Please note that we do get a few complaints about the referral system not working. I have investigated this issue, and there is only one conclusion:

The referral system works. Period. If a person who's never visited this site before clicks on a referral link, that user will be credited with 1 mass download. I have tried this out in every way possible, and it works every time.

If it doesn't work for you, here are the top most possible reasons I have encountered why it happens:


1. You are whining in hopes of getting a free ride.

2. The person who clicked on your link is you.

3. The person who clicked on your link is you through a proxy or another computer.

4. The person who clicked on your link has visited the site before and his IP address is on this site's list.

5. The person who clicked on your link deleted your referral ID. People do that all the time

6. The person who supposedly clicked on your link didn't actually click but told you he did so you would leave him alone.

7. The person who clicked on your link has the same IP address as you. This can occur if the two of you are sitting at two computers next to each other in school or an internet cafe.

8. In very rare occurrences, the person who clicked your link has been assigned an IP address that is the same as has been used by another person who has visited this site.


This does not mean I'm not going to look into issues that may arise with the referrals system, I am. But please understand, if all you do is post a report saying "I got one guy to click my link and it didn't work", there is really no way for me to help you.
