Am I the first repyly?
woot!
anyway, great video Rob, but I was just wondering how you go about filling the U tube and starting the siphon?

[Rob]

oh, darn, forgot all about this...

actually what i use is an air tube.. slipped in the tip to the top of the "U"
then with both ends in the water, adn the return line going.

then i suck the air out and it starts the siphon ..

were you able to see the whole video?

[RocketSeason]

Yeah I got 3/4 of the way done downloading (took nearly 2 hours) and then it stopped. wouldn't play anything.

I am using I tunes to do it.

you look after us rob in ever respect possible, but the work load is head splitting for the site> isn't it about time u appointed me a god of the underworld so i could help u with your work load.... all those in favour say I

lol feel free to kick me in the butt in an usher gesture to move on!!!

[Rob]

lol.. its ok V...
yeah, the problem with the speed is its a large video file, about 100 MB or so.
when i last upgraded the server i had to change the way the bandwidth worked.

so instead of being allowed x GB per month, im moved to unlimited GB per month, but only at a throughput of x mb/s.. so its more cost effective, but does mean that initial release days of very large files are going to be slow. i deemed it acceptable, since post people can just let it download in the background, or run it overnight using a podcatcher.. maybe i need in add another line to it.. man..
this is also assuming people are using a client, and not downloading from the site directly...

[V]

i know ur not asking me these questions> cause u have stat collecting Prodicols collecting data! the only question u need from us is if its enough money to keep the costs of the bandwith & extra components viable! what is your ratio of itunes fetch to other clients grabbers?
