There are people that contribute towards running costs with donations or by purchasing a subscription and we would like to express our gratitude once more towards them,

and there are people that just register multiple accounts so they can download more files on a daily basis.

The second category are the reason we have drastically reduced the daily allowable download limit and we are actively suspending those accounts on a daily basis.

If you need more content this might be a good time to consider contributing instead of leeching.

Thank you all again for your support so far

I have been a VIP for over 2 years now and my daily limit has always been 20 downloads. I have brought this up several times.

I have renewed only at Elite because of the cost and the system not being fixed.

Elite states 100 downloads per day, and it is still only 20.

Please fix this as it is unfair to those of us who have helped support the site.

Thanks

i know for fact that Elite Members can download 100 files per day,

download logs indicate that you have downloaded a total of 129 files only on October 22, 2014 ( yesterday )

Nick,

There is something wrong with your logs and system. I would not be contacting you or posting in your forum if there wasn't a problem.

Here are 2 screen caps of the last downloads, there times and when it stopped after the 2nd set of 20.

You can clearly see what was downloaded on Oct 21, then I had to resume on Oct 23, and then was stopped again.

Thanks

The logs from your system as shown above have many duplicate entries.

That is not 129 Games.

it makes sense when you are using download managers, this is possibly the reason you are making several connections on each file thus counting as redownloading

if you redownload a file 100 times the system will count 100 downloads and not 1

It didn't make sense to me before since I don't know how IPB handles downloads and connections.

I have set it to one connection per download and I see that is reflected in the log.

Ill see now if I can get past the 20 game limit..

I suspect I will work

we had to disable downloads due to abuse sky rocketing during the past week,

we had a couple particular new members registering 6 (yes, six) accounts from the same IP just for downloads.

Reverted daily limit to former status,

still under constant monitoring following recent abuse on new account registrations
