I use ProxyPass from Proxigence for all my paysites and have for years now. It really does help with cutting down on Members mass-downloading and sharing (tho it does upset some Members who use proxies as they get blocked after a few attempts). Well worth it tho!

We also tracked what they were clicking on throughout these phases and we found that it was a very small segment that was actually downloading anything. It was just the illusion that they couldn't "own" the videos they paid for also the review sites were negatively impacting opinion.

Bit of an update since this thread is an older one: Members can now both download and/or stream the exclusive content from each paysite in the Network. But for the "Bonus" content - the daily updated and rotated non-exclusive 'generic' clips only used for Members Areas and not promotion - it's stream-only.
We have monthly and yearly Members and it's always the non-recurring one-time Members who try and download the most. We throttle them like crazy tho. LOL
