Yes we limit what you can download for $3, guilty as charged. Would you like a site with 500 videos for $3? So would I. LOL

if you take bigger sites for example you get the possibility of unlimited downloads in trial memberships. therfore it`s a teaser for the tryout member, who sees that even if he got theroretical the possibility to download all, not really able is to download a minimum of it. therfore he will come back.
and something else...
it would be great if you change the dl possibility into a better running system. for my taste it`s a big minus.

Sorry if this sounds a bit tough but it's how the higher user connections are effecting us all. The more people who can surfer faster means the more load on sites servers. And more cost to the site owners.
With some connections and auto downloaders the amount some people will suck down in three days makes it impossible not to limit the DL for ALL members on sites of a certain size. To limit people paying $3 for 72 hours of downloading is common sense. It is set at 2.5 GB per hour and 5GB a day. That 20 to 15 scenes of the high quality per day for a $.
I can see why you don't like my present limits. Would you like it higher?
A message to all surfers and members.
Hosting costs money, most pay from 5 cents to 10 cents a GB. The more you pay the faster it runs. This is after you've bought the servers, paid for the housing of the servers at an ISP. Now site owners could spend more money on server speeds, relax download limits and allow people to get more content in less time.
Who will pay for it? And don't say more sign ups because each extra sign up costs money. Or we reduce the market of large sites to a few and members have less choice.
Sorry but I feel at $ a day 5 GB is excellent value.
I did a test when we installed the download limits and it was fine.

if i am honestly, i would never join a site from which i know that it has got a dl limit, wheter if it`s for a trial or a regular membership. therfore i would never have joined the trial if i had knew about the limit.
if youre budget didn`t allow other pric structuress, then it`S youre choice, but in my opinion there is a lot money to earn even if you make it in another way....
but nevertheless i am very happy to see, that even we have different point of views, that there is a dialogue. most of the admins of other sites seems not to be interested in members opinions.

Always willing to listen, not always willing to change though. LOL
I honestly wished more members would talk to site owners and tell us what they think. We can only supply the product you want if we talk to each other. We might say no, that's something you have to consider.
Some sites do allow more DL speed and hope the members who don't DL it are going to pay for those who do. As you will see I shoot a lot for Sapphic, they just installed a DL limiter.
With surfers and members being offered higher connections, computer hard drives getting bigger and site hosting not get cheaper expect more big sites to limit DL. It's got to happen. Unless it's a smaller site.
