What happened to bandwidth for the past 30-45 minutes? Did Ben release a 360p photo & immediately pull it or something?

The server sucks, and randomly doesn't work... especially lately.

Wow, it's like a fat guy trying to get an...nevermind.

So...we all know that once Ben releases ANYTHING 360p related, the server's going DOWN! So...How long do you think it'd be till the server goes back up that day? (or will it be like last time, when the host did that...thing...)

By the way, (Sorry Ben, but it's a little obvious now) Ben said via email that on his 'unknown' project, he'd not use a PSone screen. I asked him if he's using a 720p screen, but he never said...

720p Rules all!!!! (Unless you take 1080i into consideration...)

I think that bens host maybe lease out servers from Dreamhost.com's made datacentre. As it went down at the exact time a generator fire, during a power outsage put down their entire network.

Well, he won't be using anything smaller than a PSOne screen, or anything with a lower resolution... so yeah, he might go progressive... and that will be nice.

He got joystiq'd about his NPOD2 (which I didn't even hear about until later when I was at my friends house trying to show him the "super" nes mod...

edit: apparently the NPOD2 is a month old. I really need to check the front page more...

If there is a 360P coming out, I would host the images on my server to cut down on the bandwidth load if you'd like. My site won't be getting enough hits yet for it to kill me.

I would also like to help out bandwidth wise, and maybe get a random webby everytime the picture loaded.

I've been helping out (as much as I can) by setting my firefox to show pictures as text on this site.

Ben really should put up a donation center at the site, to help keep this crap from happening. Plus, I'm sure Ben wouldn't mind the extra cash!
