    Default Help EP Get a new server

    Hi,
    Over the past few months, EP has been recieving more and more visitors per day. Currently we get around 200,000 hits per day to the website. However, to serve the downloads, we have a menial 20Mbps server. Not enough to serve everyone. Infact, the download speeds are capped at 10kb/s per user and each user can have only one download going at a time. Sometimes, I agree, this can be a pain in the ass. In view of this, I've decided to upgrade our servers to either a 50Mbps line, or a 100Mbps line. However, these two are extremely expensive propositions. A 50Mbps server would cost around $800/month and a 100Mbps server will cost us about $1500/month. Honestly, we don't have that kind of money, so I'm asking you to help.

    The good folks at <a href="http://www.clickbooth.com">ClickBooth</a> have provided us with an opportunity to partner with Real Arcade (from the well known Real Networks). All you have to do is <b>look for a game you fancy below, head to the download page (there is no signup process, no personal details involved..), download it, and play the game to your hearts content.</b> (and after that maybe check out some more cool stuff from Real Networks). This is more than enough to guarantee you access to our high speed server which I shall be acquiring in a few days from now.<br>Things have never been this good, play some games help EP maintain their high speed server!

    So what're you waiting for ? Ensure your high speed download access right away, presenting to you our offers:
    (Users from any country/region can download and enjoy these excellent games!)

    I'm looking forward to expanding EP with more high quality content but at the moment we cannot add much new stuff due to our server running at full bandwidth capacity. Your support for EP is highly appreciated, and I want to personally thank you for your continued patronage.

    We won't get money if you sign up from Europe. But yes, a search on askjeeves does get us �0.015. It's kind of low however, we're not allowed to incentivize (so to speak) the askjeeves offer, that is, we can't ask people to search on it so that we get money, explicitly. Don't want to be breaking any rules .

    Looks pretty good. We've made $40 on the first day itself. That's not a bad start IMO : ). If we continue making $40 everyday from now on we could go in for the 50Mbps server, however, we'll need more signups per day to get the 100Mbps one. Oh, and by the way with our current load schema, on a 50Mbps server, we'd be able to provide each downloader with atleast 25kb/s download speed instead of the current 10Kb/s, obviously, on a 100Mbps server it'd be double of that .

    Just a question... I'm from South America... will it do any good if I used that searching service (for the good of the site, i mean)?

    Something you should note if you sign up for one of the offers.
    You should set up "feeder" email accounts to recieve the spam that tends to come with these offers.


    Myself, if they offer a Nintendo Revolution, I'd probably sign up for one of those sponsoring deals, but as always, use fake email accounts to handle spam...

    If you handle them right, you can cut the strings from the dodgy free stuff deals.

    No you don't have to complete the offer for us to get money. Just the first part where you put in your email address/contact info.

    I was going to do one but they appear as white squares to me with no link.... and maybe you could give site incentives like slightly faster downloads for those who do so many of those things a month..

    We don't have any resources to offer faster downloads unfortunately so that gets a little difficult. The whole idea is to actually be able to get a better server y'know : ).

    Yes ofcourse, we'll offer faster downloads for users who sign up since we'll need to keep paying for the server, that is once we get the new server ofcourse.
    Here are the links for signing up:

    Win Free Plasma TV: http://track.adrevolver.com/service.php/5620/871/0
    Win Free Laptop: http://track.adrevolver.com/service.php/5608/871/0
    Free Ipod: http://track.adrevolver.com/service.php/5235/871/0
    Free Xbox 360: http://track.adrevolver.com/service.php/5030/871/0
    Free PS3: http://track.adrevolver.com/service.php/5163/871/0
    Free PSP/DS: http://track.adrevolver.com/service.php/4149/871/0

    It'd help if people sign up for more than one offer since our current sign up rate is going lower everyday. Made just $20 yesterday : (.
