• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

No more downloading

So I thought I'd download some sceneries to supplement a bit of flying I'll be doing around Maine. Went to the library and snagged a few. Tried to get another and was informed the limit was two gig which I just hit so I was not allowed to download any more. Well, color me surprised. I don't download stuff very often so this must be lifetime.

I figured the lifetime limit per screen name was 2 gig and I was supposed to take out a new name to get the sceneries. I didn't understand why but I did that and somehow I was still at the limit. Dang. Apparently, there is a lifetime download limit per person of two gig. Ok. I think that's kind of odd but the owners here set the rules. So that's it.
 
Charter Members of 2016 are allowed 125 files or 5GB per day in downloads. Past Charter and Members+ get 100 files or 2GB per day in downloads while ordinary Members get 75 files or 1GB per day maximum.

There's no lifetime limit I know of
 
I got everything downloaded and figured out the problem.

What happens is a lot of the time when I click download, it acts like it's happening but nothing gets downloaded so I need to click again. I should have known because the program makes me wait a minute whether it actually downloads or not. Obviously it records the size and it counted against me. Kind of a malfunction in the program.
