Unlimited in other terms via transfer means (unmetered)
which you never care about the bandwidth.
ROTFLMAO

If you compromise the server's ability to serve by using up insane amounts of transfer, you'll probably get kicked off because of some rule that you were not aware of unless you read the FAQ/TOS.

Someone else had asked this before (maybe not on this forum, but on some forum at least). Yes, viewing a page on a server is the same thing. How they distinguish 'downloads' is beyond me. This is why I'd go with a host that offers set amounts, and allows you to use those amounts any way you want. Of course, the files must be legal, etc., but you know what I mean.

An example of this is http://www.futurequest.com - though there are others, just none that state it so well on their pages (that I can think of off hand). Maybe you should post a thread asking about hosts such as these.

Now, how many times do people need to get screwed to learn that there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.
