- by sending false information on HF->RS remote-uploads.
Many hoster use cookies (respectively user/pass to get the cookie) seperately from the RS-links.
I just tested oron and netload with http://user:pass@rapid... - both can login properly without the RS-server in the link.
Wget and cURL (with -L/--location) are doing fine with a cookie, cURL also accepts links with RS-server: http://user:pass@$serverid.rapid...
I had not used HF for a while (because they don't want links from RS or just few GB resulting in incomplete sets when i last used it some months ago).
I just tested HF with and without $serverid - both failed: "No Content-Length provided"
should use --> "CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1" ?
I remember that two months ago HF blocked RS and then RS blocked HF until HF removed the block again. It worked for a while then.
I stopped using HF, because they didn't want my files. Also i've heared that HF is closing accounts due "account-shareing" once they detect remote-uploads HF->other host.

A. Put as download URL: http://username:password@rapidshare.com/files/193082186/filename.rar Where username:password are your password to your RapidShare account
Q. Affiliates: How do I become platinum member / raise my rank?
A. Essentially to reach a higher status your links should sell more premium accounts. Here are few tips that may help you to obtain a higher rank and eventually reach platinum status:
- Try to post files from hot file.com only. Using another file hosting service for the same files allows users to simultaneously download from different sites and they have less incentive to buy premium.
- Switching to different file hosting services every other day hurts your rank - that way people are less willing to buy a premium account, as they will need multiple premium accounts from different services to get all the content and that is more expensive.
- Upload files only if you intent to promote them. Used server space is also accounted when your rank is considered.
- Put more effort into bringing more visitors to download your files, rather than to upload more files. If you upload 10Gb of files everyday just to have every file downloaded just few times you are going to be stuck with Copper.
- Post only on reliable resources. Posting on sites that have popups, try to install trojans or similar stuff hurts your performance and you lose rank.
HF is crap.
