How much bandwidth do you think $5 buys?

For amazon cloudfront at the most expensive tier it buys close to 42 GB but then there would be no profit in sending the file 34 times (someone said it was a 1.2 GB file).

It makes sense to me why he is only allowing a few downloads otherwise a few extreme users could take up all his money just by streaming.

I confirm that it is a ~1.2GB file (the file is precisely 1,199,666,893 bytes)

I think it's on AWS. So whatever that buys you on Amazon.

The 2 download limit made me worry about disconnecting or restarting the download. I also can't make my download manager open more than one connection, in case that locks me out of the content I just bought. I think it should be higher, but I understand that he can't give away too much bandwidth without cutting into his profits.

You really don't need to worry too much about disconnects.

I disconnected twice while downloading and emailed the customer support address and they just replenished my downloads.
