Hi Troops, You may have noticed that the server disappeared a few days ago. Fear not. It's still around. It runs on my home computer, which has had the same static IP address for years. Well, I woke up the other day with a new address, and no way to restore the old one. Here's where you can find it now; ftp://65.25.162.32/quake2/ Stats; The server currently holds 3669 files in 121 directories. Total storage is 3.84 Gigabytes. It's up about 80% of the time. When I download a big torrent, the server gets crowded out. If you can't connect, just check back in a few hours. When I see hundreds of megs going out, I check the IP just for fun to see where the person is. My expectation was that most of the hard core file collectors would be in the U.S. Not true. The Brits take the lion's share, followed by Germany and Australia. One thing that I can't see is the upload KB/sec so really don't know how good the service is. If you have broadband, please follow this posting and let me know how fast you are able to download. That's it for now. Get out there and frag some Stroggs for the home team. Best, Tom (Kazoo) Best, Tom My email is tom at clocktech dot com. The addresses below are those of spammers. You can ignore them. They will get what they deserve. mail@gaec.com travel@compassagencies.com

I downloaded a couple of files and according to my performance meter I was getting around 48Kbyte/sec which is around 384 Kbit/s - normal cable upload speed? -- pop is Mark Doing nothing makes me tired 'cause I can't take a break. -- "Tom Chaudoir" <news@clocktech.com> wrote in message news:kpsfd1dc7ukc9kqktg69930i4bpouu6ama@4ax.com... > Hi Troops, > > You may have noticed that the server disappeared a few days ago.

Thanks for the feedback folks. 45-48 K isn't blazing, but it doesn't suck too hard. I guess I shouldn't expect the same bandwidth for uploads that I get for downloads. The job is getting done, and not costing anyone, (including me), a dime. Cool enough. Best, Tom
