Web Hosts needed for ZC!

[Eckels]

Ok everyone listen up.

I've decided to shut down two of my sites, www.afterblur.com, and www.webbeddesigns.com, the most used download sites for Zelda Classic program downloads from zc.com. Some of you have noticed that they've not been working as they should have recently. I've cancelled the hosting contracts. So as of now, they're done.

www.theapparition.net is still working as a download mirror, but more sites are needed to keep the ZC files easily available, and so as not to destroy any one user's bandwidth.

Ganonator has volunteered the use of thedpshack, and that's a good start, but we need a few more servers to host the files.

If you have a website with plenty of bandwidth, and you'd like to host the program files, please PM me with FTP login information, as well as the website address.

I will handle the upload of the files, as well as updating them as needs be. The space will only be used to host ZC program files - quests are stored on AGN's server.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

[Zelda Master]

hmm.. i have my own forums that you can use.

If you register, i can make you an moderator.

[Eckels]

That's not at all what I'm talking about, Zelda Master.

I've pm'ed you with my info Eckels, I have 1000MB of transfer bandwith per month. I pretty sure that'll be enough for something like ZC.

[Ganonator]

todays stats:

4142M used
20978M free

In less than 24 hours, i used 950MB. Try again, Solaris.

[Master Ghaleon]

Its a fight to the finish :o

[Solaris_Omega]

Fine then, i'll revoke the ftp access... Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[Gerudo]

well, if you want an additional host, i'm sure GNET would be willing to help out, Ecks... i'll pm you with the appropriate information soon. :)

Don't listen to ganonator, he's being a fool.

We can use all the help we can get.

I'll be MORE then glad to host it, the server is just sitting there collecting dust, not hosting jack shit other then a small 3 meg song of my bands.

[Solaris_Omega]

Alright, well its open again then Eckels :D

[Verman]

How much space on a server do you need? How much bandwith?

I think my server has stupid amounts of bandwith...I'll check it out

[Gerudo]

asap, huh...

guess not...

[McCrackin]

I could really use some help from someone, I am experiencing excess load here... The past couple of months have been hard on me.

I am having to pay overages, and I'll shut it down if this continues, so support ZC like I do, and host the files (or donate money to me)!

[jman2050]

What the heck happened in July to warrant such a huge change? O_o

[Eckels]

Just added two more servers - I dont think AG was as much of a culprit as another site that linked to him...
[21:49] <Giz> http://superdownloads.ubbi.com.br/download/i3849.html Is linking to me, I am going to ban referrals from this site.

Anyways, we have four mirrors now. We could use more! Anyone else?

[Rainman]

I've got decent 1gb of webspace. I'll see what I can do.

[Sephiroth]

I have 25GBs transfer/3GBs space on my server. =p How does that sound?

[Gerudo]

snort, if you want to donate space, just pm eckels with the info. dont bargain with him.

and besides, i have the same exact transfer and space as you, and i already set everything up.

Click on my signature I have chatting and posting on my website so make me something.

You are quite possibly the stupidest member on AGN.

Oh and by the fucking way, I spent the other day deleting most of your comments from the QDB because of inappropriate language, or because they were simply spam. You are now banned from using the QDB comment system.

There's also a complaint thread about many of your recent posts in Forum Staff.

So fuck it. You're banned from AGN too. Take a week off. Please take your time coming back.

[lightning-z]

if you need a place to put files my site always welome files from agn

[Raichu86]

I basically have an extra 25 GB of bandwidth. Could we set me up near the end of the month (about 1 week left, perhaps) to see what kind of traffic hits me in that time, to determine if I can host it without PureZC getting taken out at the same time?

[Ares[K!]]

Anyone thought about setting up a Bittorrent tracker, I'd be happy to help seed v2.10 and which ever 1.9* version is used most.

[Valientlink]

Okay I have forums they are not finished at s13 yet so wait a while.

[Ares[K!]]

I just set up a tracker, if anyone wants to help seed. I've only got 40k/s
Torrent: http://68.10.25.115:6969/torrent.html?info_hash=40f27fabb9f454fe931feff211b 6d1e28cac0be1

These are the 3 files included in the torrent
zc210w.zip
zc210ws.zip
zc210s.zip

Anyway this was just a test to see if I got the tracker set up right. It's working. I'll play more with it Sunday if anyone is interested in keeping it going. (ie helping seed to keep everyones bandwidth costs down)

[ZeldaLord]

That link's working fine. Length has nothing to do with it, anyway.

[Ares[K!]]

Sorry for the late response, just got back from a friends birthday party.

Good to know the tracker is working(Thanks ZeldaLord). I had a friend on irc test it so I knew that.

I can host 2 files at 20kb/s (each) or just 2.10 at 40kb/s.

If someone wants to let me know which 1.9* is the most popular and link the files I can make a new torrent for that. (Eckels I'm looking to you for this one) PM or reply, whatever works.

Seeds will be needed, I try to keep my computer up 24/7, but I only have the 40kb/s to spare as my modem is shared over the network.

If the tracker winds of being down, its cause cox is down or the power here is out.

Once I know whats up, I'll prolly change the torrent to the 2.10 for dummies that's in the ZC forum, along with whatever 1.9* files I need.

I know I don't post here much, but I like to help when I can. Especially since Z1 is my fav game of all time.

[Zelda_Warrior]

Haha ValientLink, he's not talking about using a forum.

Oh and by the way, the torrent works.
