Thank you for your feedback on the download limits. This is very much a matter of thresholds in that while you've got some 50MB of downloads (from some of the top skinners and authors on the planet), at the end of the day, somebody has to pay for the bandwith and servers to provide them.
There are lots of different options for products you can purchase from Stardock that will remove that limit. Be that purchasing DesktopX, IconPackager, ObjectBar, WindowBlinds, or the full Object Desktop suite (which includes all of the above and more).
There are also subscriptions directly to WinCustomize, which get you access to premium suites, an integrated skin browser, and more features as WinCustomize evolves.
If you hit the download cap, you've downloaded 50MB of goodies and haven't offered anything back. Be that by purchasing a WinCustomize subscription, Stardock products, or by participating in the community and creating new content.

Good morning Kris (Nakor)!
Also, a good thing to remember, there are products that are less than $10 that can be purchased that will not only give you a great product, but will also get rid of the download cap.
It's also hard to imagine why somebody would download so much if they didn't have registered software to use it on........

Ok, as a self professed download junkie, I was also a little p.o.'ed when i hit the limit.
which sent me off in search of fresh prey to hunt.
well, as a major DesktopX lover,, There isn't anything else out there. Really.
Even awesome sites like deviantart don't have the stuff that is here.
in terms of quality, quantity, and cleaness of site. there isn't ANYTHING that matches WC.
And with the internet changing and more and more sites requiring you to "register" to use them
"fee" sites were only a matter of time.
You can take your chances at other sites and register and download garbage or nothing at all. (and then have your email address sold and get flooded with spam, "see, you pay one way or another")
or come here, cough up a couple bucks and/or upload and give back.
Hitting my download limit was a bit of a revelation to me,, "hey self" i says to my self, "you've been wanting to learn to make your own stuff so now is the time,, it's time to give back.. after all, your modem goes in both directions you know"
so myself says to me "ok,, lets do it"
So in short, the quality of this site (go ahead and compare) is worth a couple bucks and/or a few K/upload.

Subscribers are level 4........ so, did you really purchase a subscription? If yes, then you have failed to cross reference your email accounts?
If you weren't aware that some Stardock products are shareware, that's not anyone's fault but yours.... you must do your own thinking.
It's akin to signing up for the "coffee of the month club", and then complaining because you have to buy a coffee maker.

This was quoted earlier today:
"There are also subscriptions directly to WinCustomize, which get you access to premium suites, an integrated skin browser, and more features as WinCustomize evolves"
what is an "integrated skin browser"?
