Question Downloads

Hey guys.

I'm curious as to how downloads work. I've downloaded 2-3 Star Trek models to see how they look, but then it says "You Have Achieved Your Max. Limit for Today." Does this mean I can't download anything until tomorrow? Does this limit increase as I post/visit the site more frequently? (Don't worry, I won't make a bunch of crap posts XD)

Yes, you've reached your download limit for the day. Yes it will increase as you post.

Settings I remember are registered users (registered with 0 posts) can download 3 files a day and have to wait 5 minutes between each download. Members who post get 30 seconds between each download, but I suppose the limit on the number of downloads per day is set at 3 until you reach a post threshold that seems to be 10 posts. At least that's the number I've seen often enough.

Okay, just making sure it's not something isolated with me. Thanks!

Welcome Treky2007. You have not been able to download anything because you have only registered and may have used up your download slots in browser errors. Once you make some posts, you can download easier and more frequently.

Hello

I too have that message which can be confusing.
I will try posting and then see if download becomes available.

Tx All

Good Day

Eventually there isn't a limit. Just keep posting. (but not, like, random posts.)

You must not have any trouble downloading, I am seeing that you have downloaded about 25 megs of data

Are you on a mobile device?
