Zell Videos - my site went down but should be back soon!
Well, last night I posted those Zell Miller interviews on my site, http://BushLies2.Us , and so many people tried to get it, that they froze my account. By their calculations, I would have used 7 TERRABYTES of bandwidth at the rate it was being downloaded!! LOL! Anyways, I just sent them an email telling them that it would only have been a temporary spike lastng a day or two, then it would have gone back to normal...I let him know that if I reach my monthly bandwidth of 130 GB/mo in 3 days Ill just have to buy another account from him...lol...he should be emailing me back to tell me the site is back up soon. Ill post back when it is.

1. If I may...
...I suggest you put your stuff out on the bittorrent P2P networks. I push out lots of stuff like that, and it meters the use, and once it gets around, others take some of the burden of distribution off your shoulders.

4. I use bit torrent
I do use that for a lot of things, but I like to have the videos play as soon as someone visits the site so they HAVE to see the hypocrisy and lies - at least some of it until they find the stop button. Their right wing propoganda has been shoved down my throat for 31 years - now its my turn. They say it is 'impolite' to have videos or audio autoplay on your site, but I say its impolite to call gays immoral and not allow them to marry. I think its impolite to take away my Bill of Rights. I think its impolite to invade defensless countries for oil contracts.

5. Next time you do this you might want to drop the vids down to 15 fps
instead of 30. It's still watchable and cuts the file size almost in half.

Here's a mirror of your Zell on CNN vid, for folks who haven't seen it yet.

And here's a partial mirror of the Hardball vid, but it's only 80% of what you had on your site. It still plays, but it cuts out before the end.
