Default To the person who was trying to download 5 videos at once

DONT!

Thanks to you the community was down for at least a half an hour. All of your downloads are probably corrupt or incomplete aswell so you didnt gain anything from your impatence.

So that's what it was! I was wondering why the site was down. Good to see it has been solved and I hope no one will try that ever again.

I hope ppl able to download videos will read this and understand hammering the site doesn't help that much...

Yeah, I noticed the site was down as well. And now the videos are gone, too. It says "File no longer exists".

Sure there is, but I can also undestand that he didn't realise he could kill the site...

I'd like to apologize, I dno't think I've downloaded 5 at once, but I know I've done more than one at a time. In the future, I'll wait for one to finish before starting the next.
