Whew Lots of questions
1) You are a "Member" and you are given 3 downloads per week. Once you hit the download button....even if you cancel right afterwards....it charges you.
2) Per week
3) The Rapidshare account that they are being uploaded to is Meppi's personal one. The benefit of Meppi using his Premium Rapidshare account is that the files are never deleted, so once uploaded.....they are there. If a member uploaded a magazine to a free Rapidshare account.....it would be deleted after 90 days.
4) Yes it is.....we hope to provide multiple ways for our members to download magazines. Maybe we could get a member that would lend there Premium MegaUpload to the cause
5) Its really up to when Meppi gets around to it, Meppi has his hands filled with scanning and editing releases.....and he does the best he can to get magazines uploaded asap. One thing to point out is that Meppi's bandwidth is capped each month, so if he gets near his limit....he needs to put off uploaded/downloading anything else.
With all that said, if people on this site want to upload our releases to torrents, newsgroups, dc++, rapidshare, megaupload or even there own personal FTP's for distribution......its fine with us. The end goal is to share these magazines.....but we usually have more hands requesting then wanting to help out.
