You got me on this one, especially with terabyte drives so cheap these days. Even back in my Dos days with whopping 40Meg drives, if I had 10Meg free, I would not try to dl 20, just saying.
I guessing neither of you guys ever took one serving too many at a smorgasbord or had to "make room" for dessert. Even Joey Chestnut runs out of room once in a while. Some of us get what we can while it's available, because tomorrow it may not be there. I have 1 TB queued up, but only have that space available right now.
While hard drives may be cheap, they aren't fast enough to download, unpack and move data at the same time. I had to switch to an SSD to be able to copy faster than I was downloading. SSD's aren't cheap. Not until I could afford a 1 TB one did I stop running out of space in a session. I had the same trials and tribulations as qelijahq. At least in V5 you had enough time to click pause before the message popped up again.
Just because you don't use Newsbin the way others do, doesn't mean you should pass judgement on them. If you had problems with something I didn't, say the remote control, I would say I don't understand why you even need remote control because with a 1 Gbps connection, you should never have the need to download remotely. So, you should have a 1 Gbps connection, it's only a few bucks a month more, then you'd able to download everything while sitting at the computer. I don't need remote control, but maybe you do, so I don't I won't make a summary judgment about how you use Newsbin.
