I agree there is nothing worse, well ok a few things worse but it is very annoying cause sometimes you only get certain days to do some downloading and when you have a limit of just 2GB it can soon go when movies themselves are being around that size, it doesn't make very good business sense in my mind as so many will be put off by them but I do also sympathize with the costs it must be to run a site and have reliable servers and stuff comes at a high cost but other sites seem to manage without these download limits, I too refuse though to join a site with them.

I suppose the reason for the limits is to reduce posting on "free" sites, but it would only stem the flow temporarily and at the expense of the honest paying user.
Or maybe it's to keep the user coming back? I don't know ...
Anyway, I doubt anyone "likes" download limits. When I've joined sites that have them, I always put the downloads in a single folder then checked to see how much it was growing in size so that I could avoid the "lockout" experience. (Gee, it's like a marriage that goes from good to very bad in less than a day!)

I know the frustration, but since I use a download accelerator, I can actually set it to limit the amount of data it downloads in a 24 hour period, so that is a convenient work around. You just queue up a lot of shit and check back in a few days.

With our great modern internet, is there a practical reason for limits? As already mentioned with the constant reduction in costs, I would think this is something that would be a thing of the past.
As Drooler points out this isn't going to end piracy - so what's the goal?

I'm no fan of download limits either, but I guess a site can choose to do what it wants. Same with streaming-only sites. But I will say that a limit this low (the terms of service indicate a 1.5GB limit) makes no sense and would only serve to annoy customers and deter potential customers.
