The "Trash" ep that made it to Kazaa is now available for download from my server.

RULES FOR DOWNLOADING PLEASE READ!!!
------------------------------------

6 users max / 1 login per IP address allowed

17Kb/sec max upload per user

idle time-out 5 min (sit idle on the connection this long and you'll get auto booted)

session time-out 12 hours (if you've been connected to the server this long you'll get auto booted, even if you're actively xferring data)

PASV xfers and RESUME are supported

DO NOT HAMMER THE SERVER!! You know the server is going to be very busy...be patient! The server will auto ban you for 24 hours if you attempt to connect more than once every minute. Check the settings in your FTP client to make sure it will comply with this requirement!!

You can either click this link:

ftp://shiny:serenity@ftp.hitechgadgets.net

to download it using a browser (not recommended), or use an ftp client:

ftp.hitechgadgets.net port 21
username: shiny
password: serenity

Enjoy!!

PS It's quite possible some **ahem** higher quality versions of the missing eps are going to show up soon ;-)

well that didn't take long...

already the server has auto banned two people:

one with an ip address ending in 177.241
one with an ip address ending in 16.207

and i'll bet it's because their ftp clients tried to open up 2 connections to the server at the same time, then kept on trying over and over after the 2nd connection was denied until they got banned.

READ MY CLEARLY STATED RULES, AND LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR SOFTWARE!!

Hi

I don't understand computers at all so could you make this a little "incomputent" friendly.

Let's start with: What's an ftp client? How do I get one? What do i do?

Little help

Whee, let's see if the Poptart/Satyrgirl can help.

An FTP client is a "File Transfer Protocol" program. (Is that not correct? I believe so...) You can download them at downloads.com. I suggest using a trial version of GlobalScape's CuteFTP. It's the easiest.

And FTP directly connects your computer to someone elses using the information given by Trs80. CuteFTP will be very helpful in showing you where to plug this info in.

If you have a firewall (and you very well might), you need to go to 'edit' 'settings' 'connection' 'firewall' and then click the little box next to 'PASV'. This will keep your connection from screwing up.

You should then go to 'connection' and set 'retry delay' to at least 90 seconds. You'd get booted for hammering from the server, otherwise. Hammering is when you try to connect too many times in a row too often when you're not allowed on a server.

Once this is all done, you can go back to the connection manager window and click 'connect' on TRS80's server. You'll have three windows to look at.

On your left is your computer's folders. Open the one where you want to download to. On your right is TRS80's stuff. Double click the file. It will begin transfer.

This good?

Thanks alot,

I've got it now and am trying to download...

I've set it to wait 90 seconds between retries but now need to know if someone knows how I can find out what MY IP address is. I want to know if I managed to accidentally ban myself while stumbling my clumsy ass feet around.

So much drama

It should tell you in the little message that TRS80's server gives you whether you're banned or not. Something like "You've been banned!"

Unless you hammered for a while, I doubt it banned you. If you can't connect, odds are good too many peeps are already on. CuteFTP sets the standard retry at 60 seconds, so you didn't really hammer at all if you tried connecting before setting your retry to 90. I've just found 90 to be more acceptable all over the board, which is why I told you to put it at 90.

It'll keep you safe if you decide to foray deeper into FTP territory. :]

But, about the IP, just do a search on the internet for "what's my ip address?" and it should give you a site that'll tell you. There are TONS of those. Try Google.

SATYRGIRL...you're my hero.

Maybe I'm overstating a little bit but my thanks none the less.

I haven't been banned so we'll just see.

I grow more excited every second.
