Drift Competition Videos [Important]

lifestream · Jun 21, 2003

Really soon, all of the Drift Competition Videos will be unavailable for download for a while. I'm really sorry about this. I pay $10 a month for my webspace, and they only give me 15 Gigs of transfer per month and this straight from the reports on phpmyadmin:

Bandwidth Monitor (for cycle beginning Sun Jun 01 2003)
Used / Threshold: 14762 MB / 15000 MB (15479715972 bytes / 15728640000 bytes)
Cycle Start: Day 1 of month

So until July first, there will be no drift videos available from lifestream.racknine.net/ That small amount of transfer will probably be taken up before the day is over. Really sorry about this folks. >_<

So what will this mean for this week's competition? Delayed another week? I just finished my entry this morning, I was wondering where to submit it. You guys will either hate it or get a kick out of it. It's a little different.

ethikz · Jun 22, 2003

we need to find another person who has the ability to host our videos

cudaman, cant wait to see it!

hey didnt night_drifter say he can uplaod comse videos on GTP? you guys should talk to him.

ethikz · Jun 22, 2003

anyone can, you just have to go to the GT3 Videos page and click contact blagh blagh and email them saying you have a video

bustwave. · Jun 22, 2003

but how about your video doesn't fit in your e-mail to them?

Night_Drifter · Jun 23, 2003

huh, you dont email them, they tell you go to go the gtplanet site page and upload it from there you know, but ask them first, i know what is it already but asking permission is a good idea, so go!!!!

I don't think Jordan wants to give everyone access to the FTP, so probably I can ask him when he gets online.

CudaMan, you can send your entries to either LanEvo or I. Sorry for all of the usage lifestream

Thio · Jun 23, 2003

About two days left.

JiF · Jun 23, 2003

Well at least you fully got your moneys worth this month

but yes we need to find another kind person with a similar setup as a backup or even just to share the load.Ideas anyone :confused:

JiF · Jun 23, 2003

You Rule Lifestream

gt2_drifter · Jun 24, 2003

i got 700mb of space on yhoo but i have no idea how to use it

Thio · Jun 24, 2003

o.0

I would like to know how you got it

And thank you lifestream, we owe you somehow

lifestream · Jun 24, 2003

the secret to getting more bandwidth is.... more $$ ^^. Thats how i got it

Thio · Jun 24, 2003

Well, it seems like those entries should be worth downloading lol

j/k

I just hope that soon GTP will be able to host the competitions on their server.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm not quite sure what GTP's web provider is but, in 21 days you guys took all 15 gigs worth of my bandwidth. And right now in this economy especially in the US, bandwidth is really expensive ( we should just all move to sweden >< ). 15 gigs of bandwidth cost me 9 a month, i just upgraded to 25 gigs of bandwidth for 14 a month. Considering GTP is really popular as it is, if I got 15 gigs of bandwidth consumed in 21 days, just think how much GTP would have consumed in that same amount of time considering they have bandwidth ebing used by forums, images, etc. Just seems unlikely to me but I don't really know much about GTP's web server etc..
