Which kills their bandwidth.
Look, they ask you to only download two pieces a day. To download more is just wrong. That's how the site will end up having to be shut down because they won't be able to afford it.
Please don't do it!

Many sites have to pay for the amount of traffic that they generate. If a site generates too much traffic, the internet provider can get "backlogged." The site may go down, the server may crash, and other unspeakable things can happen.

Think of "bandwidth" as the size of the pipe that connects you to the internet. The bigger the pipe, the more data can be transferred. The bigger the pipe, the more you pay. The more the demands, the more a given size pipe can't handle the requests.

Please, respect their requests.

Yah, you can download it all at once, but, seriously, how much are you going to actuall PLAY in a given day/week/month/year. Be selective about your downloads and don't jepoardize this wonderful site.

My 1/50 of a dollar.

Oh wow, I had no idea things like that could happen. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'm locking this.
