Read that, it should answer any questions. If not, PM them to me (or ask here) and I'll post the Q/A there.

Oh by the way, if you saw my bandwidth bill you would understand why actually NEED the sponsor (I use about 15GB a day banwidth).

You, my friend need a better ISP, I blow through 15GB in about a week and I am not a software dev or anything like that. I just like to download stuff, like big games. Still only costs me about $40 (9 mbps too) and my ISP hasn't complained yet.

A sponsor is a good way to go if your spending a lot of time on the program, although you should try and think of ways to make it clear to your users that the program comes with an optional sponsor and give instructions on how to remove it and such. You should also take some notes from Patchou. He's run into trouble with his sponsor program because people can't figure out how to uninstall it, so he created a page and now complaints have died down.
