This is being dealt with on a number of levels. I cannot expand upon that statement.

Megaupload give you an idea. That's why we should work to bring them down.

Hopefully they will run out of filelockers to move from soon...

So AK, if you had to guess. How much less filesharing is going on since you started this? 1%? 10? 50?

Correct, the money flowing through these sites is staggering.

MyDownloader: The Back Alley into Illegal File Lockers.

http://stopfilelockers.com/mydownloa...l-filelockers/

MyDownloader.net is what we call an "Enabling Service" in that they provide another pathway for the distribution of illegal and pirated content on a commercial basis.

We will be working hard to remove all payment processing options from sites such as this.

Some File Locker sites protest that they don't knowingly engage in Piracy, however when sites like this are so easy to find that argument flies out the window.

RapidGator and FreakShare are amongst the worst offenders.

Here is the answer to your question: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/paypal.com

Hint: Don't forget to hit the "Traffic Stats" tab there https://gfy.com/images/icons/lightbulbdg.gif

EasyBytez.com seems to have lost the ability to process credit cards.

Unfortunately Paypal remains, however we're working on that.

Nice work AK. Be nice when the backup paypal accounts are knocked out.

That's a serious decline!

I think you'll find it's down to the change in URLs. Someone technical can explain it properly.

Apparently the australian paypal domain changed or something. I'm not certain about that theory though, paypal.com.au still works and always has so paypal.com's traffic drop should be unrelated.

I suspect quite a lot of the drop is due to filehosts, if not the majority of it. There's no information anywhere about it, though, so anything anyone says here in relation to it is merely speculation.

I'm on my phone. Maybe someone can look up the Alexa rankings of some of the filehosts that have been affected and see how the traffic is compared to last month.

We should see massive drops in visitors. Right?

Not necessarily.

Their funding is being attacked, not their traffic. They still have the endless amounts of backlinks to the content they host, so their traffic shouldn't drop much (yet).

It will eventually as the lack of new content starts having an effect, but until then, there won't likely be drops.

Absolutely not. All the links are still alive (doesn't matter if the actual content is alive too). Thus there is no reason for drops in visitors. :2 cents:

i wonder if the fbi are going to buy filemates to find out who the bad boy downloaders are. wonder if it comes with logs, that would be a cheap case could round up quite a few. Probably be worth it to just to buy the logs and send out some invoices, and make more back than the sale price.

(i wanted to say the "type" of downloader, but just substitute that for teacher, priest, magician or childrens entertainer)

Exactly.
Traffic comes from people clicking links on warez forums links. They have no clue if links are working or not.

Bumpty bump.


.

The asking price just became a bargain. In their DB is a wealth of information. IP addresses, emails, bank accounts, records of uploading and downloading. Anyone with balls can turn $60k into a profit by sending out letters. :thumbsup

You finally might have found your calling in life. :Oh crap

Back to the top!

Doubt fbi gives a shit.But german goverment might buy it lol

Looks like the AK site is down/suspended.

:disgust

Flush your DNS cache :)

I have to thank you again. Your info about mydownloader etc is very valuable to me and my new filelocker. Just keep updating your site please.

Adultking's site is becoming a great resource site for people who want to start filehosts (or already own one). All the links of potential partners, tricks and latest news can be found there.

We're working hard toward that goal.

am I missing something? the alexa traffic rank for paypal just went back up in the last couple days to where it was at 2 weeks ago. so either the drop had nothing to do with file locker or paypal just turned all of the file lockers accounts back on ?

http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=400...&u=paypal.com&

I have done so on both of my internet connections. Getting the same page.

Hopefully as shit propagates throughout the day, your site resumes.

:thumbsup

not any more, look again.

Ofcourse it has nothing to do with filelockers. Don't be a fool.

We have confirmed the loss of 9 2CO and 9 Moneybookers accounts of resellers.

Good news to end a Saturday night here.

Great fucking news!

Spotting cash cows? :thumbsup

It could be PayPal purchased popunders to have alexa rank return as high as before to avoid people to figure the connectin with filelockers links pulled :)

I see THE troll can't stay out of here. Typical.

Bump to the top.

HipFile.com are no longer able to accept payments from CashU

We expect our standard weekly update to be ready by the end of Sunday and will post it here when it's ready.

Great work AK and others , nice to see people coming together to fight a Huge problem !

Read the results of our investigation into SharpFile.com , home to pirate movies, software games and even porn.

http://stopfilelockers.com/sharpfile...-so-sharp-now/

We're obviously working very hard to have this site cut off from all forms of payment processing.

i doubt that. so since paypal alexa ranking is back up to where it was before what does that mean? i am lost. i thought killing the paypal accounts was causing less people to use paypal like everyone was saying, but how can paypal traffic go back up ???

It really DOES NOT matter! Who the fuck xares about pp's alexa?

We Look like brainless upload monkeys at WJ making up ridiculous conspiracy theories..

Just forget about pp alexa...

Unfortunately this thread and your efforts are dying AK.
SharpFile.com??? Alexa: 28k, that's what like 500-1000 visitors per day? This shit ain't worth even looking at it.

What about the HotFile.com? DepositFiles.com? Check out all the pirate boards mate! Every fucking pirate out there moved to either HF or DF and after DepositFiles actually got their own PayPal back this was such a signal for all of them suckers! Thanks to you they are now invincible and will be pirating all the porn they could find on such a massive scale, you have no idea. Both Hot File and Deposit Files have affiliate programs.

I'm so shocked that you decided to "work" with File Post, one of the most notorious file host out there. Become compliant my ass, you'd be hard pressed to find a single legal file there, come on mate, this is just ridiculous.

Are you saying adult has a short memory? :1orglaugh

Oh look! We have a real live upload monkey here amongst us :)

I'm guessing that you are either the one hanging from it's tail or the dark one.



But I'm really not sure.

So tell us now... which one is you?

The fight against parasites is a marathon not a sprint. The ball is rolling and picking up speed.

Everything we do has strategy behind it.

SharpFile.com has recently been gaining lots of love from up loaders, it's in everyones interest that it's crippled before it becomes bigger.

If you think you can do any better then step up to the plate. It's easy to criticise but much harder to put your money where your mouth is, which is what those of us working on Copy Control have done.

None of this is easy. It's painstaking, forensic and detailed work. It all takes considerable time and effort.

And you remain a dick Franck
