Decrease the number of reported links?

[Whoo]

As some of you know my bot uploads all the latest popular TV-shows and movies with the original.scene.release.name.rar.

The number of deleted files I get is really annoying. Now my question is does anyone have experience with just giving your uploads random filenames like family_pictures.rar etc...?

Will the links stay live longer?

Make the filenames like

b7456d8828ce1949cb8ba9f69984635a

and password protect your files, every single archieve with

whoo.ws

That's was I was planning to do, I would go for MD5-ing the filenames, don't know about password protection though

Password protection is annoying, serves no purpose at all.

Changing the filename will help if it's a bot randomly searching Google for release names, but if it's actually searching for the title itself ie: "Inception 2010 Download" or any other term, that wouldn't help at all.

Unless you're going to change your whole post from the real thing to something fake, which would basically mean no one will know what's what lol.

Have a private mirror, for example, upload one to Rapidshare and post them, another one on Megaupload but keep it private, don't share, if RS link dies, remote upload from MU, which will take a couple of minutes and ultimately keep your post alive.

Or just get a Netflix subscription, which owns. Netflix ftw.

I do agree that password protecting that files is annoying for the end user, but if the downloader has common sense he should be able to see the password (of course, whoo did post the password in the post).

My personally experience is that password protected files last longer/forever.

Only bad thing about password protecting for the uploader is that it's less chance your links get leeched, also, that means less downloads and less money if that's the main reason why you're uploading.

Chamge the file name won't do much.
el_jentel1 said pretty much everything.
Some boards even use the hide tag but it doesn't work much either.

Issue I find is megaupload is way to slow to upload to. Takes like 10 years for anything to get done...what else would be good for mass storage and fast speeds

Ive seen people using paste2, and some other sites to protect their links, would that work?
