Overview of premium advantages |
Other than the free account of, for which the speed of downloads is limited to 50kb/s, there are no limitations with the Uploaded premium account. The hours limit, which allows you, as a user of Uploaded's free account, to download only one data at a time, disappears. In order to utilize performance to capacity where applicable, a download manager is recommended, much like the program JDownloader. With it, you can establish multiple connections to the host.

Upon purchase of your premium account, you start with a traffic of 100GB. Each day, Uploaded credits 30GB to you. This way, unused traffic may accumulate to 500GB. In terms of figures, 1000GB (1TB) are possible this way (100GB at the start + (30GB * 30 days)).
For the sake of completeness, it has to be said that unused traffic expires at the end of the premium running time.
As the resale program of Uploaded.net has been discontinued a few years ago, there is no official way to get accounts at a lower price. Potential shops that offer accounts at a cheaper rate than Uploaded violate the host's terms and conditions. It is therefore not surprising that Uploaded continues to suspend user accounts from time to time which have been purchased through aforementioned shops. You do not have to expect goodwill on the part of Uploaded on this matter. For that reason, you have to consider carefully if you would like to take this risk.
However, there are a few options through which you can save money. It is recommended to continually extend your premium account if needed. That way, you receive a point crediting upon each new purchase, which you can exchange for a free premium month, starting at 10.000 points.
Running time | Points |
---|---|
48 hours | 500 |
1 month | 1000 |
3 months | 2000 |
6 months | 6000 |
1 year | 7000 |
2 years | 9000 |

That way, you can save up to 58% (as opposed to the price of month-long premium account).
