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.
