There is one person ME who has to set up everyones downloads. If you took the time to read the threads you would see that. The new way of doing is 200mg or 20 files a month whichever comes first.
newcollector and orzel-w you are now set for the month



I implore our newbies (many of whom have been members for a while, but oddly choose to not support the site with posts or donations) to exercise extreme patience and understanding during this time.

Narf is the only admin around right now to keep this site going. Once Janus returns (sending out psychic vibes in his general direction) there will be a few additional admins around to help out.

However, for now, tread carefully with your complaining, even a kind soul such as Narf has to be nearing the edge of civility.

I understand there are new limits, but I am unable to download ANYTHING since coming back to the site. I haven't been around since the problems you guys were having with signing in last year, but I have posted scans to the site before, and don't consider myself a "newbie". Can you tell me what I need to do to get my downloads working again?

Let Narf know what your posted scans were so he can make a note of it and see about upgrading you to VIP status, and getting you some downloads between now and then.

I just upgraded 5 members today. I am working on getting two new content features here, and am in the process of working with a coder.
Right now instead of donations, if you have uploaded any books I can grant you VIP status. My apologies to newbies, I am working on a content feature that will enable newbies to get VIP status without donating or uploading books as well. I do not want to take the site down, so while the site is functioning best for VIP's I will correct the newbie status asap, and advise you all in the next few days when the content project officially begins....

Thanks Boox909 - just upgraded some members, moderators, and upgraded newbies to 200 megs every week. i hope this helps ease some of admin load here. I have to work on other site issues, but the site is working well - in terms of bandwidth and storage,. Just wanted to ease any concerns as I will be working on the features and may take a couple of weeks.

Janus I just used paypal to donate $20.00USD toward your efforts and to support the site.  ;D 

I encourage many to follow my example. ::hint hint shove kick::   ;)

Thanks Boox909! I did get this donation!

I know many users can not afford anything or much because of these hard economic times. I understand, and have increased the newbie limits.

This is much appreciated and will go directly to the development of the site, I am working with a coder on this as well.

thanks

YEAH it is working. Now can you remove the please do not donate button? It will help get more cash it. Remember after a donation to upgrade the individual Janus you are the only one who can.

Well thank you admin. for opening my account. I seem to have a problem with downloading it says my bandwidth is: 976.56 KB remaining. I haven't downloaded anything yet. So that's the total I have. Now I could be wrong but that's less than a Mb of files. Files range from 30 Mb down to about 5 Mb for incompletes. So how am I supposed to download with this limitation. Thanks for the help. I understand it's a new system, and I don't envy you the headache. Any help is appreciated. (p.s. Does anyone need help with fixing scans? I think I might be able to do some digital restoration for good scans.)

Hi there,
I registered here on March 8, tried to download something, and got the error message. I have returned twice to try again, without success.

I've read through the old posts about this issue, trying to see what if anything I can do to get to the next step.

If I've missed something, please remind me.

Thanks!

...and complain -- he had to do that too!  ;D ;D ;D

However, things are immediately improving and since newbies get 200mb WEEKLY there should be a bit less...although I do expect to see "I missed using my 200mb last week, can I get it added to my allotment this week?"  ::) ::) ::)
