We will now implement HappyHours for our Premium customers, so you can use our infrastructure in the best possible way. Currently, the HappyHours will be active from 2 a.m. until 10 a.m. Central European Time since that is the only time during which there is unused bandwidth left. During that time, only 10% of the data volume you download will be charged to your traffic balance. So if you download 300 Megabytes during HappyHours, only 30 Megabytes will be accounted. This applies also if you use RapidPoints or TrafficShare for your downloads.
The amount of unused traffic that can be accumulated has been raised from 12 Gigabytes to 15 Gigabytes.
Please note that this has to be regarded as a test, and we can reverse the modifications or change the time and percentage rate of the HappyHours at any time if neccessary.

This translates into 8pm-4am ET at this time. :Kool

This is actually really, really good. 2.5gbs of download traffic per day can go very fast. Just one of Deadzone's video posts can totally knock that out.

That said, premium members should have less limits, after all, some of us are actually paying for our accounts. That and, competitors like netload have no download limits. If one uses a download manager, like IDM or Jdownloader, it's possible to load it up with stuff you want and schedule it to download only during that time. That's what I do.

Although I don't see this lasting past mid-April, but we will see.
