I’d like to extend a minor congratulations to client-201.240.124.34.speedy.net.pe for managing to download EVO2003_trailer.wmv 70,000 times.
I love Star Wars and may have seen that twenty times, but I stand in awe of the dedication required to watch something seventy thousand times.
Or this could just be another sign that FlashGet is a malicious and broken piece of shit. 
Prep your sarcasm is so f-ing gdlk, ugh! 
I’m trying to download
and for some reason it’s saying that the file can’t be read, is it a server error Preps?
Preppy, I’m sure you’ve already looked into this, but I’m just kind of curious. Where do these 70,000 copies of a single video go? If he were downloading them into some sort of temporary cache, is FlashGet “smart” enough to delete the file each time after downloading it? Does the user’s hard drive just fill up? Is it possible FlashGet is just starting to download the file 70,000 times, but not actually going through with the download?
Like I said, I’m sure you’ve already checked this all out (and I’m sure any bandwidth monitors would show it very easily), but it just seems like the average user wouldn’t have nearly enough hard drive space to download that file that many times.
That should work now. I was installing a new server module and so the server was bobbing up and down like a cheerleader on a trampoline. It’s up now.
No, it’s a measure of actual bytes sent.
What FlashGet is probably doing is just downloading the file in pieces 70,000 times and never realizing it’s finished the job. So it looks to the user that the file was only downloaded once since the completion event never fires.
It’s pretty pathetic, but again: this is not good software. This is malicious software that deliberately cloaks itself so that it can more effectively fuck servers. FlashGet is malware.
This is very related to the web server module I just installed, but I don’t like that module so far so I turned it off. I’ll see if I can make it better or something. =\
Thanks Preppy!:tup:
WTF! is this “all im doing is right click save as”

The bwshare module will refuse your requests for the next 41252 seconds.
You have downloaded data too rapidly.
When did you get that message? The mod_bwshare I installed (the noon experiment) was generally disabled as of 12:30 or so. I have now fully removed all references to it since I don’t like the implementation as I currently understand it. So you could/should have gotten this from 12 to 12:30 PST, not likely after that, and as of 3:25PM PST it should be impossible to get this.
I was going to attempt to allow a max of 10GB per day per IP (seems reasonable), but couldn’t figure out how to get that with mod_bwshare so - turned it off.
Downloading is failing for me too, but I’ll be patient and wait until tomorrow to download those Josh360/ VDO matches. :sad:
I got this error 6PM standard eastern time Prepsrer!
Everything should be working now, as of that 6:25PM EST. Lemme know if that’s not the case.
I popped onto AIM to check directly to make sure you were OK, but y’all weren’t offline so I couldn’t check.
Yeah it’s working now. Thanks.
Um, in case it comes as a surprise to anyone:
If this breaks your heart, remember that Baby Jesus loves you.
Evidently I broke some thug’s heart today because I wouldn’t IM him the GF. :wtf:
I would like to thank AOL for implementing “Block (l)user” functionality im AIM. FTW!
protip: I have been known to pass along a match or two to friends that I trust via IM. I have not been known to do anything nice for people that are dicks.*
Preppy banned me =(
^-- please stop sending me noodz and then maybe we can talk about unbanning you.
keep ruin banned imo
OMGSupremeFenom!
Let’s play some PLO.

So Fugee has confirmed that there will be a DVD? If so, is there any info on the release date?
Good shit.
