Re: Hungercity?

A friend tells me that all of the torrents he is downloading through HC come up as "Banned by the HC Management"!

Could it be he's banned and not the torrents he's trying to download?

Re: Hungercity?

I asked and the following is the full text on each torrent " This BT client is banned by HC Management". His ratio is about .6

There is your answer. Just tell him to use another bittorrent program, preferrably uTorrent, and his problem will be fixed.

Question Re: What's with Hungercity again?

Noticing this morning it's down. Down for the count this time or just temporary? Did they manage to get their server bills donated for this time again or ???

Question Re: What's with Hungercity again?

How come some torrent sites need money to live while others never even mention a need for cash? Rich benefactors that sponsor some sites privately? Someone has an "in" with someone that owns a server? Someone's got t-shirt money? What? I don't get it...

I gather English is not Shareef's first language, eh?

sometimes people are a bunch of broke asses, i guess.


TTD costs $150/mo to run + probably 100 or so man-hours of staff work. Of course, that can vary. We've been around nearly 9 years and usually manage to run a bit of a surplus each year which can be spent on things like oh-shit support issues, server moves, ram, etc, without having to post giant MS-Word messages in place of the homepage.

Just a guess, but I thnik Hunger City should be able to to be run a bit cheaper than TTD.


Also, some sites are just run by flaky motherfuckers. In our case, we have Lynne, who is about as solid as it gets. For the 'oh fuck' problems, we have Wolf. Also, very solid.

Re: What's with Hungercity again?

I sure understand being broke-ass! But I ain't really a flaky motherfucker! haha

Well, I am sort of, but that's different!




Maybe they should look at moving servers to someone that *could* do it all for less money? I sort of think they're getting ripped off, too!

Here's to hoping that something good work out for them...
