<h3>Hotlinking 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.
|
||||
When you have a Pro subscription you will get a monthly data
|
||||
transfer limit for all the files on your account combined. Files
|
||||
you download from pixeldrain are subtracted from the data cap.
|
||||
If you have <a href="/user/subscription">Bandwidth sharing</a>
|
||||
enabled your data cap is also used when other people download
|
||||
your files.

</p>
|

|
||||
In principle there is always someone who pays for the bandwidth
|
||||
usage when a file is being downloaded:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If the person downloading the file has a Pro subscription
|
||||
their data cap is used.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If the person who uploaded the file has a Pro subscription
|
||||
and Bandwidth sharing is enabled on their account, then the
|
||||
uploader's data cap is used.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If neither the uploader nor the downloader has a Pro
|
||||
subscription the download will be supported by
|
||||
advertisements on the download page.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The bandwidth cap on your account is a 30 day rolling window.
|
||||
This means that bandwidth usage will expire 30 days after it was
