Re: New site, www.camvault.xyz


We already explain at the website what the issue was, but i'll extend on it here.

I (the one that handles the tech stuff) took the weekend off to travel with the bad luck that the bw provider of camvault choosed to cut it down, making the entire premium part unusable (even if models were still being recorded).

The thing is, some of our free users abused the system by creating several free accounts and stack them in order to bypass the 100gb limit on free accounts, hell, even jdownloader had support for camvault.

This led some users to download up to 5 TERAbytes of videos (and that was for the last 30 days), and that was on single ips, if I added up all the bandwidth of the last month we were close to 250TB of data, I had an agreement with a service provider for this task and they failed on me, some even used bots to automate the downloading of every single video on camvault.

I've switched them over a new provider, this time I have a tighter bandwidth limits, due to this, i had to remove the ability to stream for free users, right now its only available to our premium members since they're the ones that keeps the website running.

Premiums still have unlimited bw and hopefully it stays this way, i'll also try to keep the current pricing but depending on the current usage i'll either have to limit the bandwidth for premiums too or increase the price of the premium accounts (we're the cheapest site right now)
