According to the logs, there’s been 25,260 requests through the proxy since it was initially set up a few weeks ago. A good 4,000 of those have been requests for eBaum’s world. Gamesloth.com came in second, AddictingGames.com third, and Newgrounds fourth. 236 requests for a Japanese oriented porn site. Sigh.
The first four I don’t mind so much; but porn? C’mon, do that on your own connection: not mine.
One of the daily things I do on Torrentspy is to surf across their vast selection of movies. If I find a film with an interesting and obscure title, I generally google it to see its reviews.
This is how I came across “Stereo Future”; a Japanese movie that was originally released in 2001. Naturally, this film never saw the light of day in North America, which is extremely unfortunate as it has to be one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Such is the somewhat illegitimate beauty of filesharing.
I can’t stress enough how one should see that film. Its part romantic drama, part humour, and overall soothing and natural cinematography.
Note to Americans: it is illegal to watch this film, as removing the region-encoding necessary to view this DVD in DVD players is illegal in the US.
I now added a link to the right under “My Subsites” for a java-based SSH Terminal. Handy for those who want to access their home computers from restricted environments (port 22 must be open).
This is the 5th day of 12 hour shifts at work, so I’ve had little time to progress on EYNTO. However, the show has spread about, and can now be found on Archive.org and soon on RantTV.
The show was rejected from Slashdot. This is good news actually, as it means I dont have to worry about bandwidth constraints and the bittorrent idea is no longer a necessity. I want to thank everyone who seeded 🙂
I’m still working on a DVD ISO. Just need to sync the audio right to the video; create more imagery; and I’ll be done.
Other good news: got a B in Math. Considering I had %40 throughout the year, this is most excellent news (I nailed the exam).
I’ve had 10GB in bandwidth used up for the EYNTO Show in its first day! That’s very good: Its equivalent to 45 people downloading the Show! However; I have a limit of 100GB, and GoDaddy will literally bankrupt me if I go over by even a small amount.
So I’ve implemented a PHP script that tracks the downloads and makes sure I don’t exceed my allocated traffic. Meanwhile, thanks to the help of an individual from another forum, I was able to get a 2nd mirror up. I’m now FXPing the files to Archive.org.
I’m also hosting a bittorrent tracker. I see three seeders on it right now. Whoever you are: thank you. I know there’s little traffic now, but if ever this gets slashdotted or the like, it’ll really pay off. Thanks.
