Some old VHS videos

Post by Rainwearboy »

Going through archive drives I found a couple of old VHS video recordings and decided to share them on a small webserver I have.
Please feel free to browse and download should you see anything you like. The link should (hopefully) stay valid until the end of the year/month.

It is only a 2mbps line so be patient. ;)

Love the effort but this is not working at all.
I can't even get the JPEG to download.

The website returns mostly
"HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable."
"404 - File or directory not found."
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed,
or is temporarily unavailable.


Is there no way we can make it a community effort to share the files?
Split the archives. (They are already sorted by name).
- Make a torrent and commit to share it a while.
- Upload to a online file-share.

Hence I can even spend my office server connection to host it for a while at 60 mbits, it's 30x faster.
Maybe someone has even better ideas. Share them below.
Would be a waste to let these fine video's remain unseen.

As much as your work is appreciated, it's almost useless if we always get "service unavailable" notifications 😥

The connection the server was on only had a speed of 2mbps, therefor the server limited connections to 8 at a time. Anyone trying to connect when it was at capacity would get a 503/unavailable response and had to try later when hopefully a slot opened up. That said it seems they pulled the plug on that connection after 266GB of traffic - a solid 20GB per day. Not a bad showing, glad some of you could make use of it.

Would it be an alternative to use a cloud space like Google Drive? They have enough server performance, you just had to upload files and make them accessible for all who get the link. 🧐😉

I have tried some and, got a few. Thank you for that.

But would it not be easier also for you to make it a torrent file with a Magnet link.
Anyone who gets even a peace wil start sharing at the same time.
This will greatly reduce the load on you're system (and costs).
And I can dedicate sharing for a while to help others.
Hence anyone with a Synology NAS can let the NAS do it.
