Oh Ta BG LOL - mentioned to Spag earlier (from whom i pinched it with permission of course in the name of 2 copies online is better than one just in case)
Anyway last night let a friend who is a flippin IT guru at Ox Uni use my domain name for his sisters letting caravan thing up here as the domains doing nowt at the moment.
The bl**dy idiot managed to wipe everything i had off the server (3000 files) uploading his files and it took hours to get the backup there because of my poor upload speed.
This morning check it out and looked at the server stats, flippin 40 downloads of that manual there have been ! said to Spag should be selling it on fleabay
Them there antipodeans going to end me up with a bandwidth restriction or bill at this rate
Joined the forum and got a confirmation mail back saying that as i'm under 13 have to get an adult in charge of me to sign and return the form by fax or snail mail
WTFlip mailed back the admin and no reply.
So if any of you lot on the board down under read this or you BG if your a member there can you please add to that thread and just say that I'm in the process of splitting the damned thing into individual pages searchable by keyword so hopefully whatever your looking for you should only have to look at several pages not however many hundred it is.
Oh and send crates of Fosters here in appreciation - it might not be carlseberg but its better than tennants
Yes i HATE PDF's

I can host that file on a couple of my "unrestricted bandwidth" boxes at work, no problem.

This way, no one gets billed for hosting it. Maybe someone could tell the guys down under about the links too.
Cheers /Richard

Nice one Richard, didnt check but think i'm capped at 5GB BW before they want more money and they cant have what I dont got
Friend of mine got caugth out couple of years ago - hosted a small message board that took off big time, he ended up with a quite big monthly bill for extra bandwidth then had to pay for balanced server something or other as it would die when more than 20 people used it at the same time.
Our Spag has some brilliant files here (well the credit for the manual is his not mine - i just pinched it
)

When time permits hoping to get a domain just for all the useful Mog articles - and was thinking of hosting the large files on some free webspace.
