  • Back in the day (mid/late 90’s), there were private ftp servers that required a ratio. Some of these were run by release groups and hard to get on, some were more public. Couriers would download from one site and upload to another to build their ratio and get access to the good sites.

    Before people figured out you could connect two ftp servers together directly, you would have to download to your computer and reupload. Most people were on dialup, so that was a non trivial time commitment.












  • I’m happy to export your data for you from the database if you want it, but I don’t have an easy way to do that beyond writing queries by hand for each table. Is there some subset specifically that you’re looking for?

    We don’t log any IP addresses except web server access logs temporarily, and we can’t identify which log entries are which users. There’s no login history in the DB, it doesn’t even log the last login for a user.

    If you’re willing to write the queries for the data you want, I don’t mind reviewing them and then giving you the output.
