Since 1999 we've never imposed a BW/download limit on our sites.
Granted, we don't have video - strictly still photography...so bandwidth isn't as big a consideration for us.
But I have to agree with Shap on this. Limiting a paying customer's ability to download as much as he/she likes could cause the customer irritation and potential loss of retention at some point.
Imagine if you were to rent 3 DVDs from your local BlockBuster - got home and watched the first two...only to find the DVD manufacturer has built in a two-movie limitation circuit and you have to wait 24 hrs. to watch the third.
Or...
It may sound like a silly analogy, but put it in terms of a mag subscription. You pay for the mag but they only give you half of May's edition. You're forced to wait for the second half of the edition.
