    Curious

    Would just like someone to explain why you are only able to get two or three templates at a time then it states you have your daily limit. What's up with that?

    There were people who thought it was fun to download one and the same template (the largest they could find) about a hundred times a day. That caused 2.5 GB extra bandwidht every day, or 75 GB a month. With a bandwith price of $1 to $2, you can imagine what such "jokes" would cost each month.
    As you probably know, websites do have to pay for the bandwidth they use. So, I had the choice, Eighter pay a lot of money from my own pocket, stop hosting files and images or give everybody a reasonable daily download limit.

    I have chosen for the last option. And generally it works like you stated. Users that are not (very) active on this site can download 3 files or some MB limit (which is reached first). People who are registered and active in a positive way and/or share files can download a bit more every day.

    I am sure that will be no big issue, since you cannot make more skins for different aircraft in one single day anyway.

    Litle update and correction. I checked the download settings.
    All registered users can download 100 MB a day. No limit on the number of files. With an average size of 10 MB that would make about 10 templates a day.

    Since you claim only to be able to download two or three templates at a time, I've been investigating and your stats show that you downloaded six templates right before you made this post.
    Maybe some of the downloads failed? (Though I didn't see any double downloads from you)
