| Breif question, when will these subs be completed |
I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but if you're asking when all of the video clips will be uploaded and avaiable, there is no definitive answer to that. As I've stated previously, how quickly the files are made available will depend primarily on the bandwidth usage.
Putting up a few files at a time allows people to download those files, without putting a strain on the server limits. If I were to place all 700 clips up at once, and 200 people all decided to grab them immdediately, replaying them from the server multiple times, the flood of activity could shut down the site. Adding the files over time is a much more practical method.
So, I'm monitoring the bandwidth usage on a daily basis, and as long as such a flood doesn't occur, I will continue to upload more, until completed. Also, please understand that it takes from 30 to 45 minutes to do all the HTML work for a single page of 15 clips; not to mention the time it takes to then upload those clips to the server (the upload rate for this host is about 1/4 the speed of the download rate). This includes verifying the URL links, file sizes, clip duration and video resolution for each of the clips, as well as typing out the information into the page. The 2-3 minutes it takes per clip can add up quickly, and this is by far, not the only project I am currently spending my RL time working on.
So again, there's no way for me to give any kind of precise time-frame for when this will be completed, but the clips will continue to be added on a regular basis.
Thanks for the inquiry. I hope this answered your question.
