This is leechage at it’s worse.

Bluehost limits users to 50 at a time and the person who’s dl’ed over 60 gbs can never listen to that many episodes in his/her lifetime.

I will continue to monitor how many gbs a user downloads per month.  Please remember that the limit is 10 gigs per month, which is plenty for the average user.  Thus far this month, we’ve had 2589 users downloading 1005 gigs.

I highly recommend that each person get a net monitor to monitor his/her downloads.

They have disabled the ‘password strength’ but have placed a restriction that ‘all passwords must be at least 20 in strength’.  What this does is effectively limit the number of library users to the current level.

Don’t’ know if this is because we are approaching 5,000 users or what and they consider that too many downloading too many files or what, but please be patient as we try to figure out a way around this problem.
