Humm something is different in Hentaish… hummm what can it be, ohh right! Hotfile is gone! Why Oh Why??? Well simply put my account was deleted for… and i quote “alleged copyright infringement” yes its true, apparently for Hotfile you don’t need a DMCA or any kind of due process to have your account removed, i do say in my defense that i actually didn’t have any copyright files on Hotfile, but i did have plenty of doujin (fan manga, and therefore under Fair Use), so my account was deleted, cause i had files that had the name, naruto or one piece in them… while actually not having any copyrighted naruto anime or manga…
Sooo was i upset? humm no, not really, that’s why i upload mirrors, but it did brought to mind some aspects of Hentaish that i want to share with you guys:
A Little Bit of History!
Well Hentaish was created at a time when almost all hentai sites were shitty, they were paid or they were filled with junk, so i thought i could do something better and more user-friendly, at the time there were no such thing as filehosts, so i had a couple of servers and vps hosting the material, that worked fine but it was expensive (try and figure out 10mbps vps at the prices of 10 years ago) and in peak times we had a lot of complaints from users of corrupted or stopped in half downloads (just check older posts hehehe).
So i first started using filehosts for mirrors, i actually had premium accounts in rapidshare and mediafire, but both still deleted files that were too popular (that’s why i dropped paying for premium accounts), still one day my main hosting server crashed and well i had no backups and puff about 1/3 of all the stuff hosted on hentaish was gone, so i decided to move entirely with filehosts, since the complaints were more on my side of the hosting and with this i would save a huge chunk of money in the process, so win-win.
This went pretty good, i did have some fails, with the likes of Uploading.com and Storage.to, but they were small, still i gravitated to put my main filehost as Hotfile, it was easy and simple and had good downloads, also i tried and not move the positions of the links, so if someone had a Hotfile or Filesonic or Rapidshare Pro accounts, they could easyly find the links (so the one you used would always be like the third mirror link…), but now with the Hotfile Fail i had to spend about 3 hours cleaning up and ill still have/try to re-upload at least 10 anime’s and manga (that were only on Hotfile)… so yeah not so good…
So whats in store for the near Future?
- Moar Filehosts – Yep ill try and post more mirrors and more diverse filehosts (like use some only for anime and others only for manga), so if someone fails again there will be way more mirrors.
- Different Filehost Positioning – Yep ill randomly change the order of the main download, so if someone fails again i wont need to edit all the files (i only edit if the main download is gone).
- Diferent Filename – Yep if the manga is called “naruto goes on a orgy spree” the filename will most likely be NGOS.zip so i will have some protection from this blank filename name seach ban thingy…
- Fair Use Storage – Some kinda of personal hosting is coming back, mostly as a backup, still not sure if i put it as a added mirror that will never go away, or if ill only put it up later on as a guarantee that older posts are still valid ^^ and im not too sure if im gonna make it public (anyone can use it) or private (only for hentaish, neechan, tentakle, panchira and such…).
- Permanent Ban of Hotfile and Others – Of course im going to badmouth Hotfile here and in some of my other sites, since what they did was clearly underhanded, but before all that, im making a permanent ban on Hotfile on all of my sites ^^
Ohh thats all for now, and sorry for the rant hehehe and more updates in a couple of days after i finish the cleaning up hehehe (ps i had this done yesterday, but since it was April 1st i delayed it to today hahahah)
