I swear this crap always happens to me in a deadline.

Anyone having issues with Ranch?  The merchant has a bad address thus PayPal wont let me submit my project.  HUGE thumbs down to only paypal as an option.

No problems for me - they did have an e-mail problem last week, but that was taken care of (at least for me).  Send Fred an e-mail at their support address. 

With the reduced prices this month, it's a really great deal.  Yes, my little 3 cow farm could have been used (somewhere around a 17 to 24 hour render)...  But getting my file back in an hour for under $15 was too nice to pass! 

Don't forget - Ranch also has a subscription.  If you use it a lot, that's the way to go...

I would have liked to, but it wouldn't let me pay the submission price to even upload my file.  It's a great deal by pricing...I just seem to need it when something is wrong.

Oh well, I'll try again next time.  Hopefully my luck goes better next time.

Hi everyone,

the RANCH is working fine, Ryan perhaps you sent something precisely when we were switching our internet connection (pretty low probability, but bad luck can't be reduced to probabilities :).

Anyway we now have an incredible 100 Mbits/s symmetrical internet bandwidth, having upgraded to an FTTH direct Fiber Optics connection. It means every user can now download his/her files at his/her maximum download speed! Very useful when dealing with hundreds of megabytes of animation frames...

And just a reminder : the 'Hobbyist Month' at $9.00 per hour is valid until May 31st, so don't miss it!
