In 2009 downloading one 2 gig file can't be considering abusing a site and as a site owner if I lock someone out after they download 1 video I can't pretty much kiss them goodbye.
That's exactly what I said, so if you're replying to me I must not have made myself clear.
I said you should allow enough that they can jack off two or three times on their high
usage days and how many MBs that is depends entirely on what kind of content you have.
The other way of figuring that I suggested, and showed the graph, was to set it so that
most people wouldn't trigger the limits - only the people using twice what the next
highest users are would trigger it. Again in that section I said not to use the numbers
from our graph, but your own numbers which will vary depending on what kind of content
you have.

Also you said "if you lock someone out after one video ... ". Did you notice I specifically
said we track the NUMBER of videos and images as well as the MBs, because that
absolutely makes sense to make sure they can get a reasonable number of videos,
where reasonable depends on how long your videos are.
