Aqua-Soft ForumsICEMAN IS BACK!!!!! HE IS STILL AT HIS OLD SITE http://WWW.AMILCARGUERRA.COM/~ICEMAN 
Iceman Back Again!!!!!!!!!!
didn;t work for me 
No, guys, I'm sorry but I won't back... at least not in the near future My site is up but all my downloads are blocked
I'm really sorry.
ipodlover please stop. We're all happy that Iceman's site is back and he is back and we're not happy that his downloads are blocked but please STOP with the 'HE'S BACK' and 'HE'S GONE' threads. It is getting really annoying.
Iceman,
ever considered making your site a members only site? Where people have to pay a small amount a month for membership like maybe $5 or $10.00? Id pay it and Im sure others would.
That is an interesting idea am7. Maybe an even better one would be to restrict the whole site to members but you wouldn't even have to charge. Just have people e-mail you for the password to the downloads. That way, you can't access them without the password. Keep a log of everyone you've given a password to and then if a server attack happens again then the person who did it must have the password and that limits it down a lot easier. It wouldn't have to be this exact system but something along those lines would probably work.

well his site was working when i made this thread and when i
made this thread i downloaded his sys files!
Guys: I appreciate your ideas, but sadly there is no way to implement that. I'm against ANY site that you have to pay to visit.
I'll try to do something with the downloads, just give me some time.
Iceman.

How about using a java applet with a random mirror picker (if you could get mirrors). With this approach, nobody would have direct links to your files and they would have to use a browser.
ya theres an idea to have to pay to access the site. So then one person pays and then all the files end up on kazaa or some mirror where people dont have to pay. Please dont try to ruin this community with making people pay. We already have to pay for stardock, it would be nice if that was the only thing. It is not iceman's fault that this happened. He should not have to change anything. I know that when i first started with this community, it would have totally turned me off right at first if i had to pay for stuff.
the only reason I suggested making it a pay site is so only members can access the links to download which would
1.help prevent from attacks
2. help him pay for the bandiwdth he uses
Im against pay sites but he and others are putting alot of working and time into making these mods and putting up sites and their doing all for free which is good but Im willing to pay for what I use, Im not trying to take advantage. I think the only way you can prevent the attacks is doing this or assigning individual passwords or setting up the downloads through cgi scripts to avoid linking and stealing of bandwidth. I dont think some of the people here understand how much bandwidth is, and he was hosting 8 to 10 MB files which is crazy. But I was just throwing a suggestion out there, sure the stuff could end up on kazaa but when the main point is avoiding attacks does it really matter if its on kazaa? Its not using his server resources so its all good. My 2 cents anyways
I would pay. Iceman has one of the most comprehensive sites out there. The password idea is also good. There's plenty of Java Scripts that will do that.
I'm not for pay sites, nor would I like Iceman's site to become a paid site but if it came to that I believe I would shell out....I'm pretty sure most of us would too...

Iceman, if you send me your site files i MAY be able to bring ur downloads up onto my webspace. E-mail me at michael@gamersring.com if your interested.
Iceman: I just found a place that gives you 50MB of space with unlimited Bandwith and unlimited File Size. It also lets you link from remote locations. They even ENCOURAGE you to have more than one account. E-mail me and i can tell you the site. It only has one banner ad. But for files, nothing.
I've got unlimited space and bandwidth so it shouldn't be a problem for me either.
Thanks a lot guys for your generous offers 
:)
I really appreciate all the support that you have given to me, but I have some news for you (keep it secret please) A generous and well known member of this community will host all my files in their own server!! I'll tell you more details as I get them, at this moment I'm copying the files to a new location in another server se he will be able to copy them to the new location.
Please give him a big big applause! He is C..... !! :)
Thank you very much indeed C... :)
PS : I'll make public their name only if he's agree 
Great! Im glad your gonna be back up. I wont tell anyone. Big hush hush from me.
thats good news.
