DO NOT USE DOWNLOAD MANAGERS WITH THIS SERVICE!

I use Internet Download Manager. I could NEVER understand WHY my 25GB of bandwidth was used up long before I even downloaded a single file. Thought my account was hacked. Changed my password. Still no change. So I finally just wrote to their support. That's when the bomb dropped and was told:

"Queuing up downloads on a download manager may cause you to use up your entire bandwidth before actually having the ability to download all the content." - Source: Nitroflare Support E-Mail

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

So here is how this works. Just checking if a file is online uses up the files total bandwidth before ever downloading the file. IT USES UP THE BANDWIDTH FOR THE FILE BEFORE YOU EVEN DOWNLOAD THE FILE! Then when you finally DO download the file, it takes up the same amount of bandwidth for the file. So if a file is 500MB by the time you add it to your download manager and finally download it, you've used 1000MB.

THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM! THEY ARE SCAMMING THE BANDWIDTH OU PAID FOR SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DELIVER!

And their solution? Log out of their website. But, when you log out of their website, the Download Managers can't tell if a file is actually online or deleted since more then half of their content is generally offline.

This service SUCKS. This is the ONLY service that does this type of scam on bandwidth. AND THEY KNOW THEY ARE DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS! They are one of the FEW who even limit your bandwidth anymore.

They boast of superior servers and services but are one of the FEW who limits their bandwidth. So much for superior. This tells you one thing and one thing only. Their servers can't handle the unlimited bandwidth that most other services have today. Again, so much for a superior service.

Don't be fooled by them. This service is truly a scam from beginning to end. From this double dipping of bandwidth when using Download Managers to even the fact they HAVE a daily bandwidth limit. They boast of such a great service but limit it to death because if they didn't limit their bandwidth, it would show that it truly is a terrible service that lacks in so many ways.

There are MANY other services that beat this service HANDS DOWN.

NitroFlare is shady and doesn't tell you ANY of these disabilities until after you send in the money. Then you find out what a truly terrible service they really are.

TOTAL SCAM! STAY AWAY!

Tip for consumers:
Just stay away.

Know you will be paying for:

* 25GB max of daily downloads (All plans)
* You can not use standard Download Managers
* All their small print is available AFTER of you pay.
* Customer Service is spotty and ALWAYS the user's fault.

Find a better service. This one is just a total scam.
