Bandwidth & lack thereof

At this point you have two options-
* To avoid any unwanted charges to your account, you may remove the most
heavily-visited files on your account until the current billing cycle is
complete.
* You can pay for the additional bandwidth.
I need money to post the boots folks. We’ve been getting too popular. Unless you chip in, the Friday Boot is out the door… Suggestions?

    We could have a bake sale. Seriously, can you put a button for donations on the site? Like the Red Cross did during 9/11 on Amazon.com and other sites. And explain that you will have to remove the boots if no one donates? Sigh…this is the problem with success, Barry. It just raises a whole new level of questions.

  2. The usenet posting works pretty well for Zappateers? How about posting the show in one of the binary groups? Have a little “how to” page setup for new people to get connected? Not a perfect solution (not everyone gets all the groups), but I just thought it was worth mentioning…

    Hmmm I don’t like the binary group deal so much. Putting up a button asking visitors to pay up is, well something I want to avoid at all time, plus I don’t think many people actually would. I was thinking more along the lines of posting partial boots, and post them only for one day or something…

    Set up an ftp server on your own pc. Plenty of software to do this for free. Your ISP might cap your bandwidth, but the tunes could still get out.

    Yes, Barry… Maybe a couple songs every 2 days or something like that… What a shame…! Will Gilles get his site back up?
