pilotdave 0 #1 May 1, 2003 Hopefully this is only temporary though. AndyMan has been doing a great job running the server from his work for about the last year, but sadly his boss has asked him to shut it down do to the huge amount of bandwidth it uses. If anyone may have the capability to host the server, for any length of time, please let me know. I don't know the exact bandwidth usage, but a year ago I was sending out an average of about 20 gigs per week. I'm assuming it's higher now. You'd need about 9 gigs of ftp-space.

prepheckt 0 #2 May 1, 2003 When will shut down happen, so we all can grab videos off of it?"Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #3 May 1, 2003 Yea, people need to grab as much as possible, then rename all the videos with the word "skydive" in the front. Then add them to all the "My Shared Folders" on Kazaa Lite. That way all we need to do in the future is search the word "Skydive" in Kazaa, and pick from the assortment that comes up!It's your life, live it!

I think he has free nights and weekends on his plan too :) Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #6 May 1, 2003 Don't kill the server now... Hopefully he can keep my account so i can get all files downloaded to put them on the new server. I have most of them already. Also, many files are copyrighted... they were posted to skydivingmovies.com with permission but not permission to post elsewhere. I doubt that would be a problem, but I dont want to piss off anyone that's uploaded their videos. Don't worry... the server will be back... sometime.

AndyMan 7 #8 May 1, 2003 One thing that is really peaking my interesting is a sharing tool called 'bittorrent'. What makes it different then all the other file sharing tools is that one person maintains an index of people that have downloaded the files, and have made them available. This index is in the form of a webpage. So, Dave - you could grab a cheap website, and just list off the files hosted. You would need to host the files yourself, but throttle the bandwidth. Each person that downloads it also makes it available, and your system tracks where its available. The next person who requests the file grabs half from you, half from the new guy. Rince, repeat. Distributed file-sharing with centralised index. Sounds better then Napster... This seems like the perfect application for it. http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #9 May 2, 2003 Sounds very interesting...might work well. Problem for me right now is that I cant currently run any servers due to a router here. The good news is that I'm moving far far away (finally getting out of the hell hole of a state they call Maryland) and will, in theory, be getting cable internet, so I should be able to run any servers I want. That doesn't happen till the end of May though. I'm sure I'll find a temporary solution before then. No files will be lost. The site will be back. Anyone know what 9 gigs of hosting and 25 gigs/week of bandwidth costs? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #11 May 2, 2003 I like to think of it as a colony for stupid people. I swear this state has the highest number of idiots and BAD drivers per capita. Ok, here's an example. You're at an intersection, turning left. The light is green in both directions, so you need to wait for a break in the oncoming traffic before you can make your turn. In Maryland, drivers stop at the stop line and don't cross it until they're definitely ready to make the turn. They won't enter the intersection until there's a break. When there's a lot of traffic, they need to wait for huge breaks before they can go. I blame the Maryland driving schools for this one... they're taught to do it like that. There's just so much other stupidity going on here I can't even describe it. All I know is I want out! Also, this is my 1000th post. Hmm...lessee...what am i now?

pilotdave 0 #12 May 2, 2003 Just finished grabbing the last of the files off the server. Final count: 11 gigs, 1500 files. Holy crap. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpoxon 0 #14 May 2, 2003 Sounds interesting. I run a few web-servers off my 512/256 ADSL line at home. No way it could handle the current bandwidth requirements of skydivingmovies.com but I'd be interested in sharing the load. Would have to invest in a new hard drive though :-S Andy/Dave, do either of you have a DVD burner to distribute the initial file store to hosts? How would it work with the single URL access? When's it going to go down? Can't say I'm surprised. I am surprised they put up with it for so long! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #15 May 2, 2003 If you were to do the Bittorent thing, I believe the way it works would require that everybody who "mirrors" loads that mirror by downloading the files from "master" bittorent website. I don't think you can pre-load the "mirrors". Sadly, I don't have a DVD burner. I've already turned off the server, but if you like I can turn it back on without anonymous access if you'd like to grab stuff. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

mccordia 74 #16 May 13, 2003 Why don't we just start overloading Kazaa with skydiving video's...just rename all the files to something like PilotDave_CumsuckingSluts#1.avi PilotDave_CumsuckingSluts#2.avi and so on... The whole worlds will download and share these files, and on dz.com we'll put a list of all the real filenames and content :) heheheJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Hopefully the new skydivingmovies.com server will be running this week. Then the upload task begins. Good thing I don't need to rename all the files... it would take me hours to get to PilotDave_CumsuckingSluts#1500.avi. . Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
