Hotfile lets you download one file every 30 minutes, with a 60 second wait time to start the first- it doesn't get much worse than that. The only reason people use it is because you get a 2 GB limit, instead of the normal couple hundred megabytes. Still, there are almost always better ways. If you have to use it to download something, it would be a good time to get jDownloader or Skipscreen.

The size limit for files uploaded by unregistered users has been lowered to 400 MB. So as a downloader, you really don't have any reason to use Hotfile. However, as an uploader, Hotfile offers a very generous affiliate program that pays you based on how many people have downloaded your files. As least, that's what I've been told- Hotfile's chart explaining the program is damned confusing: http://hotfile.com/affiliate.html

What is Hotfile.com?

Hotfile offers 1-click file hosting for files up to 400 MB in size.

There is a 60-second wait time to start a download, and a 30 minute wait time between individual downloads.

Hotfile offers an affiliate program which pays uploaders $2 to $15 per 1000 downloads. The actual payment depends on the following:

  1. The ratio of users that downloaded the uploader's files to the users that become premium based on those uploaded files.
  2. The ratio of files uploaded by the uploader to number of downloads. For more details on the affiliate program, go here: http://hotfile.com/affiliate.html
