Rewards plugin change

[pilot830]

Right now your rewards plugin rewards whether its a video or a regular file

If a site is operating with the model / goal that they want users to upgrade to Premium, then they will have to limit speed in order to entice users to upgrade

So that is why they would want to pay out $50 per 1000 downloads to get you to upgrade. But if users are downloading videos at unlimited speed (streaming them), and its counting as a download, then the file host will be paying lots of money as rewards when nobody is upgrading.. (No need to, since they can stream it fast)

so i propose something where you can break up the rewards plugin to reward by the type of content

Give us the ability to set rates for videos, and set rates for non-videos

Then I could say $50 per 1000 downloads, and $5 for 1000 video downloads

Instead of getting raped at $50 for 1000 video downloads.

I think for now I've settled on just defining $X amount paid out per 10,000 downloads.. and so say i want to pay out $25 per 10,000 downloads regardless of what kind it is (with minimum file size of 100mb)

then i would just set the rate to 0.0025 so that when they reach 1000 downloads they would only make $2.50 since the system is coded to 1000 downloads

so i still propose that the rewards program have 2 different rates. rates for video and rates for non video

Thanks for the suggestions. We're working on the next release at the moment so I'll ensure these are reviewed before then.

We desperately need the rewards plugin to be on par with the XFS rewards system

for example

on http://terafile.co/affiliate.html you can see how its broken up into different file sizes

the yetishare system only allows a single file size to be counted for rewards..
