I know it's been a long while between new posts. Unfortunately, this post won't have anything new available as DrEyescope and I are very busy with our careers and various projects nowadays. I do not know when there will be anything new here. This post is about addressing reposts.
I just found out that ADrive is planning to discontinue its services for free accounts on November 16. (I also found out it was announced in September, but I haven't checked my email in a while.) That means that ADrive will be deleting all free accounts and all the files that are in those free accounts. It happens that I am one of those folks with a free account. I put in a lot of time over the past year or two reuploading a lot of files to ADrive so that they will stay up for a long time. All of those files will be gone on November 16 because ADrive wants to charge people for the privilege of using its services. It's a profit-making business foremost so I understand that's the way it has to be. However, it would have been great if it could grandfather the free accounts by letting them stay while not accepting any more free users since free users helped it by trying it and perhaps also helped to persuade more people to use it. I do not wish to sign up for a premium account with them therefore I will be finished with ADrive on November 16 as far as I am concerned.
If you have not yet gotten any or some older files, now is the time to grab everything you want while you can. Due to lack of time, I have not been able to keep up with what file-sharing services/cloud services/filehosters are out there. Just about all of the familiar names from the first generation in that industry (e.g. Rapidshare, Zshare, Badongo, etc.) are gone. The only ones I can name off the top of my head right now are Mega and Zippyshare. Anyone is welcome to offer suggestions of what to use.
I do not know what I will do or use after Nov. 16. It's likely there will be a lot of dead links here. I hardly have time nowadays to tend to this blog much less do a bunch of reups. As I already said, get them while you still can.
Dec. 9, 2015 UPDATE: The ADrive links are still active for the moment. Apparently, ADrive pushed back the date. I just found out that it said it will permanently delete all free accounts on January 1, 2016. If you still haven't got what you want, you still have some time left.
Well, in any event, I have sure enjoyed the postings here and have greatly enjoyed some of them. Thanks for your work! I'll continue checking here and hope to see activity from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope to continue activity here and more often.
DeleteThat's really too bad about ADrive, dude. A blog is a lot of hard work without your files being deleted! I love the music on this blog, and hope it continues.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope to continue with this blog.
DeleteI'm very satisfied with MEGA; 50 GB of free space is enough, I think...
ReplyDeleteMy ADrive account had 50 GB of free space too. I used around 46 GB.
DeleteI have a blog like yours (restinbits) since 2009 and this situation happened to me several times. Currently I have a Mega account where I've been uploading new shows in the recent months. When any user wants to download from a dead link, they post a request comment and I re-upload it in Mega.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably do what you're doing and re-upload requests in Mega. Yeah, it sucks that this situation happens. I wish it wouldn't happen too often to anyone.
DeleteI just wanted to say how grateful I am for your sharing. A small "community" like this where explorations and learning are encouraged is very important, and I feel those who make the effort, oft times are not acknowledged or given thanks; for whatever reason. So, with a heartfelt thank-you I am grabbing what I can before Adrive limits your largesse. And, I encourage others to do the same as you suggest!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope you're able to grab everything you want.
DeleteSuch a drag. I was lucky to have uploaded most of my contributions to Mediafire, and the links still work. They can be had for the foreseeable future - whatever that is.
ReplyDeleteThanks, BIG thanks to you, grey calx, for all your work on this blog and all the RE-uploads you've made over the years. You've been a titan and a solid resource for many of us. I'm grateful. Now I better try and "collect them all" before they're gone again.
Best wishes until later.
DrEyescope.
You're welcome, DrE.
DeleteI'm not pleased that your files that I reuploaded for you will be gone again.
I'm glad you didn't have the same problems with Mediafire as I had. Many of my Mediafire files became inaccessible when it started using that copyright detection program. It mistook most of my files for something else and that's how I ended up using ADrive.
I plan to reupload requests in Mega and slowly start reuploading other files in Mega too.
Hopefully, you were able to collect them all before this Monday.
Best to you.
Hi GC- I just now went to adrive and the Dec 27,2007 post of Morton Feldman (originally posted by HC Earwicker) is still alive. I was able to get stuff earlier this week - every link I tried worked... Seems like most everything is still alive for the moment.
ReplyDeleteHi DrE, as usual sorry for the late reply. I noticed too that the ADrive links are still alive.
DeleteI was curious why the links are still alive. I logged into my ADrive account and a new notice has appeared stating that all free basic accounts (incl. my account) will be deleted on January 1, 2016. I guess that they pushed the date back. I was hoping my account would be grandfathered and stay.
Here's hoping you kickstart this awesome blog again sometime in the future, thanks for everything from London
ReplyDeletestill waiting for your new blog.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Eric
