*"The User shall be regularly permitted to retrieve up to ten analysis

*"Reasonable Use"). Upon exceeding this limit, any further retrieval

This rule is obviously evil, but not new.

If the download limit is 10 per day then either there is an
incompatibilty with Firefox, or a bug in the way the download count is
implemented.

I selected a flight log, then selected IGC (download), *saved that
file, then attempted to use browser "back" function to go back the 2
pages required to select another flght log for the day. * "Back" kept
returning me to the download management window where I repeatedly hit
cancel/back before I gave up and started a new session with OLC.

It seems that all the attempts to get past the download management
screen were counted as downloads even though I downloaded nothing.

(by download management screen I mean the window that offers the
choice of opening or saving the file)

So how do I select another flight after having downloaded an IGC file?

That's pretty much the method I use and I have downloaded plenty and
never hit a limit. I've used both Firefox and Google Chrome.

Maybe you need to upgrade your operating system and browser (still
using Windows 95 and Netscape?)
