exxosuk Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) http://exxos.www.idnet.com/IMPULSE/atari/last/ All issues of AW and AC are going live over the next week or so. Some pages need rescanning, but rather than waiting more months while pages are checked & rescanned, I have compiled all the issues "as is" for the time being. For the moment I am only allowing AC issues to be downloaded, simply due to if lots of people download the whole lot in one go, its going to slow the server down (which isn't mine). Once I get a idea on traffic/hits I will allow downloaded of more mags as the days go on. Scans are classed as "bugerware" where contributions for my burger fund would be appreciated! Those mags took several months to scan and still much work left to do. I also plan to start scanning STF but this will take probably the best part of a year to complete. Of course it depends on how long my burger fund keeps up meanwhile. The direct link to the page is http://exxos.www.idnet.com/IMPULSE/atari/last/mags/mags.htm,. Feel free to link to that page, but please do not "hot link" direct to the files. Enjoy! Edited March 6, 2014 by exxosuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calimero Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 @exoosuk can you make thumbs of mags cover a little bit larger so you can read topic from cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilaskey Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm getting 404's on all the Atari World ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilaskey Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Scrap that, I can see the scans folder and the pdf files but it's a permissions error when I open them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilaskey Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Enjoying the ACs, never really saw those first time round although lots of familiar names in the contributors. I noticed issue 1's first published letter was from me. Don't remember writing that at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 As it says on the mag page.. Each issue will be going live a few at a time. This is simply to prevent a lot of people downloading the whole lot at once and overwhelming the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilaskey Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah, I saw that but assumed if a thumbnail was there, it was good to go. Will try later and thanks for doing these. Looking forward to Atari World as I was a contributor so it would be interesting to see those again. Especially issue 3 that nearly sank us before we'd got going. I had an uncensored contributor copy but all the ones that made the shops had stickers covering some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I heard on AF that there was "uncut" copies about, though nobody has come forward with the missing pages yet AW will be live when the server load goes down a bit, it has served over 150GB over the past 2 days already.

ilaskey Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I 'donated' my copy along with Jaguar EPROM carts and other unusual bits to some guy in ireland that was supposed to be affiliated to the Curt's Atari Museum. He did run a big Atari web site but it's gone now. Anyway, it wasn't anything particularly bad but probably beyond the pale for a computer mag and WH Smith refused to touch it so all copies got recalled and stickers put on the offending pictures.

Just a thought, why not make them available as torrents? That would take the load off your server pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Problem with torrents is 1) I cant have my PC online 24/7, 2) I can only get 100K upload rate which is way to slow for 100's of GB's uploading 3) I need my internet not to be swamped as I use it a lot. 4) In the past, I have shared torrents, and as soon as people get the stuff, they never share, so my internet gets maxed out 100% of the time and nobody helps to share. Everyone wants, but no "give", oh well. Its not my server anyway, I just kinda use it like any other hosting company... Just trying to keep a low profile and not flag up too many alarms with the host.. I have unlimited space and bandwidth, but I don't wanna push it lol Edited March 6, 2014 by exxosuk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilaskey Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I run a seedbox so I can easily leave them running 24/7 if needed. Shall I set up the ones already posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Someone on AF has uploaded them onto a cloud9 account. http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=26188&p=248955#p248427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
