PGN files are tiny, even 100,000 chess games are smaller in size & quicker to download that a 2-hour movie & it's not like people are going to be constantly downloading their full library. I can understand disabling this feature for non-paying members but paying members should be able to download their games. It's not very honorable of chess.com to remove this option without even mentioning it or warning premeium members that this feature will no longer be available after X-date.
It'd be nice to get a response from staff on this thread.
My guess is that it isn't a bandwidth issue, but a massive database hit and processor power to generate the PGN.
But yes, a response would be nice.
