Subscription model change

 

 IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ

I've just have been contacted by sendowl, they say I'm way over bandwidth and they are going to start charging me for it, potentially hundreds of dollars. I've ran some numbers, given the file size and number of subscribers it's imposible, by a long shot, that I've reached that bandwidth in such a short time-frame. The only explanation that I find plausible is that either someone has been downloading non-stop for 2 weeks (ridiculous) or, most likely, someone has shared a subscription link in a pirate site and several people had downloaded the entire thing.

Put simply, I cannot afford this overcharge, nor similar charges in the future. I don't want to do this but I really have no choice other than this or just give up and close the shop. In short, I've reverted the subscription model to the old way, it now only gives access to the latest release and sets that are released during active subscription. There's also a 3 attempt download limit that has to be reset manually if reached.

Again, I'm sorry for having to do it, but I really don't see any way around it.
