why do links go dead?
i understand for hosts that disappear (RapidShare come back!), but for ones still going strong, why would a link ever go dead? one thread i know consists of like 50 DepositFiles links from a decade ago...all "fnf".
do they routinely flush their content after a certain time period? as a matter of policy or just "by surprise"? in one case, a bunch of k2s links recently went dead after only a couple months! what does this indicate, that the uploader actively killed them off himself?! |

Every filehost has its own "file retention" policy.
If a file is not downloaded for a certain X amount of time, it will get automatically deleted by the filehost. The more people download a file, the longer it will stay online. So far, only K2S and MEGA seems to keep files the longest. Although for MEGA, one has to login to his/her account once every month or all files on his/her account will get removed. Otherwise all other hosts delete files after a period of 30-60 days of no activity.

ok, got it. did not realize it was a function of activity!
but then how/why does something like THIS happen: http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.p...94&postcount=6 similar pics all on the SAME HOST. i would think it would be ALL OR NOTHING as far as files disappearing! surely ppl DLing the pix are usually DLing the whole batch, no? or at least a RANDOM few, which would balance out over time. but are u really saying that the specific 11 pix visible there have been way more popular than the 4 now missing?! that seems...odd. |

In some of those imagevenue cases, the files are hosted across several different numbered servers. The missing files are from where a server crashed and the files were lost. They either never restored from backups or never had any backups to restore from. That post is 12 years old, a LOT of imagevenue hosted pic posts have holes like that.
Same time frame, different user, same result: http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.p...24&postcount=3 |
