I have hit my limit according to Oron I can not DL anymore as a free user limit is 10000g, now im not sure i have actually used that much and how does it know anyway.
Question is can i reset this or wipe it somehow as a lot of good stuff is passing me by I dont really want t o pay for it as its not the only file sharer out there and i dont relly trust those sites with actual cash anyhow.

re-set your router and hopefully you will get a new IP address then try again.

Oron and othere file hosts keep track of you by whats called your IP address. It is the unique sequence of numbers which ID's your computer on the 'net.

You have to change that number to a new one. This is easy to do if you are using a DSL line. More difficult if using a cable line. I believe its more involved if using an optical line.

With DSL there are several ways, you can simply unplug the modem for a minute, or find the 'disconnect' button in the modem software, or if using a download manager like JDownloader, use the disconnect/connect button.

With cable, you may have to leave the modem disconnected overnight. I've never used a cable connection in my home but others report success doing this. No idea how its done with an optical line.

You can view your IP address before you start and after experimenting see if your number has changed. Here's one place of many.

There is another way which will work for anybody. You can use the same anonymous network that dissidents in the middle east and asia use to get past government censors: Tor.

Once you connect to Tor it routes your network traffic around the world, changing the IP address with each jump, making it untraceable. When the traffic finally gets to the destination (like Oron) it looks like it is coming from a completely different country. (See the Wikipedia explanation here.)

There are a couple of downsides to Tor. First, it will slow your traffic down considerably (obviously, since instead of the fastest route, your traffic is bouncing around the world first). Second, some sophisticated sites (like Google, for example) that detect your location and set the language accordingly, will come up in a language you might not understand.

There are several ways to install and use Tor, but the easiest is to download the Tor Browser. It installs Tor, and gives you a version of portable Firefox that is pre-configured to use the Tor network. That way when you don't need Tor you use your regular browser, and when you want to mask your IP address you use the Tor Firefox. It's as simple as that.

So if you don't want your sites to be able to identify you, and are willing to trade some speed for that privilege - use Tor.

Other answers explained how any downloading site 'knows' how much (and what files) you have downloaded. If you have a broadband cable connection, most of those routers do NOT reset the IP overnight or after a power cycle. The service provider usually assigns a 'lease' on a given IP address (locked to the modem's electronic signature called a MAC address) that might change monthly or less often. Mine happens to change quarterly. It's done this way to effectively manage network resources, but won't help with Oron or other sites.

I trust Oron with my PayPal account, since I have total control that way; and I purchase a cheap plan monthly - If I decide not to renew, that's my choice and I am not stuck for more than one month at a tinme. Have had it for a while with absolutely no isses regarding logins or phony charges on my card.

I hate to say this, after all the moaning I did about how Oron sucked, but I tried a file earlier this week and it worked. It is still working fine and downloading faster than I remember Oron ever doing.

Oddly, in JDownloader or FreeRapidDownloader Oron crawls, maybe 50-60K, but manual downloads get to 150-250K. For Oron, that's pretty speedy!

How long it will last is anyone's guess. X_X

It's the other way around for me -oron is speedy via Jdownloader but slow when it comes to manual downloads. :?

Has anybody noticed that Oron has put its price for a Premium Account up? Last month when I renewed my account it was $9.95 now it is 9.95 Euros/ They have also increased the 3 day limit thing to 20 GB instead of 15GB. This is really ridiculous as all the others like FServe, Fsonic and HFile don't have limits on Premium accounts.

Oron does not like JDownload but recommend Flashget. It works OK but Oron is usually pretty slow.

Why have so many posters gone over to Oron? I can undestand the problems they had with HFile but that problem seems to be fixed and files are not being removed. Do they pay more?

My favorite is FSonic now that they have solved their problems. Fserve is OK but seems to lose connections to often.

Thanks for a great forum and thanks to all the posters!

For me oron is the worst! Some days not too bad but others terrible with dropouts and speeds as slow as 20 kbs. (foxfire, US)

All file servers have their good and bad sides. A while ago I had problems with files monster. I e-mailed the folks and they really solved the problem. Not bad for a non paying customer.

No, it has not been fixed. They (Hotfile) are still doing it - deleting both the file and the owner's account. Why any porn uploader would continue in such a perilous manner is beyond me :?

And about Oron, right now its:

9.95 euros = 14.2633

That's a 43.34 % increase in price with only a 33 % increase in daily bandwith.

In short, the price increase is more than what they added in your bandwith - I'm guessing this is to pay off all of the porn forums they bought in the past few months

Goodluck :p

I still occasionally upload to HF. It's hardly perilous unless you choose to jeopardise an account you might have there. HF will close it in a heartbeat at the first sign of you being ratted out for copyright infringement. It closed mine but I still use HF now and then. It's popular with some people who will not migrate to other services. It offers fast downloads with little waiting time.

As for Oron, I had heard it was 'buying up' (or paying kickbacks) to websites. I just wasn't sure how true it all was. There's one site in particular I can think of. All the best posters have left and what remains is a shadow of what was.

I'm grateful for any and all the uploads to any filesharing services, but I must say, Oron is the one that gives me most trouble. It's sloooooooooooow. On occasion it might start quickly, but within five or 10 minutes, it decelerates and it might take two or even three hours to d-load a file of say 200mib. Usually before the first hour's passed, there'll be a dropout, so the download will have all been for nothing, anyway. Just a big waste of time and lost bandwidth/monthly allocation. So I still try to download via Oron if there's no other choice (and I really want to see a particular vid), but 99% of the time, it's all in vain. :angry::(

oron is one of the best no?

Never had a moment of trouble with Oron yet. Speedy downloads and no dropouts. Perhaps the area of the world one is in, or their service provider may have something to do with the quality of service.

I became a premium member only to discover some crazy download limit per day. I ended up canceling my member ship.
