@ Alang - I've PM'ed you

I know this is early on down the line, but I can see a problem ahead of us....

For example, last night alone (from the current 646 downloads) we transferred well over 1gb of data. We're only working with a 6gb/month hosting account. We've now got two options:

1) Buy a hosting account with more bandwidth (eg the G5 special here - http://xitocreations.com/hostingspecials.php)

2) Find a lot of mirrors.... quickly

What do you think that we should do? - Bearing in mind that any cash spent on funding this venture would be coming straight from our back pockets.

<_<

Yeah, same as my site too....on the first day alone served over 1.5GB.....I'm not sure the 35GB I got will last for a month....hope I don't have to upgrade my hosting because of bandwidth usage

I already reply your pm......

Phew, that was close

For those of you that don't visit StyleSuites (shame on you) we almost went down due to lack of bandwidth. We didn't think we would be this popular! But the really kind people at RapidGaming offered us a host for the files, and 16 times more bandwidth. :woot:

Great site and great idea . The one thing i didnt see much of was credit to any of the authors of the files. I also noticed theres a link to one of the DSX wallpapers i did but its named dark panther on the site. Maybe im a little petty but wouldnt it just be better to name the files what they originaly where to make life easier and not to confuse people ??

Ive not spent alot of time on the site but i will be doing to check it out to see what other goodies there are that i might not have seen before. (Y)

That's really good news! :woot:

No more headaches over bandwidths!

@mentaleruptions: You've got a point there. Would be nice if the authors can get the proper credits for their work. It would be every author's pride to be able to share their work and get proper recognition.

OK Guys - Thanks

We will try to post the authors name in every download we add from now on

About bandwidth. We do have enough bandwidth, but we are in the process of transferring the site to the new host, meaning that it could be down for a couple of days. I'll post here with progress on the transfer when it is near completion.

Thanks

[dappleyard 0]

OK - The site is fully transferred and back online with a whole lot of bandwidth for all your download needs

Thanks to www.rapidgaming.com

OK, people, a quick update. We need your help on deciding what the next Suite should be. You can vote on the main page, using the poll on the right side of the page. Get voting! :woot:

It's hard to believe how amazing your site is.... seriously. I'm just curious, now that it's been up for, what, at least a month now, what kind of traffic are you getting, what kind of bandwidth is it using? What kind of problems or pleasantries have you been having? (Oh, and I voted for brushed... I'm deep into FT500 again. Damn is it smooth.) Thanks, gentlemen, for such a great community resource.

[dappleyard 0]

Well, at the time of writing, we've had 9477 downloads, transferred over 20gig of bandwidth, and had somewhere around 34903 visitors from 81 different countries, averaging at 350 per day.

Dappleyard; the man with the stats!

Yeah, I didn't think that it would be this popular. Thanks to all you people for visiting and downloading :rule:

[dappleyard 0]

OK - We're now in the process of adding the new suites guiPod, and Aluminium Alloy (poll winners) - If you have any content for these themes please, please click on the "Submit your work" link at the top of the site. We need all the content we can get!

Thanks for your support

[dappleyard 0]

GuiPod has now been added, along with lots of other files today. Enjoy!

[Simon 0]

Yeah, we've added quite a lot of Aluminium Alloy files too :woot:

[ji eun 0]

You fellas are great.

[Seph 0]

I have to say im really impressed with your site.

Keep it up!!!! (Y) :bow:

[Simon 0]

Don't worry, we will. We've got a few more suprises up our sleaves too....

[dappleyard 0]

Well, you didn't have to wait long for the first.... erm.... 'surprise'

A new "applications" section has been added to the site. Enjoy - And as always, if you've anything to add or recommend, please let us know!

I know it's a bit sparse at the moment, but it will fill up over the next few weeks.

We'll keep you posted!

I've got a little suggestion.

Instead of showing just the links (e.g. icons, cursors, windowblinds etc.) where some of them are empty, how about adding a file count feature at the end of the link such that it helps users by letting them know there's no files in some of them?

Just a thought.

[dappleyard 0]

Excellent idea

I'll add that sometime in the next couple of hours

- Just added it - thanks

[silencedge 0]

:woot: Very much simplified and straightforward browsing now.

Many thanks dappleyard.

Does anyone think there would be a demand for a "tutorial" section of the site? (for example, post tutorials on how to convert firebird to safari, thunderbird... etc etc)
