2 Million downloads
General discussionWell tonight we passed over the 2.000.000 mp3 downloads since launch. as the average mp3 size is 6mb thats an estimated 12TeraBytes of data. Sure, it's not as much as youtube or other websites ...
but i don't think any of those have what we have here.
It took us 4years to reach that number, but i'm sure the 3rd million will be hit in a year !!
I'd like to thank all the artists and members who believe in electrobel and have helped in someway or another to make what it is today.
Anyway, here's some news:
I'm working quite hard on the new electrobelV3, which is a complete re-write of the website. I hope to have it completed for electrobel's 5th anniversary, on 7th march 2008. I've been working on it since beginning of this year, so as you can see, it's not an easy task. This time i'm helped by my good friend s-cape, and hopefully some others will come in and give me hand with the different aspects (especially looking for someone to re-write the flash player and make it better based on my latest source-code).
On another note, some of you will have noticed the "Server Upgrade Donation" link in the top banner. I haven't had a chance to mention this before, so i'll take the opportunity now to talk about it. Basically, the server is getting close to being maxed out. (harddisk space and ram). As you know, hardware isn't cheap, so i've setup a donation center, where you can donate as much as you wish. The donation is managed by paypal, meaning you can use a paypal account or a creditcard. Once donated, your name will appear automatically on the website, and the total updated. I've decided to put the donation center, after receiving feedback from a couple of visitors saying they'd like to give a little something, but weren't necessarily interested by a teeshirt.
Dark Contest Compilations are starting to sell, don't hesitate to promote it anyway you can. You can put the following code in your myspace/website etc...

wow.. Impressive... 2.000.000 downloads :) Is that for all the electrobel sites? (All hosted on the same server?) Good thinking about those donations! I'll contribute, one of the following days... Do I get a fiscal attest for tax deduction? :) Hope this story may continue for a long while... Thanks Zark & Thanks Electrobel!
indeed...if I would have to pay each month for Ebel I think I would. This site brings so much richness.Richness that you couldnt/cant get with money.
So...ultra super big thanks and respect to ZARK. (anyone knows if paypal is 100% reliable?)
only for the belgian portal. :)
sorry for the paypal only, it's the cheapest solution to put up :) otherwise you need to work with guys like ogone, and they take 30euro's a month :) Or allopass that only give you 45% of the money ...
