When I was last a member there it was quite annoying when enforced (which I found to be quite regularly). From what others have said it seems as though it might not be there for returning members, which I was one but didn't sign up through one of their email offers. This was nine months ago though, so things may have changed - certainly seems from comments as it is still quite random as far as enforcement goes. It may be that they have different material on different servers or something and don't track between them well.

Thanks for the reply.
I was a member of a Japanese porn site that had a download limit. I didn't exceed the limit, but I was blocked anyway, because their download limit counter didn't count correctly. That happened to me a few times, and I got so frustrated, I barely used my 1 month membership at the site. Emotions triumphing over practicality.
So that's why I am hesitant about joining this network, even though some of the videos might be appealing.

When I was a member the limit was imposed on me and was usually imposed lower than the 10GB limit. I reviewed the Terms of Service and found the applicable clause to be vague. I still do. I contacted the site and asked for clarification on how they interpret that clause and did not receive an answer. Even if they didn't respond to my specific email, you'd think that if they saw the confusion here they'd weigh in and provide some clarification.
The vague element of theTOS is what are "big movies". The TOS makes it sound like the daily limit is 25GB, but I never experienced that. To further complicate matters, the way you're downloads get reactivated is also confusing. My recollection is that after 24 hours I didn't get my 10GB back, but only got it back over a period of hours. So if I hit the limit at 10PM on day one, I wasn't given 10GB at 10:01PM on day two. I was given some download ability but would quickly hit the wall again and have to wait an hour or so before I could download more. That was frustrating enough, but to add to my frustration was when I would read comments from other PU members who reported no limits.
I don't think I'm an unusual PU in what I download, but with file sizes approaching 1GB and fiber op connections becoming more common I think a lot of people would find a 10GB limit low.
I'm not opposed to limits, but they need to be realistic, clear and evenly applied. This site lacks those elements. That's too bad too, because I liked the content and would rejoin otherwise.

Thanks, RA (RA for rearadmiral, but also stood for Regular Army back in the day).
I'm going to give this site a pass. Too much uncertainty about the download limit problem, for me.

Unlike the other two people, I downloaded about 20GB in a day, and was never got any warnings about hitting any limit or was slowed down at all. And as you can tell from my comment, I'm more recent than the other two. And a reply to my comment says that they didn't hit it until 60GB.

I'd probably go with hodya's sentiments over mine, as he was certainly a more recent member, and I'm sure things change fast. Although I probably wont be joining here again until the limit is gone or stated as being much higher (or weekly), as I tend to only download on the weekends, so the limit was a particular nuisance for me.

Probably a good idea. I like their material but found myself frustrated by the site.
Interesting note on the RA thing. I wasn't aware of that. Even though I have a naval name, I wear an army uniform. I just couldn't think of any army-oriented, ass-related pun for a name...
