Moment of Silence, Moment of Thanks

First, a moment of thanks to Sean Keener of Boots'n'all for being so kind and generous and hosting the mp3 files for the blog for the past year+.

Unfortunately, the (meager amount of) popularity of AgainAgainMixCD has caused us to go over the amount of bandwidth he was willing to give us. I think the problem stemmed mostly from putting the entire top 40 up at the same time for download, and we're going to adjust the amount of files we have up at any one time in the future.

Some of you may have noticed over the past 24 hours that the files are no longer downloading. Let's have a moment of silence now for the mp3.keener.org server, which having lived a good and pleasant life, has now closed its virtual doors.

I'm looking into other forms of hosting, whether it's on someone else's server, or through one of the free file hosting services. The downside to those is that it puts an extra step or two between the reader and downloading mp3s. Upside, no charge.

In the meantime, if anyone knows anyone out there with some extra server bandwidth, please contact me.
