Rules for the Download Site
« on: November 04, 2006, 06:53:49 AM »

Note:
We are a modest site, so there are not many rules currently and we hope it stays like this. As time goes on problems will occur and we have to create new rules and enforce them. Users be mindful of  this thread, as failing to follow these few simple rules will risk in your accounts being warned or worse case deleted/banned from the system without comment.


READ THIS: http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2234.msg25664.html#msg25664

Rule 1: No Multiple Accounts
The system is set up so a user can register and download files via their account. Each account is given a certain amount of bandwidth to download each month. If users are found with unauthorized multiple accounts, such accounts will be subject to banning without comment.

The reason for this rule is that we are a non-profit website supported by our users. Currently if we were to let everyone have unlimited downloads the site would ultimately close down due to the strain and this is why we have to regulate how much everyone can download. To the folks with more than one account (which is totally unnecessary), we will detect you! You are risking this site's well being, thus you are most unwelcomed here and could find yourselves banned permanently from the site.

If you want an account with unlimited download bandwidth then please either support the site/servers with a donation or help our here by uploading files to us.

Rule 2: File upload types
When uploading files to the website we ask you try to only upload files with the following extensions: .rar/.cbr, .zip/.cbz, jpg

The reason we ask this is that we DO NOT support PDF files as they are normally lower quality images compared to cbr/cbz files. CBz/r files can be opened straight away with a comic book reader software and display high quality images. Users are then able to unzip/rar the files and use the images for their own personal use, unlike PDF files where they are protected.

If you require any help making digital comics please ask for help in the support room.

Rule 3 Mailinator.com/.info accounts/Disposable e-mail address providers, etc.
The download site we provide is totally free and by using it you agree to follow our small account of rules and use the site as we have set it out. Due to this I have decided delete all download accounts that were registered using the email addy: mailinator.com

The reason? Well since we are a free site and we DO NOT spam there is no need for you to set up fake accounts to register one or more accounts. First the user who today registered 7 accounts under different email addy's is the small group of people who are using too much of our bandwidth and risking the future of this account.

The reason we ask you provide a valid email addy is so we can try and control how many accounts you have and also if we ever have problems or change url's etc its useful to have a valid email addy to send you one email to inform you. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to access this great site.

Hello John,
To read comics on my computer, I use a couple of little progs. 
CDisplay
http://www.cdisplay.me/
http://www.cdisplayex.com/
Gonvisor
http://www.gonvisor.com/
 
There are others for computers and mobile devices and with any luck, someone will point you in their direction but those above work and are easy to use.

Good luck, enjoy the comics and post your thoughts on anything re comics on the forum.

I want them all!  ;) What is the download limit?
(I can respect your philosophy about torrents, but it would be nice if there were a way to grab a few hundred of the best in a way that didn't cost you in terms of bandwidth.)

Even torrents take bandwidth. Our limit is a five minute wait between downloads.

Hello. I registered last night and downloaded one comic today, but found that the downloaded file will not open. I use an iMac, OS 10.6.8. Any advice? Are the downloads for windows only?

I love the site, by the way, and am fascinated to read the many books I've never seen before and, hopefully, look forward to downloading some. Thanks for making this resource available.

This link should sort you out, until you buy a proper PC :)

Hi Mark,

Thank's for the info. I installed Simple Comic and now I can read the first download, Frazetta's "Thunda", with no problem - and I didn't even have to buy a "proper PC".

Regards,
Roghaz

Thanks for managing this wonderful site and by reading this post I understand that the wait between the downloads is 5 minutes. Am I correct.

It is down to two minutes now and narfstar is correct the same rule applies to everyone admins included. So we all share the same pain :)
