local downloads- a ?

Post by schrizo » Wed Aug 06, 2003 3:21 pm

Is there a way to download videos that are definitely uploaded onto the server, but listed as "NO" under the download category? I ask because there is a video I would like to download that has a NO under downloads, yet the number of hits on it keeps going up. It seems that some people are still able to do it.

Hey,

Can you provide a link to the said video information page?

Sure:

It's actually my video and I would like to be able to download it and tell others how to get it. It's an improved quality version of my first vid. I wish this one was downloadable instead of the original. People keep downloading this new version and I'd like to know how they can.

Thanks

Hey,

Ohhhhh. You're one of those people who didn't read the rules about having only one catalog entry per vid. :? You're punishment has been that the "good" version of your vid is not available until I can come up with a usable "delete vid" tool going.

Your vid has not been downloaded since 2003-07-16 11:29:45. You must be looking at the vid page hits.

If you want to know how many times a local vid has been downloaded, go to 'edit my vids' and scroll down to the listing. Next to the link there should be the number of downloads (the hits is separate).

Hey schrizo,

It's not really a "planned" punishment, but more of an unintended punishment. The storage system as-is is currently like a roach motel: You check in, but you don't check out. Deleting a video is more complicated than it sounds since a video's information is linked to so many other sections at the same time (opinions, stars, downloads, etc). I have to come up with a tool to make deleting easy and complete (having dangling pointers to deleted information is just not good form). Until that tool is created, deleting vids manually is a major pain in the bootay. I will get this thing written soon, as soon as the resume function is working correctly and the automatic link checker is going and so on.

Sorry for the delay...

Phade.

I know it's not a planned punishment. I appreciate all the work you do. I think the vid delete function will be useful once it is up and running.

Thanks for the hard work and taking the time to reply to these forum posts. I love this site.
