turbo-gateway.com applies download rate limits so free access stays available for normal browsing, streaming, and file downloads. This page covers the free allowance, what happens when you hit the limit, and how to continue with a paid upgrade.

What are the free download limits?

Every visitor gets a free allowance of 5 GB. That allowance refills at about 2 GB per hour.

In practice, browsing, streaming, and downloading normally will not hit this limit. A 1 GB file is fine, and you can download several of that size back-to-back.

What happens if I use up my allowance?

Downloads do not slow down or throttle. When the allowance is exhausted, downloads stop, and you will see a payment prompt.

How can I increase my download allowance?

You can continue by paying with USDC on Base.

• About $0.11 per 1 GB
• Capped at $1, no matter how large the file

Paying also raises your allowance to 50 GB and removes per-file limits entirely.
