Hey, Colyn, I just wanted to say that I support anything you folks have to do to "keep everybody honest" as they say. Even if it means a bit of an inconvenience, though I can't see how that would be for a legit user. Here's how I see it...if I try downloading a file and I mess up or my computer eats it or whatever, three shots in a day is enough for me to get it rectified. If I'm so out of it that I mess up three times in a row, well, that's the price I'm willing to pay for not having my act together...I can wait another day. Now if by some chance I try it the next day and I see that it's not my flakiness and that it's something more involved or something I can't quite figure out, I'm sure that if I posted or sent one of you a PM that it would be straightened out very quickly as you would either show me the error of my ways or you might notice that there was, in fact, something wrong with the server and it would be rectified asap.
Just some thoughts from the peanut gallery. I don't think that your idea is unreasonable at all. In fact, the way I see it, the only "dilemma" you have is whether to keep the site cool for the mature, honest people that come here in appreciation of the talent and the atmosphere or you can start letting little stuff slide, waste a lot of bandwidth and have people taking advantage of the site and the good people that are dedicated to running and maintaining it for their own personal gains or agenda. And I would think, Colyn, that that would be a no-brainer.
Do what you have to do, and don't think twice about it. Those of us here who take the site and your efforts seriously don't want anybody messing things up for you or us! I don't think there's a serious member here that would think your plan was unreasonable.
Anyway, that's my $.05 U.S.
