I thought download counts are supposed to reset at midnight my time

It suits SF/DVDfab staff who changed it, for some reason, or it would not have been changed.

I wish that I had your optimism about what's going on behind the scenes, but It truly feels like there is zero communication going on between devs and no one in the drivers seat managing the project.

Probably made the change to fight people using cracks/activators for StreamFab. So we get the short end of the stick while the people using cracks get 1000 tokens per day per module.

I think i will have to investigate and start using cracks myself. I paid for the software and i can't get them to fix tiny but super annoying/inconvenient things and they refuse to add more tokens for Amazon when it's basically 10 modules in one for me because of the amount of channels i sub to.

Might as well get the same advantages as the freeloaders...

Personally, I don't see the need for limiting the number of tokens per day. SF claims the reason is to prevent the TV/Movie studios knowing that someone is downloading rather than watching the shows. That is so naively ridiculous that I can't even believe they made that myth up. Of course, the studios know that people are downloading. SF is on the hook for, I believe, 11 million dollar (I forget) because they were found guilty in an International Court of DMCA violations. Why do you think they change their DRM every 6 months? You don't believe that there are at least a dozen studio representatives here in the forum? I do. They are scouting out new ways to make the program look bad. Once a flaw appears, they are right on it, repeatedly saying how bad the program is and how bad the developer is. This is to discourage testing users from buying the product and to stop existing users from keep on using StreamFab.
On the other hand, I just don't see the need for 100 tokens a day. During an average day I might, might, download 2 shows. I have no need to have the entire Hollywood catalog dating back to 1920 on my HD/SSDs. The likelihood would be that 99.99% of the videos would remain unwatched by the time I die. Some real video fanatics might actually reach 95.99% by the time they kick the bucket. And you know what, 10 minutes before you pass away, take a look on the Internet, and you'll see all those stored away videos that you have and never got around to watching, still available for download. Two weeks ago, I tried to complete my collection of Little Rascals (Our Gang Comedies) shorts. I wound up, like the rest of the world, missing 7 shorts from the 1920s and are lost forever for various reasons including a fire. That is not likely to happen ever again. Almost every movie ever produced since perhaps the 1940s is stored away safely. The original film (along with copies) is underground in a salt mine, and there are probably 10 or more digital backups located at various digital storage sites around the world. If you want it, you can find it. Let them use their electricity, not yours.

I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but while you are listed as living in the state of Washington, USA, your official time zone found in your StreamFab forum account is GMT (the same as UTC) which encompasses Western Europe, Casablanca, Dakar, Dublin, Lisbon, London, etc.

That's not to say that your forum time zone is the same as your location settings as found in the StreamFab program itself. I'd have to see a copy of your StreamFab.log file.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had never set it when creating my account so "my" time zone must be at the default. I'll see if I can correct that.
