This is a question based on the user agreement concerning bandwidth/excessive usage.
I'm planning to use the ftp on my site to share work related zipped psd files with colleagues in our UK offices. My worry is the "Excessive Resource User Policy". Everything should be well within my bandwidth limits, but if my colleagues went and downloaded new file uploads all at once, then I'm not in a position to say whether or not it would violate the "Excessive Resource User Policy".
The real question is this: If I do accidentally violate the "Excessive Resource User Policy", do I get a warning that I can heed, or do I get in big account terminating trouble styraight away....

b. Bandwidth Usage: PowWeb offers a generous 16 gigs of data transfer per month. An account that uses over 16 gigs per month will be charged $8 USD per gig each month. PowWeb reserves the right to impose the Excessive Resource User Policy for the consideration of all customers.
Excessive Resource User Policy: Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilization. A website is considered using "Excessive amounts of resources" when it monopolies the resources available using 10% or more of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. There are numerous problems that could cause such problems, this includes: cgi scripts, FTP, HTTP, etc. A site that consumes over 1GB/day or 25GB/month of bandwidth is also considered "excessive resources". This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. We reserve the rights to suspend or terminate any hosting account that we feel is jeopardizing our network. PowWeb will be the sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this policy.
