    Each uploader user account has it's own 24h transference quota.

    He probably downloaded a lot of times or he secretly re-shared the link and it got heavy traffic.

    I've had this same issue as well. Quite a while ago, someone on this forum sent me a Google Drive link to a couple movies in DM and I got the "download quota exceeded" error when I tried to download them. The link was private, yet somehow the quota was exceeded as if a ton of people downloaded it. I have a feeling that bots are cheating the Google Drive system. If anything, Google should've implemented reCAPTCHA to Google Drive instead of blocking downloads that exceed the quota. I mean, they ARE the ones who invented reCAPTCHA, so why aren't they using it for that purpose? :shocked:
