videos down temporarely

Extremecarving.com success causes bandwith problems !

Because of the high load on our server due mostly to the download of the two movies Extremedreamer and Extremecarving, which reaches 4-5 GB per day, we are suspending the links to them until we find a solution..

We are still looking for an european or US based webhost that would allow us to go higher than 40 GB per month at a reasonable price, but are still searching !

If any of you have solutions, please post it here !! ( mirrors etc..)

In the future, we would be glad if everyone saved the movie by right clicking on the link, it will save us bandwidth for the newcomers !!

All tutorial and small clips stay online !

zip or stuffit files

Hosting the videos in zip (pc) or stuffit (mac) files would encourage people to make local copies instead of just streaming the video any time they want to see it.

server and videos problems

Post by nils » Wednesday 22 January 2003, 10:56

Indeed,

this is the reason why I just bought a server that will host those files at home for people to download. It just arrived and i need some spare time to configure the beast and make it safe...Gonna be a bit slower than what we have here, but those huge files will not be costly anymore :)...

It will be able to host EC guests clips too....
