Sorry about the delay in responding to this, as with many threads it slipped under the radar.
As lions88 mentions, the upgrade page is very clear, Elite users get access to everything that is not Onyx level. Without restrictions means that once you purchase the Elite upgrade, your ability to download EVERYTHING we you have access to, ie everything that is not Onyx level is unrestricted. This is different to many places that restrict you to certain GB a day, certain links a day, etc. I understand that not a lot of sites do this, but there are many places that restrict even high paying customers to, for example 50GB of downloads daily, for content protection. We are confident in our anti scrubbing procedures, that we allow unfettered access from the moment you pay.

This is something that we have no control over. I constantly tell users who ask, please spend some time on the forum before you upgrade, so you can know about this. If someone blatantly asks me, if the Onyx upgrade is worth it, my response is always the same. Do not upgrade for a single piece of content, upgrade if you like the site and foresee yourself spending time here. Thats the only benefit of having the Onyx upgrade. I cannot tell you exact numbers, but I can assure you, almost 90% of the content is available to all members, even for no upgraded free members, although they have a much harder time gaining free access for obvious reasons. The Onyx Lounge is named Exclusive forum Releases for reason. Its for stuff either found here FIRST or harder to access stuff. I do not (as site administrator) dictate where users post their content. Yes the forum was created for exclusivity. Backup Onyx links are a perk we added for Onyx members, its literally the same content just duplicated for longevity.
I hope this clarifies.
