Short answer: no.

 

Long answer: no, and please don't try to get around the restrictions, because banning people is never any fun.

 

A paying membership does open more downloads before you hit your cap, but because people in the past have taken that to mean, "Queue up 1,027 downloads in my manager," one at a time is the only way to go, at least for direct downloads. Material downloaded from third-party links is subject to their policies concerning simultaneous or multiple downloads, so we always recommend using those if you want to get more bang for your buck.

 

Also, forum participation, adding material to the databases, and scanning new magazines are all ways to access more daily downloads that don't cost anything. Since you've registered and taken the first step, don't stop now!

a lot of people downloading a lot of magazines puts a ton of strain on the server so it is discouraged.

 

look at it this way: while you're downloading the 2nd mag, you can be reading the first! it's a win-win!!

Wasn't trying get around the limits I meant is there a way to download the collection video via one big file,

Not at present, unfortunately.

 

Torrents were used in the past, but are unwieldy because people were downloading and not seeding, and every time a new mag was released the torrent would have to be updated. Newsgroups are another possibility under discussion, but I'm not sure where things stand with them at the moment.

 

Basically, one big file just ain't gonna happen right now. :(
