GOD on the rizon.net IRC has generously offered the server for us to use for free. That's why we have an 8 download limit for every 24 hours so as to help reduce bandwidth usage by discouraging mass drive-by downloads. An upgrade of the server would be a bit on the costly side so we stuck with this option.

Zeus gets displeased and strikes everyone down with lightning when they are trying to take down the yuri.

Is fueled by the futa discussions and the subtext teasing

What does this mean?

There will be people who only visit our site to download as much as they want to and then leave. This is going to be more taxing on daily and monthly bandwidth than those who read things as they come by. So the limit was put into place to not only discourage that but to attempt to coerce people into visiting the scanlator's website to obtain it instead. I can't say how successful that is in regards to getting people to visit the scanlators but the limit seems to be of some use for now.

Wow. I didn't know there was a download limit, never saw it mentioned before, that's pretty interesting

I ran into it the other day while I had been trying to download chapters of renai manga.

Ends up kinda ineffective at times though when you have groups such as Fly by Yuri which only uploads to Dynasty and other groups which all too often don't include a release post link. (Lililicious and Yuri Project in particular I know have a habit of doing this one.)
