Just kill repetitive infringement accounts, react on DMCA complaints quickly, and prevent reported files from being uploaded again by storing and comparing md5-hashes.

While we understand that there is a perception that some sites are not receiving attention, the fact is that nothing could be further from the truth.
We do not discuss our targets in advance of them being dealt with unless strategically imperative for us to do so and there are many different reasons why some sites may take longer than others to deal with.
While I am not commenting on Hotfile.com, I can say that in some cases the investigations required to acheive a result can be extremely lengthy and the body of evidence required is sometimes huge. There are also other issues at play in some cases including third party investigations.
As I said, we do usually do not reveal targets until they are dealt with and we do not discuss operational matters, so for the moment I would suggest that you simply watch this space.
