Why exactly is there a max download policy?

Let me make two points:

1. We are dealing with information, not 'things'. It would concievably cost Renderosity next to nothing to allow unlimited downloads of purchases, and may even save money by reducing time spend on resetting everyone's download quota when they have messed up the download.
2. The bandwith cost of making downloads available allready appears to be controled by the temporary timelimit you have on the links. ( If I download the products within a certain time after opening the download page, I get 'file no longer available' errors, which are solved by reloading the page.)

It seems to me everybody would be much happier without a max download limit. What concrete factors are stopping you from doing so?

Unfortunately we had members that felt the need to share their member name and password to allow others to download items freely. It's simply a security issue to help prevent the illegal distribution using Renderosity's system. yvette renderosity admin

If they are willing to let other people mooch off them by giving out those details... won't they also be emailing or giving away the stuff they eventually download this way? By the way... Is your server - set up to/ can I - use a download manager like JetCar or GoZilla or whatever? Suze.

Suze, No you cannot use a download manager, most of them interfere with the download process. Thanks for asking though. yvette
