Track Downloads Database Admin Announcement

[doubledragoncc]

As it is important that we have a track data base I will step forward and do it. I will need to know how big a server is needed and also how I can setup the GPBOC PC to maybe used for this and other file storage and access point for GPB members as well.

I am new to this server stuff and dont know exactly WTF I am doing.

Naturally Hawky you will have to teach me everything as I am an old fart and  am not up on all this forum to server linking and whatchamacallit bumfluff that goes with it

I spend hours on the forum each day so it will not really add much more to my daily workload and it is something that we really need.

If you can get on skype to chat Hawky it would be a big help. My skype name is allan.beaton63  If anyone else needs to contact me for any reason feel free to call.

Thanks DD, very much appreciated. 

I've never done Skype, so I'll have to setup and A/c and try and contact you maybe tomorrow evening when I get back home, okay? 

Look forward to meeting you on Skype mate! 

Hawk.

Thx for your work Hawk.

All you have to do is have enough upload space and add the new tracks?

[HornetMaX]

All you have to do is have enough upload space and add the new tracks?

mega.nz = 50GB space for free.

You do need a decent upload speed though.

I know, my free account is already filled to the brim 50GB is not nearly enough for all the tracks.

Maybe a bittorrent system is a good idea?

He is asking how to do it holding the tracks directly on his server not using any 3rd party host.

Something like Syncback?

If you have your own server, space is surely not an issue.

All GPB trakcs on Hawk's mega.nz account are less than 15GB (and it could be much less if we weren't forced to have DS and NDS versions of each track).

If somebody wants to pick up this role, I'd strongly suggest to provide each track as a single .pkz file: much easier to handle for both the admin and the users.
I'd even put the track version number straight in the file name (e.g. Monza_v1.5.pkz). Notice this means the name is also used in/for the various track files (e.g. .ini).

Bittorrent ? No thanks, nobody will seed.

Ideally either mega.nz or (marginally better) an FTP site so one can use SyncBack. Notice that mega.nz also provide a sync tool (not tested).

Exactly! He asks how it can be shared from his server! Space was never an issue Lol.

Edit: OK he did ask "how big his server needs to be" as one of the questions. Apologies. I assumed there would be enough as he is unlikely to have less than 120Gb hard drive and GPBikes uses, what, 300Mb, OS; 10Gb and a few streaming softwares. But the real issue is the best way to share from it.

[HornetMaX]

I don't think he has his own server, he said "my free account is already filled to the brim".

[Napalm Nick]

Lol maybe we are crossed here 

The GPBOC server is his server that hosts all the GPBOC dedicated servers on. We are talking DD here not Boerenlater aren't we?

I will need to know how big a server is needed and also how I can setup the GPBOC PC to maybe used for this and other file storage and access point for GPB members as well.

We better stay out of this before everyone gets confused lol.
