Hosting of mixes/PAs

[Buttman]

My untermensch server provider has stopped me from sharing mp3 files on my server...

So what I wonder is if anyone wants to host some mixes/PAs of mine.. I got a handful of them that yet not reached the public mass.
Let me know.

how much traffic do you think this will gain?

[gumpy green]

zip them.

That's not gonna help man... mp3s are already compressed.

... but maybe a .zip-file is accepted by the untermensch-server-dudes ;)

Yeah.. I thought he ran outta space haha

I need to read more carefully :study:

i can do it, drop me a line. but yeah zipping them may solve the problem. also stops ppl from streaming them.

yup. ;)

and yes would stop streaming to, saving yer bandwidth.

Well zipping is not an option, they will unzip it and see what is there. The problem is some kind of copyright bullshit they are trying to pull which is complete nonsense since I ofcourse have the copyrights of my own material. :rambo:

Regarding traffic.. I am afraid it could be quite high. Once I had a 90mb mp3 downloaded 26.000 times in 2 months. But I suppose on average 2.000 times a month. :roll:

why not switch your servers.
your going to have to take all your stuff off and upload it elsewhere anyway.

try these if your intersested. Im thinking of moving my site ther as im almost reaching my 150gb bandwith limit on my host just now. with these folks you get a great deal.

Well I have three different providers and they all keep ing up about the same things. I guess they are ed because the traffic is too high (even though it is not up to their set limit).

try ACE-HOST.NET ... I have an account there, 2000 mb space, 80 gb traffic a month... going great, not too expensive.

there you go...

wouldn't there be a way to protect liveacts under a creative commons license? then you can, as they say "Upload and host your music for free at the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/audio/) via ccPublisher (http://creativecommons.org/tools/ccpublisher)"

now it's just an idea - i'm not good with juggling these copyright issues, but in the Live Music Archive (http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?mode=mp3) for instance i have come across recordings of live performances from bands like GSYBE! and Explosions in the Sky to name but a few. many netlabels also use CC licensing (and free hosting) as well.

ok now i'll just shut it and wait for the number 22 to pop up :shock:

temp: wow nice one, will look into it!!
