I've been doing this for a long time. Dating myself back to 2400
baud modem days where it took an hour and a half to fill a 3.5"
floppy disk. So what am I getting at?
I'm running my IRC server again for a while. Info about it can be
found at fictionmania.xeraweb.com
. It's not superfast, it can take a lot of waiting, but it has
always proven reliable. It is easy to resume files that do not
finish properly. It is also one of the easiest ways I can simply
share my 40+ gigabytes of video and stuff.
I've experimented with running a web server from my own machine.
I'd have to maintain links and stuff, and more importantly, I
simply don't have the bandwidth. For what I've got, it'd be like
trying to fit a large lake through a straw.
I've experimented with torrents. It wasn't a bad solution overall.
However, people are selfish and after a while, all the seeds
disappear. And I had to build torrent files, and maintain those,
and when my ip address hosting it all changed, then those metadata
files would have to be rebuilt. I considered that a semi-success
while it lasted.
I'm not going to deal with YouTube, Veoh, Google Video, or any of
those. Copyrighted stuff is frowned upon, and most of the time, the
good stuff is all copyrighted. As well as often times very large
which would require segmenting them.
FTP server would have the same bandwidth issues.
Web downloading: I've made a selection of files available on my
commercial web site. People pay for a temporary password and that
goes toward paying for that bandwidth but it's very fast.
Mailing copies of those same files are available through my web
site.
Email? No way. The files are too large, there would be too much
demand on my time.
Once in another thread someone asked why we don't share and if it
was so expensive. In all my years doing this, I've shared
terabytes. I don't know what everyone else has shared, and yet
people think of me as selfish. And is it expensive, yes when you
are talking the amount I have. Try to figure out how long it would
take to email a single 10mb file if that's the capacity of size of
an email, and multiply it by all those "me too" posts. I've
monitored the bandwidth when I've made something popular available
for convenient download and it's enough to be expensive.
To get back to my original point of this message, my IRC server is
up and running for people to access and download that which I
share. Constructive thoughts on this thread are always welcome. Be
civil and polite since flames will be ignored, and probably blocked
by the trusted users.

Man, I'll have to brush up on irc protocol and commands. Haven't
been using it for a while.
Thanks Timber. Might drop by to check out what new stuff you have
since 2-3 years ago.......

Scroll up. I provided a clickable link.
Back in my earlier pre-modem days, it was just a large network of
friends that traded disks. It helped to go to a school that was
very technology oriented in the late 80s.
Current IRC server status is up, 3 files sending, 4 files in queue,
and about 1.2gigabytes sent since last night.

For the IRC challenged, here's a link to the files I'm serving.
Perhaps it will give you incentive to learn how to download via
IRC. These are just filenames, so some items may not be intuitive
as to what it is, but most of the items are obvious. Again, to
download via IRC, you should scroll up to see the clickable link.

argentino, read the help pages at the link Timber provided. Its
really easy to figure out. Failing that, google or wikipedia IRC
help. There are numerous ways to figure IRC out without getting one
on one counseling.

I don't even use MSN. I haven't even used any instant messaging
programs for several months now. And as I've said countless times
before, I'm not here to teach anyone how to use stuff. There are
many places where it is documented. Asking me to teach something is
going to fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes as this is a message
board, heh heh).
My IRC server is running smoothly, sending out files with low wait
times currently, and plenty of open queue slots available.
I am currently building a new torrent metadata file that will be
all 42+ gigabytes of my file server. (Yeah, I'm trying to create a
megahuge torrent.) The link will be on my TG Torrents web site when
it is ready. Info on my web page. Link not provided due to
copyrighted stuff, and just because I don't want the link on here.

I might have a look see later tonight. You Rock Timber! It's the
old days all over again. well without the 56k modem :).

The big torrent is ready to go.
The IRC server is still sending out files with wait times
increasing as more people queue up files. 4 sends going on with 10
files in queue. There are also a few other IRC servers running on
the same channel each providing files. Nothing like a classical
method of sharing files.

Quick update.
IRC server currently offline though I'm idling in the channel. I'm
giving all the bandwidth I can spare to to seeding the big torrent
of my entire IRC server. Currently 5 people are working on
downloading the 42+ gigabytes of files I have to offer. The more
people who join in, the faster it will all go for everyone.
I'm seeding the clips Lady Sekhmet compiled again with limited
bandwidth. Anyone who has seeded it before is asked to seed again
if there is enough people trying to download this.

I think Im the farthest right now on the download and I am goin to
seed as much as possible but im only at 1.36 gb done right now

No worries. Estimated time for additional seed creations is still
10 days for full upload. With enough peers, everyone should
approach full downloads by then. That's assuming I maintain current
bandwidth and keep my computer on all the time, which I cannot
guarantee. So for everyone who ever wanted all the stuff I've got
to offer, jump on the torrent while you can. The sooner you start
your download the faster it will finish (hopefully).
