First of all...thanks! Really thank you. I have to admit, that i doubted to see this site going online ever again, since it had been set to restricted access during the last year. But it´s great to see the wealth of great tutorials for free all online now. I´m still waiting for a day with a tutorial, that interests me, so i can´t say, if it works for me right now.
But - and i say this with all the necessary respect and understanding, that you have to try to keep the traffic somewhat manageable - i personally do not like the way, you are handling the downloads right now. This kind of "one download only at a specific date" makes it very difficult to really get the stuff you want to have in a reasonable time. For example if you are working on a project, where heavy use of MOTOR (just picking something...) is necessary and we have for example the 9th of the actual month and it wasn´t clear on the 8th, that you might need those knowledge, then you have to wait a whole month. And mostly this is too long to be still a help. Or on the other hand...what if you really wan´t to see a tutorial, but have to wait one month and then you are not able to be at the computer that specific day....yet another month, you have to wait.
Again...i do understand, that you have to use some kind of system to restrict the amount of downloads and i also do not want to be mistaken as being ungrateful for everything you offer here FOR FREE...i just want to state, that i do not think, that this is the optimal system. Why not using a free registration? A user-account, that needs a valid email and has a restricted amount of downloads per month. So the total number of downloads is somehow limited but the users still have some more flexibility.
By the way...the actual system might run you into bandwidth-trouble, when it comes to the tutorials, that are really interesting for the masses and everybody tries to get them on this specific date (the ice-tuts for example.
And yet again...thank you for everything ;)
