Hey Everybody,

I have made a decision about the site going forward. I thought about it long and hard and decided that I will be doing away with MP3 and 24-bit files. The happy medium is to keep the 16-bit FLAC format because it is still lossless CD quality and can be easily converted to MP3 without taking up to much space on hostgator’s shared server. I know that this will not be popular for some but I had to do what I thought was best to keep the site open. I will also be uploading my files to a third-party host like Mega. The drawback is that there is a monthly fee of $33 for a registered account with 8TB of storage and 16 TB of transfer rate. If the 16TB of transfer is used up due to excessive downloads they will halt downloads and make you wait two weeks until more transfer rate is available. All files will still be password protected and it is up to you to read the FAQ for that information.

With this said I will have to rely more frequently on your donations to help cover the cost in addition to site hosting fees, site security fees, and equipment maintenance.

I will be working in the coming days to get all of this put in place and continue posting.

Thank you so much for your understanding, support and patience.

Hi guys,

I have once again been contacted by my hosting service Hostgator. This time the issue is sharing files on their servers and using too much of their disk space. I have been using Hostgator since 2012 and they have never mentioned a breach of my service agreement with them. The only solution(s) is to remove all of the downloads that are currently available on the site and start using third-party file-sharing services like We Transfer etc. which would mean none of the old files would be available any longer. The other solution is to move to another hosting service or close the site altogether. I will be looking into my options and keep you informed as best I can. Remember you can always follow BTg on Facebook for updates as well.

Regards, Paul
