The problem I see is people joining for a 3 day trial (for example), download the whole site in a matter of hours, then cancel.

I'm about to start a site again, and this got me thinking about how to stop people like that without eliminating "trial memberships".

I think the answer is bandwidth throttling on a per user basis. That would enable us to offer a 56k (dial-up) speed trial membership, or a broadband full membership.

What do you guys think of that? Good or bad idea?
