Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm shutting down EVE-Files. We have been pushing the resources too far and the only option is to shut it down.
But before you go scream nooo you son of a biach! It's your own fault, going from movies in the size of like 50MB over a year ago now your movies are 500MB, so blame yourself!
So you just have to do something else, coz there is no way I can keep it online - after all the servers need to be shut down in order to add more hardware. 
You thought I would shut it down permanently? Right... sucker! 
The part about we've been pushing the resources too far is indeed true, at the point of this post there is aprox 8GB free diskspace for your files, hopefully those 8GB will hold the night since more disk will be added tomorrow.
Upgrade list:
* More disk
* New heatsink for the CPU
* Additional heatsinks for the drives
* New UPS
* OS upgrades/patches (in mind I haven't rebooted the thing since May 27th)
* General maintenance
I was supposed to do the upgrade on the 24th (X-Mas here in Sweden) but my girlfriend told me off  so I have to do it tomorrow instead.
There will be another maintenance session at a later point as well since I did not receive all expected parts today, so I am still waiting for some things to arrive but I have enough to perform the first phase anyway.

Good luck with the upgrades mate, but you should enjoy X-mas with family and friends. I'm sure the community will survive if you shut uploads for a while.

While donations are nice (real or in-game) I think that CCP have more important things to do than to push for my services (you all seem to find your ways there by yourself  ). But of course I wouldn't say no to CCP's support or gifts.
But as I said before, I don't do this in hope to get anything in return, I just provide a service that is not available but which is needed. My work is done when CCP implement their own hosting linked to a pilots account directly.

Noone can quit EVE, and with that in mind I doubt there would be a lambo, I would most likely push that money into even more hardware and faster connections...

The cause for this is not yet known, but we do have a possible fix in testing.

Everyone uploading a file on Eve-Files should also do a gift of 1m isk / mb of the file, so a 500mb movie should bring a gift of 500m isk!
Chribba, i'm sure you would become pretty rich in eve then if you aren't already

Chribba seriously, just add the option of a vouluntary $1 per months subscription... I reckon you'll get loads of people signing up! I certainly would
Um... if I used the site. I don't actually use it any more, but it's no less awesome. Knowing the maturity and overall cooless of the eve community I stand by my initial prediction of subscriber numbers.

Good luck with the upgrade. Don't forget to hand your stockings on the servers when you are done.

Aww.... 
If i could come with a sugestion: turn it to a torrent site, so ppl can get hosted dribbles of downloads of the files, but, say, needing to host their own super large 1gb movies.

Have had that on my mind but I don't like the idea of deleting EVE material no matter how hold or un-accessed it is, EVE-Files is keeping history - and that's how I will try to keep it

Tried it, torrent wasn't that useful, plus it is nice for everyone to have one place where a lot of things is stored. But yes I've had thoughts of using torrent for the larger files, I might be forced in the future but until then I will do my best to keep it like it is or make it better.

Sounds like a great site. I'll have to check it out. I wish I could figure out how to set up a server. It seems so easy but I could never get it to work. What size hard drive will you be using for storage?
