I hope you are right, Freedom. This month, I've seen stretches of 3 and 4 days without a single download. My portfolio is tiny, but that hasn't happened for me in over 4 years. And usually October/November are my best months. I hate to contemplate dropping exclusive and uploading to other sites. Just the time/effort of researching how to go about that is a big barrier for me. :/

Do you guys think that after they get the technical problems fixed, downloads will return to normal? My earnings are small potatoes compared to people who do microstock full time, but the few hundred dollars it's been earning every month is important to my budget : /

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum. I registered so I could post this question as I dont' think they'd allow it at Istock.

I've got a small illustration portfolio that's been earning $300-$600 a month consistently for about 4 years now. I do design full time and work on illustrations for iStock in my spare time, so I'm a hobbyist. But this past 2-3 months, my downloads have slowed to a crawl. This month is shaping up to be the worst since I became exclusive.

I see posts here and over at Istock of people complaining about a slow-down, but I was wondering if there's any definitive info about this anyplace. Does Istock release that kind of info? I'm trying to figure out if it's just the bad economy, or if it's because I'm not uploading new content consistently, or if there's a problem at Istock that's causing the slow down. Anybody know of any resources that aren't anecdotal? Thanks for any info!
