Speed Limit

Sorry but, why do we have one. My comp can download a plane in a matter of a second or two, but with the slow speed limit, it takes 5 or so minutes.

One of the benefits of being a paying member is higher download speeds. It's only about 20 bucks a year. And it helps to keep the site alive.

Imagine 1 million files downloaded monthly at unlimited speeds?

Did you actually realise that the most expensive part of the internet is bandwidth?

I suggest you do some pricing on web hosting at 300 to 500GB per day .. then you might begin to realise why we have a 'pay for speed' reality ....  8-)

That's what it is now -- It would be WAY more if it was unleashed ...
