Did he really insult you with telling the list members that he had this or that stuff on his server, albeit a bit too frequently :))? Did he ever refuse to give the log/pass details to anyone afterwards? Did he make you visit his FTP against your will? Did he set up the FTP to steal your credit card numbers? Did he let in only the people who gave him something in return? Was it his regular job to organize files according to everyone's desire? Did anyone of you set up an FTP with high bandwidth and loads of rare Orb stuff (excuse me if you did - I cannot recall if I saw any other FTP mentioned on this list for years) for everyone to enjoy it? For me, RMStringer's FTP worked fine. Sometimes I could not log in, sometimes the speed was too slow - so what? RMStringer didn't owe me anything to meet my demands. Yes, there's soulseek for people with fat bandwidth, but for poor sods like me who live in Russian outlands with a crappy dial-up connection, his FTP was the only source of rare Orb and KLF stuff that I would have never found anywhere else. So, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Mr. RMStringer for the job he's been doing for years, for us, for nothing. It would be a great pity if the server goes down forever. Peace to everyone. Mikhail (going back into the deep lurking mode)

It's been almost 5 years and you're still ranting and raving about your shitty FTP? Christ, is this the 12th or 13th time you've made this announcement? One could only hope it's actually, seriously going

down, but no. Not a chance.

Don't worry folks, the RMStringer FTP will be back up soon enough. For those that couldn't get enough of the broken downloads, unorganized files, and crappy bandwidth; never fear. Roaches and the Stringer FTP - they'll outlive us all.

What people don't understand saying they got in once and never again,

is that their ISP might block port 21 or their router is not set up properly or some BS like that. For the few that "never got in" I tried to help them and figure it out. Most got in and were able to use it for many years. 5 years it has been up in one form or another. I just think that it is time for a break. I might get it back up and running after we find out

where we are gonna be living. Don't know. It takes a lot of time, not to mention hardware, to keep files there and trouble shooting for people that ask can you help me figure out port 21 and what is passive

mode for the 1400th time. For the people that use it and appreciate it, Thankx and for those that don't. Thankx as well. RMStringer
