Click “☆Premium” in the menu.
A list of plans will be displayed — click on “JAPAN PAYMENTS”.
Select the number of days you want to purchase and click “Add to Cart”.
Proceed to the cart and click Proceed to Payment.
After that, select your preferred payment method.
On the screen, enter the required information. Since there are some payment methods unique to Japan, if you’re unsure, using a credit card is recommended.

Recommended tools for uploaders
Download Assistant Tool: JDownloader2
After upgrading to a premium account, it is recommended to use JDownloader2, a downloader that supports various websites, including overseas uploaders.
By simply registering your premium account, you can manage bandwidth and other settings in one place.
When using uploaders, please set up a VPN environment for better security and privacy
For privacy and security reasons, we recommend using a VPN.
“VPN” stands for Virtual Private Network. Simply put, it allows you to use the internet through a virtual “dedicated line.” By changing your IP address to different countries, you can enhance your anonymity and privacy online.
Without using a VPN, your IP address can expose everything from your browsing history to your download history, meaning there is no real anonymity.
As using international services has become more common, I recommend using VPN services like AirVPN, ExpressVPN, or NordVPN to enhance your anonymity.
I personally use all three VPNs, but among them, NordVPN is particularly focused on anonymity, so I highly recommend it.
Frequently Asked Questions About HotLink

From the top menu, click “My Hotlink” → “My Account”.
Enter the premium coupon you received from preaka.jp into the “Apply Premium Key” field, then click “Apply”.

How to turn off automatic updates in HotLink
HotLink does not have an auto-renewal system.
When your premium period ends, your account will automatically revert to the free plan.
What if I can’t download a HotLink file?
Here are some possible reasons why you may not be able to download files from HotLink:
- Is it a Premium-Only File?
The file may be restricted to premium members only, meaning free users cannot download it. - Have You Already Downloaded the File?
If you’ve already downloaded the file, you might be subject to a wait time due to download limits. - File Size Limitation?
Free users are subject to file size restrictions, so check if the file exceeds the limit. - Has the File Been Deleted?
The file might have been removed from the server, preventing you from downloading it.
Free users are subject to parallel download restrictions, meaning that once a file download is detected as started, you must wait a certain period before downloading the next file.
By purchasing a premium plan, all these restrictions will be lifted—except for cases where a file has been deleted.
Download Bandwidth on HotLink
HotLink has a download bandwidth limit.
- Premium → 65GB / 2days
HotLink Download Speed
Download speeds may vary depending on the time of day, but when I tested downloading a file during peak evening hours, I got speeds of 10MB to 20MB.
Since download speeds can also change depending on the subscription period, long-term testing is recommended for a more accurate assessment.
HotLink Downloads Are Slow
HotLink generally offers high-speed downloads, but in some cases, download speeds may slow down due to factors such as server congestion or the distance to the server.
If your download speed is slow, try changing the time of day you download or, if you’re using a VPN, switching to a different server location may help improve the speed.
About HotLink PLG Premium Link Generator
There is no optimal Premium Link Generator (PLG) for HotLink. Considering factors like download bandwidth and speed, purchasing a premium plan directly from the official site ensures a more stable experience.
Additionally, buying directly from the official site supports the uploader, helping to sustain the service.
About HotLink Resellers
Due to the weak yen, if you have U.S. dollars, preaka.jp is a recommended option as it allows purchases in Japanese yen.
Some payment methods are only available in Japan, so please use a credit card for your purchase.
Is HotLink Safe? Is It Illegal?
HotLink is a platform designed for file storage and sharing and operates legally.
However, some users upload and share copyrighted content illegally. Such actions are against the law, and knowingly downloading copyrighted material is also illegal. To avoid any legal issues, please use the service responsibly and refrain from engaging in unauthorized file sharing.
Summary
