Beyond emule, I was wondering how people spread their file around (particularly addressed at any release group members here). I've just sorted out my ftp (upgraded the software, setup some accounts, etc.) but there has to be a better way these days surely?

I only spread them on eMule, since this month im starting on Bit Torrent and in portuguese newsgroups, unfortunally i dont know any FTP to view or to upload.

i've got an FTP server also that i've recently set up to get a few full sources for any future releases of mine or a certain release group that i help but the mule has to take a back seat when thats on as bandwidth is very limited in da UK as you well know

Even more so as of January Bassline, have you changed ISP's yet?

nope but BT haven't stated what the rates will be per extra gig d/l yet have they? so i'm wondering if they may not do the deadly gig limitation....in all reality if they do enforce d/l limits per month then i'll be amazed if they have any customers left

two ISP's i've got in mind are either bulldog or eclipse....we'll see eh

Speaking of which, they've been seriously told off about their monopoly by ofcom this week. Who have demanded fairer access to the network for other companies. Bulldogdsl are pretty much the major one, there's lots of companies at BTs ankles to uncap their network, and with this ofcom decision, they have to do something about it.

aren't they seriously told off every week by ofcom? .....amazing that a company that has such a monopoly still has some serious financial problems and can actually still run as a company.....too many fat cats lining there pockets me tinks

Ditto Bulldog, possibly Nildram. My only niggle with Bulldog is that e-mail is extra (and of course that only Cockneys get the best bandwidth).

how so...extra accounts cost or the primary acct is charged for usage?.

?2.99 per month for e-mail, spam filtering etc. Although if BT do enforce the cap I probably will go for Bulldog.

I could tell you peasants how we do it, but then I would have to kill you all.

We gotta sweet system going. In the voice of Rolf Harris "Can you guess what it is yet?"

ermm....private torrent?....IRC?



and regards to bulldog...thats 30squid a month for a 1mb line (they not do a basic512 one now?) and then 3squid for an email account.....all unlimited connection and no gig limits.....bargain if you ask me not sure what my BT is atm...think it's 27squid a month on basic 512 broadband and email inc.......might move to bulldog sooner at those rates

Oh yeah you're right

now who here is using bulldog?...spud and paul scream where weren't they?...come on i need some sales pitch from you lot to reassure me to join bulldog and how much of a pain in the ass is it to migrate and what kinda timelines are we talking?......can't be migrating when i've got a release scheduled

I should have read that website before posting the link. I thought Bulldog were ?40 for 1Mb, ?30 for 512k, but what about this

thats not avilable to me i can only get the 1mb or 2mb packages where i live....but 1mb will do me

Oops, same here. I didn't realise "AllTime outside central London" was a hyperlink, thought it was a description of this package. But as you say 1mb will do fine.

do you actually read the sites you post or do you just get dazzled by the offers

I think you can guess

That's odd, I get 2mbit for ?37.99
