Our paid files are hosted on Amazon AWS which can pump out 100MB/s or faster.. any slow downloads are ISP/local issues
As for the free files, well if you chose that option you will have to spend more time

It's not possible, and that has been said thousands of times.
There many People that are downloading the mod at the same time, especially when a new Version Comes out. And no Upload site has the capability for this amount of data being downloaded in the same time. So those Servers would Crash in matter of minutes, and the Mod would be most likely taken down by the Hosters. This is why the Mod has to be uploaded on our Servers with the bandwith Limitation on the free Version.
There's no other way then this.

You're getting something for free that people have put alot of time into and you complain? Complain to your ISP instead for your slow internet connection.
Or, just pay $1 to download the mod. You already spend 30 times that on the game itself so what's $1 now and then to get something that you get additional hours of entertainment out of?

This is a kind of complaint I loathe. People who think they should get everything handed to them without doing any work themselves...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm having trouble downloading. I've got 1, 2, 3 and 4, but now I'm trying to get 5 and 6 it's telling me I've maxed out my limit. 3 and 4 have downloaded. From what I can see I'm downloading nothing, but it's telling me I've exceeded my limit. Tried logging out and logging back in, but it didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?

Besides, Mega won't allow us to host it for free. We would use too much bandwidth, so we would have to upgrade to a paid plan and it won't be a free hosting anymore ;)
