1 Prohibited content
- Sexual content involving minors (CSAM) is strictly prohibited. Any violation results in immediate, irrevocable account termination and is reported to the relevant law enforcement authorities.
- Files must not contain malware, phishing material, instructions for illegal activities, or content that promotes violence, terrorism or discrimination.
- Distributing copyrighted material without the rights holder's consent is not permitted. Valid DMCA notices lead to removal of the affected file. Repeated violations may result in closure of the affiliate account.
2 Genuine, organic traffic
- Only traffic from real human visitors is compensated. Bots, click farms, automated tools and script-driven downloads are prohibited and lead to forfeiture of all affected earnings.
- DDownload may verify traffic sources on every payout request. You must be able to identify where your downloads originate. Failure to provide a verifiable source may result in account suspension without payout.
- Traffic from VPN or proxy connections is compensated at a reduced rate in the PPS model for anti-fraud reasons.
- Traffic from low-quality or anonymous sources (e.g. plain link collections with no recognizable editorial value) is not or only partially compensated.
3 Counting & limits
- A maximum of 3 downloads per unique IP address are counted within any 24-hour window.
- Incomplete downloads and downloads from visitors with an active ad blocker are not compensated.
- Files must be at least 100 KB to qualify for compensation. Thumbnails, plain images and empty files are excluded.
4 Prohibited promotion methods
- Spam in any form – bulk email, forum spam, manipulative social media posts or comments without the site operator's consent – leads to immediate suspension.
- Misleading buttons, pop-unders, fake download links or other forced-click mechanisms are not permitted. DDownload links must be clearly recognizable as such.
- Hotlinking, iframe embedding or masking DDownload links through third-party redirects is not allowed.
5 Account & payout
- One affiliate account per person only. Multiple accounts will be closed without payout.
- Deliberately deleting files with existing earnings to manipulate statistics or payouts is treated as fraud. Affected amounts will not be paid and the account may be suspended.
- At the time of a payout request, your account must show active traffic on existing files. Stopping traffic while a payout is being processed is not permitted.
- Files with zero downloads are automatically removed 30 days after upload. All other files are stored for as long as the account remains active.
- DDownload reserves the right to adjust commission rates, payout schedules and program terms with reasonable advance notice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the DDownload affiliate program?
It is a partner program that lets you monetize uploaded files. Every time someone downloads one of your files, or buys a Premium plan through your referral link, you earn a commission. It is free to join – you just need a DDownload account.
Which earning model should I choose – PPD, PPS or MIX?
PPD works best if you share large files and generate a high volume of downloads. PPS is ideal if your audience tends to convert into paying customers (e.g. through a review or tutorial site). MIX gives you a balanced share of both, and is a good starting point.
How do I reach VIP (PPD2) rates?
VIP status is granted to high-volume partners with consistent, high-quality traffic. You can apply through the VIP tab in your affiliate dashboard once you meet the requirements. PPD2 rates can be up to 4x higher than standard PPD rates.
When and how do I get paid?
Payments are processed within a week or monthly depending on volume. The minimum payout threshold is €10. Supported methods include PayPal, major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT TRC20), Webmoney, Payeer, Advcash, SEPA and Wire Transfer.
What counts as a valid download?
A download must be completed by a real human visitor without an active ad blocker. A maximum of 3 downloads per unique IP per 24 hours are counted. Files must be at least 100 KB in size.
Can I use this program to share any type of content?
No. Content that violates DDownload's Terms of Service – including CSAM, malware, phishing material, and copyrighted works shared without authorization – is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate account termination. See the Rules section above for the full list.
