Default Mpeg Races hit the end of the road?

Hi all

At last the computer department have got to me with a request of closing
the web server down, so it seams to be the end of the road for the video
webserver in this form at least.
At least it don't happend in the middle of the season at least...

Sorry to inform you all about this.

That's really sad... Well, I was going to count on your site during Olympic season...
Well, maybe you should try to use torrents?

I want to thank you Janne for all the videos. I found your website last October before the 2004-2005 World Cup season. I managed to download every race from the 2002-2003 season to present and burn them to CD. I would definately pay to see this site re-open in some shape or form, as many other people would, or we could work something out with Eurosport. Especially because the World Cup is coming to Canada this year and it's the Olympic year. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Adam Doogan-Smith

Thanks for all the hours of toil (and the forebearance of your Computer
group in hosting the MPEGs). Maybe someone will happen upon another
resource for them.

Thanks again!

Thanks for everything, Janne! What you've contributed is so far beyond
the admirable, there are really no words to express the depth of my (and
our in the U.S.) appreciation.

Is there any kind of alternative, such as if someone else came up with a
server, would you be able to post there?

Hi Gene

I don't know anybody that have a 100mbit line and a storagecapacity
around 100gig laying around except the University for an acceptable
amount of money, do you?

I haven't given up it all but the service have definitly ended in this
fachion at least, but don't be to hopefull of anything the coming
seasoon, at least it will not be in the same form as before, that have
the University clearly stated.

Some mention moving over to bittorrents, hm, maybe, but that would also
include everybody in this NG to do so also and just looking at the
problems of just shifting the format to Xvid i would imagine that
bittorrent would be an even harder task to do.

When does it officially end? I'll think about this and see if I can come
up with an alternative. Do you have copies of all the files or will the
university allow you to keep the files for the time being?
