded from pixeldrain in the last
|
||||||
|
24 hours from now. The limit is _not per day_, instead it just keeps track of
|
||||||
|
when you downloaded something and if it was less than 24 hours ago it counts
|
||||||
|
towards your limit. In technical terms this is called a 'Sliding window
|
||||||
|
algorithm'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The free download limit is only tracked per _IP address_. This means that if you
|
||||||
|
are sharing an IP address with other people, like through a VPN, company network
|
||||||
|
or a CGNAT network then the download limit is also shared. For free downloads it
|
||||||
|
makes no difference if you're logged in to an account or not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the limit is exceeded you can still download, but file previews are
|
||||||
|
disabled and download speed is reduced.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Premium
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The premium transfer limit works similarly to the free download limit. The
|
||||||
|
differences are that the limit is bound to an account instead of an IP address,
|
||||||
|
and the limit is per 30 days instead of 24 hours. The same sliding window system
|
||||||
|
still applies. Any data that was transferred to/from your account between now
|
||||||
|
and 30 days ago counts towards your limit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whenever someone downloads a file from your account it counts toward your
|
||||||
|
transfer limit. If you want to limit how much of your transfer cap others can
|
||||||
|
use then you can configure a limit on the [sharing settings
|
||||||
|
page](/user/sharing).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Will premium improve my download speed?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No, the download speed is limited by the stability of the connection between
|
||||||
|
your computer and pixeldrain's servers. If free downloads are slow (and you have
|
||||||
|
not exceeded your download limit), then premium will not improve your download
|
||||||
|
speed. Premium only increases how much you can download, not how fast.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to know your maximum download speed from pixeldrain's servers you
|
||||||
|
can use our [speedtest](/speedtest). The speedtest will always download at the
|
||||||
|
fastest speed possible, even if your download limit has been exceeded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to keep pixeldrain affordable we use the cheapest hosting available.
|
||||||
|
That means that the quality of our network is not always the best. It's possible
|
||||||
|
that your ISP has a bad connection to our ISP which can cause bottlenecks. We
|
||||||
|
are always working on improving our connectivity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Is pixeldrain available in every country?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I strive to make pixeldrain as accessible as possible to everyone. Pixeldrain
|
||||||
|
does not block access from any country or network. Some countries have very
|
||||||
|
restricted internet connectivity though. Pixeldrain has been blocked in some
|
||||||
|
locations in the past and remains blocked in other locations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The reasons for blocking pixeldrain are usually not clear. The countries that
|
||||||
|
block access to pixeldrain rarely specify a reason. When a new block happens I
|
||||||
|
always reach out to the ISP or government doing the blocking, but these entities
|
||||||
|
are very hard to reach and they rarely reply. If your ISP blocks pixeldrain
|
||||||
|
**please call them and ask them why pixeldrain is blocked**. ISPs always listen
|
||||||
|
better to their own customers than website operators.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I have a survey that you can use to notify me when an ISP blocks access to
|
||||||
|
pixeldrain. If you are having trouble accessing pixeldrain please [fill out the
|
||||||
|
survey](https://forms.gle/jThCp5S6xi49w2KP7).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usually a website block can be circumvented by using a different DNS provider.
|
||||||
|
The DNS provider is a service that translates website addresses (like
|
||||||
|
pixeldrain.com) into IP addresses that can be used to connect to a website.
|
||||||
|
These servers are usually operated by your ISP and can be used to censor or
|
||||||
|
monitor your browsing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### DNS Providers which don't block pixeldrain
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can find a guide for how to change your DNS server on Google. Just search
|
||||||
|
for 'change dns server windows 11', or whichever operating system you use.

### Countries where pixeldrain is blocked
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the availability survey I have gathered that pixeldrain is currently
|
||||||
|
blocked in the following locations:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The Philippines (since 2022-03). I have reached out to PLDT about a dozen
|
||||||
|
times but they never answer.
|
||||||
|
* Egypt (since 2023-03). I have tried reaching out to WE Telecom, but their
|
||||||
|
website is not available outside egypt and their support address is bouncing
|
||||||
|
my mails.
|
||||||
|
* Italy (since 2024-01). Tried reaching out to their communications office and
|
||||||
|
police multiple times, never an answer.
|
||||||
|
* India (since 2024-04). Was unable to find a contact address anywhere.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you live in any of these locations and are having trouble accessing
|
||||||
|
pixeldrain **please contact your ISP**. I am ready to comply with whatever
|
||||||
|
demands they have, I just want my website to be accessible again.
