    Is it? It’s a simple text file, the download costs them close to nothing. 20 subtitles per day is laughable, especially because other people make the subtitles.

      Bandwidth and hosting still cost money, period. And why would 20 be laughable? What would be okay by your book? 50? 100? 1000? 20 per day is fine for most users, how much content are you downloading every single day that it wouldn’t be?
