It's a pretty great site, Influx mentioned it here, and they need someone to maintain it if it's going to last.

"Calling all sampleheads: If you think you might have the enthusiasm and resources and time it takes to run the Ontology server, please contact me to talk about adopting this community. I will supply the computer, drives, data, and domain name. You must have an always-on Internet connection and a spare static IP address. Ontology will consume a lot of your upload bandwidth, so a minimum 384Kbps upload stream is recommended.

Email me at canton@ontology.com if you think this is a project you might like to take on."

its a hotline server k, you need to dl the hl client sw then you can connect up to the server and teef the smaples.

in the email canton says he only needs help until he can get a decent dsl hookup in seattle where hes moving or something like that.

so is it like peer to peer ? - people would be downloading from your actual pc at home via this client? - who has a static ip address with dsl?? - only if it's a more expensive dsl package, most consumers have floating ip dsl.

yeah, if you're setup as a hl server people can dl stuff from your pc but you can't dl fom theirs, they can upload stuff however. Its more of a mac thing.

Does that make sense? Most servers are strictly upload in order to download though which is a right old cunter.

i seriously doubt that's going to work.

essentially, hotline servers _are_ BBSs; the whole uplaod/download ratio thing, EVERYTHING...

pretty cool though. especially now that we've moved beyond 2400baud.

"who has a static ip address with dsl?? "

you'd be surprised... there are 1000s of mac servers, and they all seem to be pretty good (i.e 20+gigs and DSL/T1/etc. connections). _no_ idea how that stuff is payed for -- i can't even afford dial-up!

you should check it out (but if you're on PC i don't think you can use hotline... it's a bit weird. my understanding is, hotline=mac, and ____=pc. equivalent softwares, but a different name. check out.. ummmm....

http://www.tracker-tracker.com/

which is like a search engine for hotline. or something.. who knows?

Yes, you can use hotline on a PC.

If he's offering to give away the whole site, why would he care that it stays on hotline or whether or not there's an upload before you download policy? I'm sure that policy is there to encourage the growth of the archive, and not for any other reason.

I'd love to see this become part of DT
