SpaceToast Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Here is a QuickTime link to my short "Marboxian." Some of you may have seen this at the Hash film show at SIGGRAPH; Ottawa; or one of a few other screenings. It's picked up a couple of minor awards, and audiences -- including, I'm told, a roomful of very sleepy children, once -- seem to like it. Link. Two warnings: First, the file is 114MB (12 minutes at good quality). Second, it's hosted through my cable modem, and I can't guarantee decent bandwidth. (Mike Muncy's been great to me, but I really can't afford the kind of bandwidth I'd need to host it off his servers. Or... much else right now. *sigh*) Keep democratizing- -M@ Quote
JohnArtbox Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Tried to download 3 or 4 times with no success it sounds good Quote
SpaceToast Posted January 29, 2004 Author Posted January 29, 2004 Tried to download 3 or 4 times with no success it sounds good Define "no success." My connection's pretty sluggish right now, suggesting you're not the only one trying. What's going wrong? Is the connection timing out? Is the download interrupting, or stalling? This is a pretty spit-and-bailing-wire approach to hosting the clip, so I'm sure there are kinks. Let me know what's happening- -M@ Quote
zacktaich Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I've been downloading for about 2 hours so far and I'm 30% done. Pretty sluggish... And I may have to shutdown. Maybe you should ask if someone with the bandwidth available would be willing to mirror it for you. Quote
starving4rtist Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I finished downloading last night...I'll watch it and get back to you Quote
SpaceToast Posted January 29, 2004 Author Posted January 29, 2004 I've zipped the QuickTime file down to 92MB. Not a big change, but perhaps a bit more manageable. Zack, nice thought; know anyone? At any rate, thanks for trying, everyone- -M@ Quote
Kricket Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Took all day yesterday but I managed to download your short. It was very cool, I enjoyed it a lot Thanks! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 31, 2004 Hash Fellow Posted January 31, 2004 I'm curious to see it, but had no success in even getting to a link that would start a download. One thought... A $10/month account with a website hoster would get you space and bandwidth for something like this. Of course, getting someone to mirror it for free would be cheaper. Quote
