It says I have reached my daily download limit, but I haven't downloaded anything today. Why? Your download limit is actually based on a 24hour clock, and not calendar days. So let's say your limit is 25 photos a day, and you download 25 photos at 5:00pm today. Your limit would not open up until 5:00pm tomorrow.
