What is PikPak | PikPak - Private Cloud, Video Saver
PikPak is a private and safe cloud drive that can save links from Torrent / Magnet / Social Media with 20X faster download and support 4K videos for original quality online playback.
but since today I get this message when i try to paste the link
"Your request is too frequent, please contact https://whatslink.info..."
weird. Anyone else with that problem?
I've been getting this error message as well, when I was trying to enter the magnet links from the main home page. But I'm able to circumvent it by just entering the links on the PikPik web drive.What is PikPak | PikPak - Private Cloud, Video Saver

Has anyone here actually downloaded the PikPak application? I don't really trust/want it on my computer, so I just stick with the browser version. That has been totally fine for me until now when I found a dead torrent for a manga volume that wasn't zipped or a RAR file, but the regular folder containing ~180 jpg files. On the browser I can't batch download these so I need to either download each separately, which is a total pain, OR just get the PikPak app.
The problem with putting the link into the web drive immediately is that you cant see if the link is working. Sometimes a file doesnt exist anymore. On here mypikpak.com you can preview the file but when you enter the link and start then you cant. And if the file doesnt exist it will still use up 1 download token a day :S
I had noticed this to. It was down for a day or two a while back. Luckily this seems to have been temporarily.
I have noticed though download speeds have significantly decreased. It was fast when I first signed up, but then it decreased first to to about 900 kb/sec, later to about 200 kb/sec, Anyone else experiencing the same?
I wonder if downloads are faster when you purchase premium. Does anyone know? Thanks!

Sorry I haven't been around in a while. I was able to talk to their support, and according to them there was too much abuse of the system to get free premium access so they aren't giving free trial of premium now. It seems there must be a better way to keep abuse in check while still having a working referral system/free trial, but it's hard to say what they will do. PikPak is very good in some areas, but drop the ball in others.This is F'n Brilliant! Thank you Yellowvac for sharing! It's a game changer indeed!
I'll be upgrading to premium soon, but I'll wait untill you've had a chance to look into that referal code thing. Least I can do is use your referal code so you'll get a bit of free premium time. Again, really appreciate you sharing this great find!
I'll need more storage!
I'm not sure if there is any bonus when paying for premium and using a referral code, for example. HOWEVER... if my post turned you on to something useful and you want to give me a small 'thanks' that costs nothing, I would love if you still use my referral link/code so they allow me some days of free premium. Sorry I don't have better news, I hope they realize they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater and fix their system.
I was worried...seems there was only a problem with DNS/name registration, as one could still access the site by their alternate domains (mypikpak.net, pikpak.me, maybe others). I'm glad it was that and not a server issue, but also, come on, that was really amateur to let their domain lapse!
It is a pain in the ass to download files to your computer
not so bad when you're downloading a movie, but when it is photo albums with 150 pics in each one, forget it. When premium is active, you can unpack zip/rar archives online, I wish they would let you do the reverse and zip the files so you can just download one. It wouldn't be hard to allow multiple downloads so they must have a reason - like encouraging you to download their program, or just to discourage downloads all together?What I've been doing is connecting using WebDAV (like FTP basically), the client I'm using is Transmit but there are lots of them like Cyberduck, etc. If you can get it working, you can go through the folders and select as many files as you want and just drag them to a folder on your PC. Much easier...but, I don't get very good download speeds. For downloading from the web I use an external program for multithreaded downloading which usually speeds things up quite a bit, but I don't know of any such option for WebDAV so it can be a lot of waiting (but at least you don't have to download the files one by one by one...)
Hard to compare for me as I've been on the road in different locations. I'm never getting crazy fast speeds, but definitely better than 200kb/s, that's quite bad. Sometimes the speed starts out fast and slows down as it progresses though, I don't know why.
Like I said above, I use a download accelerator and it really speeds things up. I recommend jDownloader in general, it has an ugly UI but it has been actively developed for a long time and they have built-in plugins for all kinds of different hosts so it knows how to get the best possible speeds by using configurations tailored to each host. It also helps with downloading galleries, downloading hard to capture embedded videos, streamlining downloads from limited filehosts, etc. It's pretty cool software, just not always the most intuitive.
Lol, I know people are so over the moon this thread sounds like a spam ad sometimes. But it is that awesome when it works ^_^ Cheers
Oh - and they're having a Black Friday sale ~$32 for a year, not bad at all.
It is amazing indeed! Thanks again for sharing Yellowvac!
I am still looking for additional sources to find magnet links though. Especially older magnetlinks. Today I'm primarily using JAVDB and BTDIG, and while BTDIG seems a bit better for finding older links, there's still a lot of movies I can't find any magnet links for. For example, I'm trying to find magnet inks for some 90s JAV titles from my favorite 90s JAV star, Junko Asamiya (麻宮淳子), like:
DAJ-068
The Best of No.1 麻宮淳子 Deluxe
OTF-010
官能姫 麻宮淳子
ITF-102
はちきれた欲望 麻宮淳子
OTF-025
ぷるんぷるんボディの反乱
OTF-021
奥様は女子校生
OTF-012
おねだりは3度まで
OTF-015
くわえ上手とよばないで！
But can't find links for any of these. Seems hard to imagine no one ever torrented any of these movies, and no magnetlinks exist for any of them. Not even dead ones.
Apreciate any suggestions anyone here could share for other sources of finding (old) magnet links. Thanks!

BTDig has been listening on the DHT network and collecting all activity since it started (so the last 8 years I believe). They have some (very crude) filters for child porn and other junk but if you're looking at public torrents, anywhere else you look is going to be a subset of what you see on BTDig. Popular alternatives to BTDig that are similar in function are bt4gprx.com and solidtorrents.to. You may prefer their interfaces but they won't return as many results as BTDig.
There are other less-legitimate DHT crawler sites (magnet-search, btsearch, probably plenty of others) that do similar but don't filter out anything, but you're not likely to find what you're looking for there. Private trackers are another story, I have never used one but I hear they can have much more available. I've never used one but you might look into that. Same with Usenet.
When I can't find movies, I'll try searching for the actress's name in English and Japanese, the code only (with and without hyphen), any alternative codes the scene was released under (e.g. compilation DVDs or different marketplaces for PPV videos), the series name only, the movie title only, etc. Beyond that I'll search Google for e.g. [ "OTF-010" porn forum ] to bring up forum links, etc. Yandex is also your friend as they aren't so concerned with copyright takedowns so they filter out a lot less than Google. They also have an excellent reverse image search. I use the excellent Firefox extension "Search by Image" which I use to do Yandex and Google reverse searches easily by right-clicking on an image.
Oh, and make sure you're clicking "show comments in all languages" on JAVLibrary movie pages so you can see all the links that might be there.
I've heard of it in passing. I thought I'd give it a look today but I couldn't find any way to sign up for the free level. I'm thinking it just comes as a suite (like Google drive, Gmail, etc.) and you just have to sign up for their overall service, but it may require you to download their software which I don't think is a great idea. If I understand the translation right, you don't have access to the cloud downloads for free tier.
I didn't want to waste more time on it, just seems like one of those Chinese things that's not for people outside of China. Often you'll need a local phone number, etc.
I'm not going to put more time in it just was curious about it. I'm not surprised to hear that is has superior coverage of jav compared to pikpak given that lots of rips come from china so it wouldn't be a surprise that they end up on chinese websites more often than english ones.
