Ooops, of course there is a mistake in this... I will slightly "punish" other users in "2)" 2) If we are 20 people downloading 20 files (and the server goes down in speed) then downloading a second file will make it some 5% slower for the other folks. 3) Cutting the speed only makes sense when the number of log-ins is limited as well. If the number is still smaller, the multiple downloads will cause no damage to anyone. If the number is reached, then my multiple downloads will lock out the next users who try it - but it will also finish my downloads faster, meaning that the next arrivals can log-in earlier. All in all - no damage!
