With pay to upload sites you get payed every time someone downloads the file you uploaded. Are you making money this way? What site are you using? These are most popular: Rapidshare There were times when they were best but they went way downhill. Rapidshare became a hell for free users. They can download files only during certain hours of the day with some miserable speed. Premium users are fine. As for money making, they have the lowest rate out there (0.95 Euro per 1000 downloads). With other pay to upload files you'd get points if someone downloads 5MB from you but on rapidshare you get point for every 100MB. So if you upload 5MB file, you need 20 downloads for it to count. You get points only when premium user downloads your file and it limits your earnings greatly. Also very long waiting time for payments... Hotfile Solid file sharing site with fair speed. It's the best pay to upload site out there. Never failed to pay on time. But there are ranks ...you can benefit from them but more likely they'll reduce your earnings. I am platinum right now but I well remember how it sucks to have copper. Depositfiles buahahahaa One of the worst file sharing sites ever. Minimal speed combined with broken connections. If a file is larger than 100MB, you can be pretty sure that you won't be able to finish the download. When I see depositfiles links, I run away. Uploading.com Don't like downloading from them. Haven't tried their money making program but I heard they are treating their users like dirt. Megaupload The second best file sharing site in the world (right after sendspace) and even more popular than rapidshare. When I post rapidshare links on non-warez forum, people always say "someone reupload it to megaupload". If you register as a free user you'll get some benefits like greater speed and shorter waiting time. There's also no waiting between 2 downloads so you don't really need premium. They are sometime quick to delete your files tho (especially adult stuff). I haven't tried it for making money but I know that you have to be premium user to request payout. Uploaded.to Very poor speed but they pay for files under 1MB. I use it just for small files that other file sharing sites don't support and where speed doesn't matter. Storage.to Got payed from them in the past but they are dying now. Avoid it like plague Freakshare Dunno, heard about it but never downloaded anything from there. It's not very popular yet.

I use Ziddu for sharing files with my friends. Their payout terms are good & I'd definitely recommend the site.

their earning program is kinda pathetic. They pay $1 for 1000 downloads. Hotfile and some other sites give you $10 for the same amount of downloads.

I reckon megaupload is the best by far. It's got the best speed compared to the others and you never hit the download limit. I downloaded 10Gb+ and never got any message saying I have reached the download limit. I've also uploaded files and they have kept it for months and months even though no one has downloaded them. The reason you probably had your adult files deleted is because you're not meant to upload those kinds of files on Megaupload. They let you do it on their sister site though which is called megaporn. Depositfiles is pretty bad and I couldn't agree with you more. They have slots for countries and I have only ever been able to download a file off that site once out of about 10 other times. Rapidshare premium is rather inferior compared to Megaupload premium. Rapidshare only lets you download 2.5Gb of files, ON A PREMIUM ACCOUNT per day. They probably enforced that since so many people set up premium link generator sites. The only other decent site is Mediafire but it's not a rewards program or anything. Just an upload site that all allows parallel downloads. No wait times as well and my second choice behind Megaupload.

I know about megaporn but I've never seen any link leading there and I doubt it has a reward program. Mediafire is great but it has some annoying pop-ups. I rarely come across mediafire links tho. It's a shame people don't use it more often.

Megaporn indeed does have a rewards program. It's the same as Megaupload's one.

Well, I already enjoy using hotfile, already make more than 100 bucks from the site alone and ended up buying their premium account. Hotfile is the most reliable sharing file site right now, downloading from rapidshare as you said is taking too much time. I often encounter "all download slots are bus, must 2 mins", which can end up waiting for more than 30 mins. Freakshare is actually offering the most since the rate currency is in euro and offers better pay than hotfile, but since I get platinum account in hotfile, I will stick to the site. Beisdes, I tried uploading to freakshare once and failed when it's uploading 30%
