Title: HUGE decrease in On Demand downloads
Post by: feabornset on June 16, 2015, 03:12
Hi there! My on demand downloads fall from daily 6-7 to 0-1 over the last two months.. I'm uploading regularly and my overall download count increases. Only the ondemand seems to drop unimaginably. Does anyone have the same issue? Cheers

Yes, I have noticed the same - ODs have almost completely stopped since the beginning of the month.  Most months I have one OD every 12-14 DLS, and 1 every 9-10 in a good month, but so far this month it is one every 19 DLs which is a much lower rate.  SODs are hanging in there but also slow.  Not much incentive to continue uploading.

That has been true for years, and it only changed in the last few weeks.

I experienced the same in April and May, but it's back to normal in June.

April and May were incredibly slow for me too, but June has really picked up since day 1. I'm getting one ODD or SOD out of every 7.8 DLs this month. No ELs for a while though, I'm overdue for some  8)

My numbers are not that good, I'm getting one ODD or SOD out of every 12.71 DLs this month. My income from ODD are half of the income from SUBs, which is the norm for me.

In my case, very few OD's in the first half of the month, but the second half they're picking up again.
