At the moment there seems to be a lot more at BigStock that don't work as it should. While BigStock never featured high on my earnings list, it was none the less very consistent. Now for the fist time four consecutive days IN THE WEEK with no downloads. This is very strange and never happened before.
I then notice something on their "Alerts" page about problems with downloading: " Unless you attempt more than 10 downloads of an image you will not lose credits. If you reach or exceed 10 attempts you will be alerted that the system will deduct credits again... if this happens contact us for a credit rebate, no problem. We are very sorry about this unexpected problem. We are scrambling to correct everything."
If I was a buyer and have to try 10 times to download an image I know where I will be going and that is not back to BigStock.
