MODS - I posted this in the Team Skeet thread too but figured I might get an answer here since it is potentially tech related. I hope that's not a violation.

Has anyone been having issues downloading from Team Skeet? I signed up for a membership at "Not My Grandpa" on Thursday and have been having download problems since then. Or, maybe the bad news is that I'm not having any problems and Team Skeet has imposed an absurdly low download limit.

When I download a scene (one scene, less than 2GB) and then go to download another, as I would with any other membership I've had in the past two decades, I get this:

You have too many downloads recently. Wait a few minutes and try again.

It appears that the wait is somewhere around 15 to 20 minutes before I'm allowed to download another 2GB scene.

I also have a membership to Daughter Swap too and it's doing the same thing there. (The two memberships are separate with different usernames.)

Also, when I am permitted to start a download there is a high failure rate. The downloading will just drop, often right at 99% and won't restart.

I'm using Internet Download Manager (which I have used on Team Skeet many, many times over the past years). I'm only downloading one file at a time - I'm not trying to download multiple files at once.

I've opened a ticket and they replied with some questions, which I answered. They didn't come out and say that this is a new download limit and I hope it isn't. I hope this is a technical glitch and it gets resolved, otherwise my long relationship with Team Skeet will come to a grinding halt.

Is anyone else experiencing anything similar with Team Skeet?

[Update - I've tried temporarily disabling Internet Download Manager and that MIGHT have solved the problem. I say that this might have solved the problem because without IDM the download speeds using Chrome are insanely slow. We're talking speeds that would make 1995 embarrassed. For example, one test file was less than 600MB and it took nearly 10 minutes to download.]

Most porn sites don't like internet managers and prefer we use browser (google, firefox) to download. That being said check your idm max connections setting. I limit mine to 4 connections and haven't had any download issues (not even from team skeet).

Thanks for the tip. I set the maximum connections to just two figuring that wouldn't trigger the 'too many downloads' warning. I downloaded the new scene and then went to test it by downloading another scene. That download failed, as many have been doing since this problem started. I cancelled the download and started over and was successful this time. Then I tried downloading a third scene (within about five minutes) and was shut out for having too many downloads.

There is still the issue of speed too. On other sites I regularly see download speeds in excess of 80MB/s. Since last week, my download speeds at Team Skeet have rarely hit above 20MB/s and the average is below 10. Plus, there's the whole download failure rate which is around 50% - and even those failures seem to count against me.

I did try a test using the browser to download. I tried downloading a low resolution file and the estimated time for a 600MB file was 10 minutes.

I can't be the only member experiencing this.

It seems they're using a script to limit download speeds. Empty your browser cache, restart machine and try again, maybe with a different browser. Next time, ask a site if they limit downloads or allow IDM before signing up. Not sure why sites don't allow unlimited downloads, bandwidth is cheap and they have paying members.

^ Thanks for weighing in. I have learned, through contact with Team Skeet, that they have just recently stopped permitting the use of download managers. This was the result of an increased subscriber base and the thought that allowing download managers was unfair to those not using them. Admittedly, the reason I saw faster download speeds is that IDM is configured to use eight parallel download streams.

I've reverted to using one download stream on TS and this does seem to have made the downloads more stable, but the average speed I'm seeing is less than 5 MB/s. Keep in mind that I use IDM by default so I really have no idea what download speeds are like on other sites without a DL Manager. So I checked, and with both a Gamma and a Puffy network membership I saw downloads of between 40 and 60 MB/s. Legal Porno saw downloads similar to TS. HUHS was pretty much in the middle.

TS has said that they are reconsidering the bar on download managers.

I'd be okay with a reasonable daily download limit. Adult Time, I've read, has a 300GB per day limit. I'd be fine with even 100 GB per day. But I'd like to get better speeds.

^ Didn't want to open a Conversation unasked for I guess, but, also didn't want to derail your thread, however; you've piqued my interest rearadmiral with your mention of The Puffy Network

I've had the Puffy Network bookmarked since just before Christmas, thinking about snagging a year. The price seems great. Or the Lifetime Membership, if that's what it really entails, it seems a pittance to pay.

I'm keen on what you think of it and all that jazz. My main interest there is the "Wet" part, Puffiness is only an added bonus as it comes. Did you snag a Lifetime and is it just as you think it would mean?

Edit: Joined. Having a blast! Watched two Teana videos so far, it's as I'd hoped, shall we say. Price for the year couldn't be beat.

^ I'm glad to hear you like it. I've been trying to branch out a bit with my porn subscriptions and this one seemed like a good bet. I like it too.
