Tick… tick… tick…
Excite@Home may, or may not, shutdown tonight — midnight or sooner. This would apparently mean that the Excite for AT&T@Home web page which I’ve never even looked at until tonight will go away and be replaced by something else I will also ignore.
AT&T claims that there will be no internet service interruption.
They’d better be right — they just fixed their news server this afternoon (apparently). How am I supposed to download BtVS at 56k?
The upside would be that my monthly 6-gig download limit at Easynews would seem extravagant. As it is though, it’s starting to cramp my style… I’m at 3.37 gigs, I just queued up a 443 meg download, and it’ll be 19 days ’til my download counter resets.
If my"free"news server tanks I’ll have to check out these guys, the Premium Plus account will let you download 9 gigs a day — if you bounce between all 16 of their servers.
I figure 9 gigs/day should be sufficient, since I can only theoretically download 7.5 gigs a day anyway.
BTW, my VCDs and SVCDs are working just fine in my Pioneer DV-343. SVCDs are, as the kids say,"da bomb!"
