Once you exceed your limit, your dropped to dialup speeds until you fall back within their range. Allready happened once and lost good speeds for about 3 weeks. How else could I contribute to this great site, assuming I do not want to limit my downloads too much?

I've heard of other people having this same problem and they've 'solved' it by finding someone else to become a downloading partner with them. So, each person downloads a couple of (different) shows a month and then they 'trade' them with each other. Of course, this means finding someone with similar taste in music.

Other things you can do to help contribute here are to start Vines or offer B&Ps of the shows you've downloaded (both of those things will show up in your User Profile). If you like to make cover art, you can help do that for some shows (a lot of people like to store their shows in nice cases with covers).
