If you receive a notice that you have exceeded our bandwidth allowances, you have downloaded an extremely excessive amount of data from our site – way more than the entire amount content of the site, including downloading many files more than once!
We’re a small company who has to pay for your downloads, this is factored into our pricing.
We have frozen your account, so you can browse pages on the site but not download any content.
It’s unlikely you’d have a valid excuse for this, but you can contact us to discuss it if you wish. Some of the popular excuses that won’t wash are:
- “I didn’t read the terms and conditions!”: You are required to agree to the terms and conditions before you join the site. We realise that not everyone reads the fine print, but unfortunately, it’s a fact of life.
- “I gave my password to my buddies”: You paid for the site for you, not for your buddies. Tell them to join themselves!
- “I installed this special program to mirror the site, but I did not know how to use it…”: We don’t need you to mirror the site, thanks all the same. You are responsible for software you install. Ignorance is not an excuse.
- “I got a new download manager, but I did not know how to use it…”: Again, not out fault. Your computer downloaded it!
- “It wasn’t me!”: You’re responsible for your password, which is the only way to access the site. We advise you to keep it secure. Our software does not make mistakes: we count each megabyte you downloaded.
