Hi Guys,
There is an increasing fraudulent download cases so I am just wondering if any other hosts are experiencing it and if there is any way to prevent it.
I can see users uploading a lot of files on 1 day, stop uploading for weeks then start using these links to generate high number of downloads with IP addresses from higher Tier country to get higher revenue.
How I know would know these are fake downloads is when I ban the account with the links all still active and still on the uploader's website, the number of downloads instantly become 0. (Probably turn off the script or bot or something)
So anyone else experiencing it? I must admit this new situation makes it a lot difficult to see if someone is gaming the system or not. Even with captchas, it doesn't seem to prevent the issue.
