i don't like the per download suggestion maybe a subscription system like X amount of dollars a month gets you Y amount of downloads a day/week.

I don't like the download limits either, and I apologize but they have to be there or the site won't stay up/will cost a lot more to run. As it is, we are using one full server and an additional backup, and yes, that does cost about $560 a month, plus tech fees.

I will look into desertstriker's idea, that may be a better system. That way at least, the people helping keep the sit up will have better access.
