nice song quote in your profile by the way, i just noticed that (the 2pac/biggie song)

In that case, you should just pack the server with porn, enable anti-hotlinking for the movie files, and set-up a site where people can get it completely free but that it packed with pay-per-impression banner ads.

Without having to worry about bandwidth costs you'd be making a tiny amount of money every time someone downloaded the porn.

And since it's free porn, you'd get thousands of people downloading every day. You could rake in a fair few grand before your ISP decided to cut you off or demanded you stop raping the pipeline.

anon, your a genius ...uhhh, in a very scary way, but it seems to work:nervous: ...I think

[an0n]

Well, he could do it with anything, but porn is more widely popular than shareware games and whatnot.

Less impact on the bandwidth, too. I mean, really, you could compress that **** down to nothing and people'd still come because hey, it's free porn.

[Stealth]

yeah, they can't really cut us off, it's against the agreement.  they can (and have) ask us to keep our bandwidth usage down  but hey, we're doing our best.  i mean, we don't really want to piss off the providor, even though they do suck, because they've already done enough to f00k us over, such as disabling protocols (can you say ICMP?)... wouldn't want them to disable something (purposefuly) that would 0wn us...

... boom there goes our FTP

yeah who wants shareware games.  but hey, we could upload FULL games and movies

That'd complement the porn downloading quite nicely

Warez is tricky, though. They are shutting people down these days for clearing large amounts, and I think you'll find contract or no when it comes down to kicking you or getting sued by the MPAA they won't spend a lot of time deliberating.


Movies, though, would be cool. For those very few people like me who can't get onto filesharing networks. Problem is, a movie's a very large single package- if you're gonna make money off of ads you want as many and as small separate items as possible.

[an0n]

Just put tons of small porn files on there. Single scenes and such.

That way, people can't rape your bandwidth as efficiently and they have to click to more pages every time they want another file.

It's all about giving them the least, asking the most, but never asking enough to drive them away.

[Stryke 9]

Be sure to make the page design as inefficient as possible, too. No thumbnails, an extra "disclaimer" page or somesuch before the image page, etc. Ideally you can get 'em to look at two pages worth of ads for every actual picture they download.

[an0n]

Ideally, from the main page, they should be able to get to what they want by going through no more than 3 pages.

And pop-ups are like client-repellant.

well right now they're RAR compressed into multiple 14.6 MB files...

i guess i could compress them into a few hundred thousand 2 KB files

[an0n]

Go on KaZaA and just download every 10mb file you can find, stick 'em on the server and knock up a PHP file that pulls random file-names and links 20 at a time.

If you're giving them free porn, they won't so much mind there's no search functions or catergories.

[Stealth]

hah yeah. that'd work.

[an0n]

If you saw someone in the street giving out free pairs of trainers, would you give a **** that they were hard to put on?

[Stealth]

no

[Fineus]

On that note, can you guys leave the whole concept of porn and warez alone? You can spend all day emailing eachother these ideas if you like... but not here

[Stealth]

yeah we're just kidding

... or are we

[Stryke 9]

But we're not talking about warez and porn, we're talking about banner ads!

[Fineus]

Suit yourselves.
