I don't know whats going on. There are 2 servers which are both down for different reasons. The main server was going to be rebooted about a week ago but I don't know if that was ever done. The other server was running a couple days ago but went down at some point. Leroy went away so it won't get restarted for a while.

Wish it could be faster and more reliable, but that's tough when it also has to be free. I'd go back to running it from my own PC like it started, but my cable company wouldn't appreciate me sending out over 20 gigs per week (I tried it for a while... they slowed my connection to a crawl until i begged them to turn it back up).

Maybe it's time to think about a change. Anyone own a web hosting provider?

Yes. I do. And I've offered to help out before, but there didn't seem to be interest at the time.

Are you willing to donate the 20-30 gig a week bandwidth that the site uses for free?

I'm not in business to give it away, but sometimes there are good reasons to donate or discount services.

I could probably get away with serving 10-20 GB transfer per week. Is that max or average ? Dave, fill me in on the details... # of users allowed at one time, max speed, etc.. PM me if interested. Currently I have no cap, but there might be one someday. I forgot I left DC++ running since yesterday and I used up 10.5GB in one day... LOL

Maybe I could be a/the third mirror site ? I probaly already got about 1/4 of the movies on there. How big is the collection ?

yeah i dunno. At least i downloaded tons of videos before it went under

haha maybe i'm the problem

I hosted it for a while, and what I found was that the bandwidth required will grow to whatever maximum you establish, and then it will bog down. The nature of it is that it will just keep growing.

Myself, I'm convinced the only model that'll work is a p2p one, where the load and bandwidth is distributed.

ahh yes that would be a good substutute. torrent files, then as u said all the stuff is distributed among all the video holders, all the site would require is to store the torrents, but would they use suprnova as the host or do it on their own still?

Imagine that... I just replied to PilotDave about using BT. I would be willing to host a server, but only if we can get a few others to do the same. BT is new to me, but the concept sounds simple enough.

Btw, I forgot to ask Dave this - but how big is the entire collection ?

Somewhere in the area of 11 gigs last time I counted. Probably a little more than that now.

wow.... you really do need to use bittorrent to do it

[pilotdave 0]

Well... it's one possibility I'm looking into. Professional hosting is another, much more desirable option.

This is getting pretty far off topic for this forum, but anyone have any experience setting up servers through a linksys router? I've been unable to get anything to work. I'd play with bittorrent if i could figure this out. Port forwarding just seems to have no effect.

I can host the collection on one of my servers. How much was the normal bandwidth usage? I can handle 20 or so mbps on my network without too much difficultly.

Let me know where I can get a copy of the collection and I'll put up a mirror.

On a Linksys you can pick one internal machine to be the DMZ machine. The DMZ machine gets all inbound traffic directed to it, basically putting it directly on the 'net. You'll want to protect the DMZ machine.
