Buddy, could you spare a mirror?

[Ponch]

Hello all,

Some of you may know me as the Barn Runner guy. Of course, some of you may not. (In that case, "Hello, I'm the Barn Runner guy".)

Well, as part of "Release Something Day", I posted a short movie for my upcoming game. I received a lot of positive e-mails about it and it seemed to be a generally well-liked submission for the occasion.

This may be the reason that my last game has experienced a significant bump in traffic. Since last Saturday, my old game has been downloaded about 11,000 times* more than I expected. Between the regular game page and this site (that has opted to bypass my download counter. Thanks a bunch, guys ), traffic is way up and this has caught me off guard.

I've received quite a few e-mails in the last couple of days from people who were trying to download the game but my regular download link wasn't responding or took a long time to respond. The traffic may be a bit too much for my free provider.

Would anybody be kind enough to mirror my game for a little while. At least until this passes? It might help ease the pressure a bit until everyone comes to their senses and realizes that they're downloading a Barn Runner game, for God's sake and they really have better things to do with their free time than that!

The file is only 7 mbs (or thereabouts) and I promise it's house trained. It won't shred your couch or track up that nice rug you have that really pulls the room together. It doesn't eat much and requires little attention. It just needs a home for a while. (Warning: Obvious grab at sympathy!)

Can anybody help me? I would greatly appreciate it.

* Of course, I may be completely misunderstanding what I'm looking at. That's happened with traffic lights. Still, e-mail complaints seem straightforward enough.

Sorry but his hosting has turned tp crap  now .
I tried to download some of your files the other day and they were replaced with something else or the page wouldn't open . and uploading anything is a joke now .

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Matter of opinion. I'm quite satisfied with it. Just so that there is feedback from both sides.

BTW, which things did you try to download? I'd like to look into it.

Helpful. Well, if you - or anyone else - come across that problem again, please let me know, so I can look into it.
