Guitartricks is free to you. It is NOT free to Jon. He has put up some advertising, which pays for a certain amount of bandwidth and storage capacity, but not much. Having sound quotas (which I believe is 5 sound files per person per day) keeps the total bandwidth used by the site low enough to be paid for by advertising. If you and others downloaded 20+ a day, you'd either have to give Jon some money, or he'd have to put more pop-ups - neither of which you would want. Jon's idea of a quota system keeps this free for us, and you should be glad.

I know the frustration, though. Sometimes I forget that I already download 5 today and I find a trick I really want to listen to, but can't. I just copy/paste the URL into notepad, save it on desktop as goheretomorrow.txt or something and get it the next day. No problem.

Did that clear up everything?
