Re: Presence's SHN server [The MAN Speaks]

"Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo killed 'oo.  This is supposed to be a
happy occasion."

Indeed, some people tend to become terribly upset when they do not receive
access to the main server.  For some reason, apparently it is a God Given
Right and I am denying them what is rightfully theirs.  Is this line on the
Information page not clear enough:  "Contributing users are those who supply
shows to the server.  You will be notified if added to the server."  See
that "if"?  Where does it say you will be notified either way?

That's right -- if you have no shows to supply to the server, you don't get
access.  It's that easy.  Enjoy the mirror server.  AT LEAST two full
Zeppelin shows rotate through it every week.  You don't pay a cent, you
don't upload anything -- it's all free.  And if you have taken the time to
learn Bit Torrent, you get even more shows.

The mirror server moves about 70 GIGabytes every single day.  What is that
per month, 2100 gigs?  And at uncapped bandwidth, too.  I have never
solicited money for this service, and routinely ignore requests to allow
access to the main server in exchange for money.  That's not what my project
is about.  Since I started the mirror service in February, I've paid roughly
$15,000 total and received $600 in donations.  You are welcome to cut me a
cheque for the other $14,400 if you wish.  Oh wait, that's what
dragonsofdarkness.com wants - send it to them.

And, oh yes, let's not forget my shady past.  I love how there's always
someone who wants to chime in with that.  It is true, I did some wicked
damage back in the day.  That was, what, five years ago?  People change,
even me.  I'm trying to do some good around here.  What do you have going
on?  Keep in mind that my "shady past" is responsible for the copies of
Earls Court and Seattle that you all now hold so dear.  Natch.
