2. If users go over allowed attachments, add a count down timer, that they will have to wait before they can download.

These 2 options would be mod of the month for sure!

1. I have 90 00 members on my site, I had a thread created 4 days ago which had a 1.9 meg attachment in it. within 4 days, 30 000 people have downloaded it, that is almost 60GB of bandwidth! I doubt those downloads were unique!

People can login create a bot, and then have that bot keep downloading that attachment to waste bandwidth. Having a catpcha image, would make the bot useless.

Not everyone may want this, but at least having the option in the admincp to turn it on/off would be great! as I would use it for sure!

2. I mean like rapidshare, if they go over then the countdown timer starts exactly like rapidshare, with ajax, so they dont have to refresh etc.

thanks.
