But, like Sean, I don't give a lot of thought to RPI. If I did I would have probably hung myself by now

If you have a 20% decrease in your RPI on 6000 files, you would make less than you would with the higher RPI and 5000 files. Say you add in a 10% little slump to that and you could lose another couple hundred dollars a month easy. If you don't keep track of RPI, how do you know what you should expect to make?
I am making less with 6000 files this year than I did with 5000 files last year.
Seems to me that older files will surely become dated/outdone eventually, so RPI must go down as an increasing fraction of one's port becomes unproductive. Some work is needed just to maintain place.
It would be nice (and about time) for another site or sites to up the prices w/o lowering commission at the same time.

My revenues this year are about 20% more than last year. My upload since last year represent about 10% of my portfolio. So I guess i'm doing ok. (I'm exclusive).

Seems like most exclusives are seeing increases in $$, but I have yet to see one whose actual DL's have increased. Would love to be proven wrong though
RPI (tracked monthly) is the best measure for all our performances....With that measure is easy to predict quantity and quality in the future...

RPI 'measures' nothing and is just a meaningless snapshot of a given point in time. Most definitely you cannot extrapolate any predictions of 'quantity and quality in the future' __ whatever that is supposed to mean.If my RPI is 4.1 (or any other number) what will be my 'quality and quantity' next March please?
Obviously you have never dealt with statistics ... Statistics is used to predict future events based on the past, if assuming the same conditions will remain ...
And if they don't, they don't, and if they do, they do, and one number divided by another isn't going to change that. You just do the best you can do and gauge the result on how successful you are per month (or whatever time length you enjoy).
