- Look hard for your download link

Like the famous Charles Babbage quote, I am incapable of understanding the confusion of ideas that results in such interfaces.
It's fine to provide a premium service for paying customers, but when your approach is "make the normal one Premium, and make the free one as hard to use as possible", you are doing something wrong. Not to mention the fact that the users of this website - people sharing video files - obviously have no intention of paying for anything. If they did, they'd pay for an FTP server.

I'm considering a Premium subscription service for my blog. The benefit to paid members will be that I don't catch a flight to their municipality and urinate on their lawn, like I will for those who register free.
Worth every penny, too.
