Maybe the sponsors are happy this is the case, but for an affiliate, the problem with ccBill is the inability to check more than a small number of sponsors' stats conveniently. This might not matter to everyone, but if you operate TGPs and use hosted galleries from dozens of sponsors, it is a serious drawback.

You choose whether to have your affiliate accounts consolidated or not. If you have them consolidated, then a tool like StatsRemote is near useless, being able to provide only the total of all your accounts.

If you don't consolidate your accounts, you can't check them with or without a tool like SR, because if you access the site too frequently, your IP gets blocked.

To rub salt in the wound, although obviously someone at ccBill knows the answer, I haven't been able to find out what the hit limit per IP is, so that I can attempt to find the best way to deal with it. Nor has anyone there shown the slightest interest in offering a solution.

These days it surely isn't unusual for affiliates to work with a lot of sponsors and still want to check their stats...
