Aces High Movie Database

This thread should be a sticky.

FILE UPLOADING: Currently down
I have the file that everyone has uploaded for now.  Uploading will resume when I officially launch the site.  Hopefully within the week

WEBSITE IS UP
http://www.derstuhl.com/alpha
Okay, the website is up and currently in Beta Stage.  It's nearly fully functional.  I'd like people to try it out and see what they think.  Find any bugs or comment on it.  If the site works out in a few days, I'll register a domain, something like www.aceshighmovies.com or something.

If you want to upload a file, you have to read the FAQ section on the site.  It explains the options on how to upload files.  To highlight uploading movies, there are a few options.  You can upload a file directly off your computer to the FTP site (note the login and pass have changed).  From there I will copy it to the site.  Or, if the movie is currently hosted on a different website, there is an option on the site to transfer from one web server to the AHMD web server (this is really slick, I tried it out, transfered a 90mb movie in about a minute).  Or, you can link a movie to be listed on the site.

I will be working on a How To Use An FTP tutorial for those who do not know.  Otherwise, two FAQs explain the site and how to upload/download files.  You can email me comments or suggestions: ryan@derstuhl.com or post in this thread.

Note, people that uploaded their movies a few days ago to that FTP, the files have been moved and can be directly accessed from http://www.derstuhl.com/alpha website.  If you uploaded one to the FTP, I already added the entry to the AHMD website.

Hi Fulmar,
Congratulations on your website.  I plan on using your services in the near future.  It's moving in a direction I really think is great.  Very organized, creative, easy to use and useful.


  So far I've tried to download 2 files.  Both files finished downloading prior to the file being completely downloaded.  I tried again to download both of them with the same results.  Paradigm and Der Grosse Schlag were the files I tried to download, both being zip files containing a wmv file.  End result, file is corrupt and I'm unable to view the content.  Is it just my end?

[Fulmar]

i will download it and check, thanks for the info kermit.

EDIT:  I downloaded Der Grosse Schlag and it worked fine, finished the entire download and unzipped fine.  Paradigm, however, finished completely but was corrupted.  I am in the process of reuploading Paradigm.  I'm not sure why the file was corrupt, the file size of the download is the exact same as the one on my local HD (the original I uploaded).  It's possible some type of file error occured during a move in directories where the files were stored.

I won't get to downloading them all tonight, but I will check each download to see if there are problems.

EDIT EDIT:  Correction, it appears when I download the direct link from my server (not through the AHMD website), the file worked fine, as in the Der Grosse Schlag test.  But when through the site, like Paradigm I tested, it became corrupt.  But if I went back to the direct link for Paradigm, it worked.  I will be investigating this further.

I tried a smaller file Uberfinns through the site and it worked fine.  Very strange....

[Fulmar]

Paradigm was fixed.  Der Grosse Schlag may have to be reuploaded.  I'll have to go through and download each one to see if they are bad or not.

[Kermit de frog]

Fulmar, I hope it's just the internet acting up tonight.  Maybe it will be okay tomorrow.  Good luck.

The Movie and Film section is currently OFFLINE.  Should be up by this evening and solved the premature download ejection

[RATTFINK]

Awsome work, Sir. May I include a link to it on our squad web site?

Halo,

If you need a HTML banner w/ link to the AHMD site, I already made one if you would like it.

Here is what it looks like:



PM me if you need the code.

[Fulmar]

Thanks for the banner Rattfink.

I try and add whatever movie I can find.  Unfortunately, a lot of 'oldies' do not have valid download links anymore, so I need people that do have them, upload them.

[RATTFINK]

No problem.


Here is the HTML code for the squads that want a cool link/banner on their website to link to the AHMD site.

we need sticky.

[Spiffing]

Skuzzy and gang.

Any reason this movie site/database can't be a permant link off the home page - or at least a sticky? This seems to be the missing link in the AH website and it can only help.

Thx
Spiffing.

Sticky!
