space- you shared the ML extra wallpapers on here yesterday via your dropbox correct?
I remember because I waited for your link. Must have gotten a lot of hits. That's what I figure...

yeah, I guess that's it, 143 MB IIRC, and I also shared 600 MB with my inlaws, so I guess that was too much bandwidth smiling smiley

You do understand how bandwidth works, correct? That is 143MB PER PERSON who downloaded it. Could easily have been hundreds of gigabytes. Only takes 100 people for 10GB.

they don't have a specific cap, but they will cut you off if they think you're using the service in ways they didn't intend for it to be used...

here's a link on the dropbox forum that may give you some insight into this policy:

I also found the cap explained here

[www.dropbox.com]

ML desktops are 145 MB. if you guys used all my 20 GB cap, that means about 138 pf you downloaded the nice ML desktops. That's OK, maybe some of you can share with those that didn't download yet.

don't forget how well-placed this site is in google searches - the thread title included search bait words like, Amazing, Secret, Wallpapers & Hidden AND a thread right below it had the word 'free'...

138 people is nothing. Look at how many people clicked on the thread.
