Gonna release this one publicly via HTTP and see if the server can handle it and what kinda speeds people get (will it bog down and turn into RacingFlix or is the pipe nice and large?).

[Viper007Bond]

Released!

Please post what speeds you are able to download the file at if you don't max out your connection. I wanna know how fast the server is with a lotta people on it.

im stayin right around 35k still better than i did with BT most of the time..

[haha604]

I am still early I guess.
I am downloading at 360kb/s .

I click on the web link for HTTP download and
all I get is an image saying that I should 'left' click
on the link???

Is this available anymore? I only received the email 10
minutes ago! (

[Viper007Bond]

What it does is looks to see if you came to that link from the site as opposed to coming to it from offsite. What browser are you using? It may not be sending the referral info correctly.

[rfrost]

Viper,

I suggest you remind users who have security software to
disable hiding the 'referrer' in their browsers prior to
downloading your files via your web links.

Most people with security software - eg Nortons would have
the same problem I had.

Relying on referrer is probably not a good idea - how about
asking for a user/password or something prior to download
to stop most bots?

[Viper007Bond]

It's not about bots, I just wanna other webmasters linking to files here and claiming credit for them or whatever.

I'll add a little note. I wasn't aware about those kinda software.

All I see after I click the HTTP Download link is:

http://127.0.0.1:3001/clear.cgi?
and the window is blank

What's wrong?


Thanks

That's something on your end...
