I'm sure there are a lot of folks that would like to do more for free ... I know I would! However, it's getting more and more difficult to find sites that will host free files without socking you for bandwidth charges. My ISP, for example, allows 6 gigs of bandwidth a month and charges 10 cents for each additional megabyte. Though that seems like a lot, it isn't when you consider how many downloads a good item can generate in a month. Let's say I create a cool model with textures that ends up being a 12 meg file. And let's say, conservatively, that 1000 people download that file in a month (that's not unreasonable ... some of the more popular downloads can be as high as 3000 or more a month). Anyway, if I put that 12 meg file on my own site, and 1000 people download it, I'd have to pay $600 for that free item that I'm giving away. Being a disabled self-employed person, that is unfortunately impossible for me to do. So, when artists put an item up for sale in the store, half of the proceeds of the sale go for the costs involved in hosting, bandwidth usage, and other necessities for keeping the communities here running smoothly. Is that such a bad thing?
