Too cool for subject

Yeah, I tried this when I started uploading and I had a load of moans that they couldn't use them, why, I have NO idea but that was why I used straightforward .wmv files - it was what most people could use most easily.

I've stuck the above message up everywhere anyone might see it in hope the people doing it are being clueless not malicious but if it carries on I willtake the age down (because it's become a bit of a pain in other ways tbh).

Thanks anyway. :o)

Really, everyone and their grandmother can unzip a file these days -- it's just because they're too bloody lazy. I always zip things that can be streamed to avoid it, and no one's ever whined about that.

And besides, if they don't listen, the ones who are doing this, you can always blame them for the fact that you'll have to zip the files...

I'm sorry - I've been guilty of this without realizing it. I don't do much downloading of video files, I'm don't get the whole bandwith thing and I really didn't realize it proved a problem. Putting a message up was a good idea.

Again, my apologies.

*pets you*

I came across a bit harshly. I know some people just aren't aware of it. I sometimes just forget that *blushes*

No worries - but it's true that some of us really don't know our asses from our elbows when it comes to online stuff. I can usually follow directions, so posting a message works for me! I really never knew, or even thought about, what happens when a video is streamed. I put most computer knowledge into a little mental file called "need to know," and for the most part, I figure I don't.

Heh, you're definitely not the only one. It's to your own advantage to download as well, if you're on a restricted bandwidth from you internet supplier. Everytime you rewatch a vid, it streams and uses up not only the website's bandwidth, but yours as well. Not all providers have a limit on what you can download/stream/bandwidth, but everything counts if yours does.

Oh gosh, it's fine, I realise the fault is mainly mine for not being clear on the site. I assumed people would know and clearly, a lot don't and... all my fault. It does finally explain the emails I've been getting about my 'faulty' files. :o) Situation dealt with and hopefully rectified. Big red tick. *g*

you'll have to zip the files...

And there lies the rub. I'd have to re-upload every damn thing on there (and that's a lot of stuff). I'm just too damn busy and way too idle to even contemplate such a thing. *g*
