X-Kilt: Sew Your Own, manual available for download

[Big Dave]

Argggg, The site "has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit", I guess I'll have to wait .

[switchblade5984]

yep same here!

I tried it tonight and got:

"Sorry, this GeoCities site is currently unavailable.
The GeoCities web site you were trying to view has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit. Please try again later."

[Alan H]

I just tried it, and it worked for me....
I went and visited the site manager window and this is what it said...

**********************

The X-Kilt pdf file is about 1.3 megabytes. I have some music files up at Geocities as well, and they are between 1.3 - 1.8 megabytes. So if someone listens to one of those music files, browses my site and downloads the X-Kilt pdf, that will stop traffic from my site for an hour.

If all they do is download the pdf, the site can dish it up 3x in an hour. User #4 will get the "site volume temporarily exceedeed" message.

I'm entirely happy to hand the thing over to the Moderators and have X-Marks host it, if they want to. I'd move it to my other web site at my ISP, but I'm likely to close that account soon, as I don't use it very much.

I have it loud and clear, Alan, and I am currently printing it off.

Now, if you'd only be so kind as to write instructions, as explicit as these (well, they must be for so many of you to have made such a success of it), for my sewing machine, I might just be tempted to have a go during the long winter evenings ahead. As things are ........

I just downloaded it from Rays site, and it's smokin' fast...much faster than Geocities and there aren't any bandwidth limitations!

Yes, Alan H., it's a fast server, for sure! It does have a monthly bandwidth limit of 250GB(!).

For anyone that's looking for a server, try Omnis Web Hosting.

http://www.omnis.com

I have nothing but praise for their service. Cheap, too at $6.95 per month for 15GB of disk space and 250GB per month xfer.

Download away!!

Thanks Alan,
I have made 5 Kilts so far, but nothing this easy. I am going this weekend to find some fabric to make one by the New Year. Will let you know how it comes out! Thanks again
