Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubunu Screencasts
Hiyas leszek, hopefully by the end of January I will have the ubuntu server installed on my friends dedicated server. If traffic on blip.tv is an issue, then I will transfer them over to the new server. I'm also sure that I have video conversion program on piglet if flv is causing people problems. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubunu Screencasts
Hi Phil, would be great if you could host the videos on your server and if we could embed them somehow in the lubuntu site. Unfortunately the videos are currently with car advertisements when I view them. I already had some discussions with Leszek about this as blip also offers adsfree videos. It might be a solution if you host the videos, so we can offer adfree videos. I am not totally against advertising, if it is for a dedicated purpose. Particularly though, I find forced advertising before a video pretty annoying. Just reminds me of boring TV times.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubunu Screencasts
As my current temporary host provider also allows me to host the lubuntu iso's for downloading if the torrents have no seeders, I see no reason that I could not transfer them over. I'm still classed as 'low' on my usage on there. Regards Phill.
