The power of word of mouth.

So dmbontv.com crapped out again. Its bandwidth is all bye-bye.

Coincidentally they made he announement right as I was watching one of their Charlie Rose shows. Sigh.

yeah, that just happened to me. dont worry, in a week it will be back up
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

Same thing with my site. People download at least 5 gig a day. I usually go over my limit in less than a week and I have 25 gig a month transfer. I need to up mine to 50 gig. People don't realize it costs money & takes alot of time to get sites running. Anyway, I suspened all downloads until I up my limit. The worst thing is people just come, take & leave. Don't even say hi, thank you or give comments on the video. Sometimes it feels as if it is not worth it.

That's part of the job of being a 'webmaster.' If you're hitting your bandwidth limit I'd say you're doing a pretty good job.

One thing to keep in mind is to set up your server so people download the movies and large files and don't try to stream them because that will destroy bandwidth.

You are thinking about DMBvideos.com, which is hosting its last video next saturday.
