Some time has passed since our latest post on this site, but I finally decided to write down a few lines to let you know about the latest news we can offer:
From now on, all our torrents will support Web-Based seeding. Our site features HTTP or FTP links as well as torrent downloads. The files are identical. BitTorrent clients will be able to download from either source, putting all the parts together into one complete file, and share out the pieces they get from other sources to their Peers as they are validated.
We opened the Sixty Five, Ltd. community forums! I wanted to keep this one as a surprise for the new year, but decided to open them right now instead. Search for an answer, post your question, or answer other users’ questions here!
We are going to disable hotlinking to our disk images. Despite our kind requests, there are still sites that refuse to use the links we provided them, and instead link directly to our disk images. This effectively breaks our efforts in keeping the load of our servers balanced, something that is not going to be tolerated from now on.
With the increasing appreciation of our softwares, our bandwidth usage skyrocketed, to the point that our site almost got offline by the end of November. Within the next weeks we would most likely release a couple of new softwares, but we believe that their effective availability would be conditioned by this problem. Our forums would also be affected, and thus we agreed that it would be a good idea to host our site on a paid plan.
Good quantities of hard disk space and bandwidth would cost us about $200.00 USD, which is not something we can really afford at the moment (remember that all our softwares are currently released for free). Any donations would be highly appreciated.
