FileJoker Sponsorship

[MaxFJ]

Dear Akiba users,

We are happy to announce that we have changed the way the traffic limit works! Now it's 50 Gb per any 5 consecutive days. Statistic updates every 24 hours, as before. We believe this improvement will allow anyone to download more than ever before and generally have a more enjoyable experience doing it!

 

[PJB]

Wait so, instead of 30GB per 3 days... it's now 50GB per 5 days. Which is.... exactly the same... or am I missing something here?

 

[MaxFJ]

Yes, average traffic is the same, but now any user can download almost twice more during a one day, if required.

I can't upload anymore links because my FileJoker account has reached the 50GB capacity
Thanks to the "all threads must have filejoker links" rule, that means I can't upload anything without paying for premium every month

think about that, I have to pay money to share videos with this website

what the fuck?

Well, look at it this way: Akiba still exist because Filejoker is sponsoring this site. And without users who have a Filejoker premium account they can't sponsor.

So buy a Filejoker premium account and be happy that "because of the Filejoker rule" you can download almost everything. Without them as sponsor Akiba would have to have paid members. But then you also would have to have a lot of premium accounts by a lot of hosters.

dragonstunna, we have answered you via PM, please check it!

I did not know there was a limit to how much you can upload

 

[eshwaa]

Did they contact you and add more storage? It would be crazy for them not to since they would be making 100% profit off a free user.

 

[SamKook]

You can contact them when the 3 months expire and they'll renew it as long as you keep uploading to the forum.

If anyone has any issues or questions regarding our service, you can always contact me via PM and we will be happy to help you with any matter!

I'm finding it remarkable reading folks that are free users complain about this 50 gigs in 5 days. I mean for one, that's a hell of allot of downloading. How much stuff do you need to download consecutively? I can totally understand where FJ is coming from when they say they do it to stop leechers etc. Now a days there are a ton of those File Sharing sites that give you access to many different hosters for one price. And I'm sure that takes a shit ton of data. But also, you all know that Akiba is the premier place to get your Jav content. There are not very many out there like this. Its pretty much one of a kind. And I enjoy it because I can speak English here and understand everyone. Most jav forums are all in Japanese. Plus we can all have discussions etc. Its a fun place. So anyone complaining, saying they will leave, is just talking nonsense. You won;t find any better place than right here. So don't bite the hand that feeds you I say.

The limit is for premium users, not free ones and it depends on what you download, that's only 2 bluray iso so if there's 3 release in those 5 days, you better pray the links stay alive long enough to be able to download them.

Don't you think getting 2 bluerays in 5 days is worth the cost of a membership? If you bought those titles, they'd cost allot more than 12 bucks I would think.

I'm a usenet guy, I'm used to getting around 1TB of download a month with a faster and less than 12$ unlimited subscription so a 5 day limit doesn't sound like a great deal to me. Also I'm downloading more in 5 days using free alternatives on other forums than I am here. In this day and age where everything goes up in size and connection get faster, I don't think something that restrictive is a very good deal. Even 15 years ago a friend and I were downloading 20GB a day on most days by bringing an internal hdd and plugging it in a computer at our college to be able to download everything we wanted since we had a 5GB a month limit with our ISP and burn it all onto CDs to be able to repeat the process. Thinking that a 50GB in 5 days limit would have been a bother even then in a time where HD didn't exist is frightening.

It's good that filejoker is helping keeping the forum alive and that people have a common host they can use to download what they want, but the download limit can be very limiting to some people and having to constantly ask for your limit to be reset isn't a very good solution in my opinion.

It doesn't really affect me personally since I mostly use it for uploading and I'm a lot less active than I used to be since the filejoker exclusive thread rule doesn't sit well with me since it decreases the quality of the posts since when one link goes down, it's done and it has attracted a crowd that doesn't care about quality in the slightest contributing to videos getting worse and worse to the point whenre I wouldn't consider watching most of what gets posted here nowadays except from a select few uploaders. What I download is mostly to complete series and I have to always on the lookout for a better alternative which pretty much never comes because most people don't care a few days after the release date.

With the filejoker affiliate program. I see an option of 65% of Sales / 50% of rebills or Pay per Download.
I assume the 65% of Sales / 50% of rebills is for income that comes from those who sign up through links. But what exactly is the Pay Per Download?
How does that work exactly?

filejoker, you take too long to up the limit to 50GB....
I have long gone from uploading because of your restriction. Anyway, I am now just a casual downloader, it doesn't affect me. but it does affect me on contribute to the community.
I will patiently wait for improvement. I am still a loyal customer for rapidgator.

I'm just curious, when you're an affilate or member to filejoker. You get 10,000 gigs of upload space. So how does having that much space to upload files, effect you contributing?

 

[SamKook]

You have to ask them every 2 months or so to renew and it often takes a few days where you can't upload anything.

Doesn't really have much to do with the downloading part of things, but I assume he prefer to support a service where he can also download stuff from. I only download very casually nowadays and I find the limit to be a pain, imagine someone who does so actively.

I downloaded a few titles for someone else and couldn't even finish in 1 go.

Well when you're getting the premium membership for free so long as you're an affiliate and upload regularly. Waiting a day or so to get it renewed doesn't seem like a bad pay off to me. Now that's coming from the affiliate end of things. As for buyers that pay for the service. 50 gigs might be enough for some, might not be for others. I do know that the whole 50 gigs in 5 consecutive days thing is very confusing. I don't know if they mean if you go one day without downloading, you get space back or what. they say they check things every 24 hrs but again, its confusing. I'm still not sure how it all works in regards to download limits.

 

[SamKook]

It's sometimes more than a day, had to ask twice once which took a week. Would be nicer if that were automated, shouldn't be hard to check if someone uploaded files to the account and renew if that's the case.

Basically, you have 50gb and once a day, it resets the amount that you downloaded that's 5 days old.

So if you download 50gb in a couple of hours, you'll have to wait 5 days to be able to download anything.
If you download 30GB on day 1 and 20gb on day 3, you'll be able to download 30gb again on day 5 and the other 20GB will reset on day 8.
