Dream17 moved to new server... again!

squirminator2k · 09 July 2007, 04:30

We have finally escaped the evil clutches of Heart Internet and their woeful "unlimited" bandwidth, so we have once again put our CD32 ISOs up for download. Huzzah!

At the moment, we only have three ISOs, but this will hopefully increase over the coming months. I'm currently trying to find my Ultimate Body Blows ISO, which I have archived somewhere. Any other ISOs that EAB readers may wish to contribute would be greatly appreciated.

My @dream17.co.uk email address is currently out of commission, so if anyone wishes to contact me they can do so via PM and I can give them my personal email address.

A lot of the Team17 games have been dumped for TOSEC and I'm sure people won't mind uploading them to an ftp for ya.

I know personally that I dumped Proj-x/Ult Body Blows, Arcade Pool, and Superfrog (Islona). There are certainly quite a few others that have been done too.

You moved to servage? Good luck!

(They do extreme overselling, and like to close accounts citing their "using too much resources" clause when the hosted site is popular)

The site's actually being hosted on a friend's server which, apparently, is with Servage. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't spontaneously combust. In the meantime, I'm saving my pennies so that I can pay for my own hosting eventually.

Can I ask why you never took me up on my offer ?

BuZz · 10 July 2007, 01:12

Btw, I can't reach your site right now. I can;t reach www.servage.net either. Looks like they have some connectivity problem :/

[edit] It's back. 116gb in one day ? That's a hell of a lot of leechers you had

Shame servage don't give you direct access to you logs as you could see why/where it happened, and make some workaround rather than disabling downloads. One thing to note about b/w. An aborted "download" may still show up as 700mb. Apache doesn't log if something has "completed".. Or was this not web b/w logs but overall calculated from actual transfer?

I sent you an email and I didn't get a response. I assumed, incorrectly it would seem, that you'd changed your mind. Or that you'd vanished off of the face of the Earth. Sorry about that, I meant no disrespect.

Edit: Servage has given us access to the logs. Which is by and large a good thing. I also use Google Analytics which has proven to be invaluable.

I got an email from you on April the 5th, where you asked what the "catch" was with my hosting. I sent a reply. I got no more mails from you :/

I'm sure I sent another reply after that. Which email address did I send it from? If it was my Gmail account I can look it up.
