Download speed cap increase for Supporters and non-Adblockers

[Balx2]

I get why you need to do this but f*#@ turning adblock off on this site. The three times I was dumb enough to do that I managed to get a virus. I know you guys claim you fight back against shitty ad providers but yeah. Instead I bought a supporter pack. If anyone ever asks me if they should disable adblock or just buy lifetime membership I'll respond "do you prefer aids or cotton candy?"

Hey. you want to stop us from using adblockers on the site? then how about remove the malware ridden ads from your site. If you cant, then Im keeping mine on. Deal with it.

It's pathetic. People who can pay get the benefit but people who put actual content into the site don't? what a joke.

Technically you can sandbox the web browser that way malwares are contained and would not harm your computer.

Bad ads are not the mistake of site owners, they are the mistake of ad networks, in nexus you can report bad ads you see in the forum and the site owners ask the ad network to remove them.
So they are not willingly using malicious ads, but there is not much they can do about it other than what they do, today malicious ads are very hard to detect from their end, because those ads are very ofuscated and hard to detect, and nexus is not google or some big company to have their own ad network and a very powerful algorithm to detect malicious ads.

Nice try. Not going to 'support' that attitude.

Its 2 dollars - what the hell is wrong with you? I wipe my behind with more than that.

It adds up, Nexus has over 10 million members. Even if only 10% of them buy premium that makes the Nexus owners millionaires.

Except for the fact that practically all of that money would go to keeping the site online. Running a server with over 10 million members and hundreds of millions of downloads costs a hell of a lot of money.

Am I doing something wrong? Apologies if the raised cap is not yet in place.
I use Mod Organizer 2. MO2 does not place its own cap on downloads - I checked that on their Discord pages.
Please can this cap be checked?
Thank you, I doff my cap to you!

10%? Hah, it's nowhere near that high! Edited October 16, 2018 by Dark0ne

You don't get it, your downlaods are as fast as they always where, is just that if you buy the supporter thing or don't use adblock you now get extra speed.
Is a way to recompense to the ones that help support the site, whitout affecting the ones that can't or don't want.
