How many resources can I download?
As a free user, you have a download limit per day, check here for more info https://pikbest.com/vip/. If you want
to extend this limit, you need to purchase one of our Premium subscriptions.
As a premium user, you have a limit of 100 downloads per day.
We want to allow our users to download a high number of resources. However, to avoid an
irresponsible use of our resources, we’ve established this limit.
Remember, if you download the same file more than once in the same day, it counts as one
download of the daily download limit. So for example, if you download the same resources 3
times, you still have 99 downloads left for the day.
However, if you download a file you already downloaded on a previous day, it will still
count towards your limit.
We feel that the number of downloads permitted are enough for most of our users but we
understand that there might be users who may need to download more resources for specific
purposes that still might be in accordance with our terms of use. If you think this applies
to you, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll
be happy to help.
