Hi there,
DivShare is switching to a new download system for bandwidth reasons. Currently the download links at DivShare are posting unavailable and at the monthly limit allowance.
I am not entirely sure that I passed their 50 gigabyte monthy limit since January 16th. I think there has been a calculation error in the new system being it just started and has miscalculated the first month amounts.
I shot them an email. I hope to hear back and will report back as soon as possible. I am sorry but alternate links aren't possible. Hang in there.
Cheers,
Anton

Thanks for the kind update, Anton and also a huge thanks for providing Apollo to all of us starving artists! lol'
I was caught in the fallout by the DivShare server this morning. Conniekat had directed me to your site last night and I was anxiously downloading (on a slow dialup) when I got knocked off....twice. When I tried to resume the file for the third time, a message popped up that bandwidth had been exceeded and to try back later. I thought I'd wait until after Feb 1st and then try again, but I'll be watching this thread for an earlier time.
A Million thanks. You are our HERO!!

They have a maintenance blog to update on their server situation:[

Haven't heard back yet. I did just send out a newsletter to over 5000 people so perhaps I did go over.
I do really like DicShare. It is nice and easy. I appreciate offers though. Let's see what happens.Anyway.
I'll keep you posted.

**Thank you very much for keeping us up to date, Anton. I can hardly wait to begin posing Apollo. I've read from many members about how fantastic and unique he is and I'm anxious to try him out.
Thanks again,
Robin**

Thanks. No problem.
I got a brief email back..........
*Hi Anton,
Thanks for being a part of DivShare, and sorry for the delay in response. Our system indicates that your files have received hundreds of thousands of downloads with several files in the 20-30 MB range that have received upwards of 30,000 downloads. If you believe your files have gotten substantially fewer downloads please let us know and we'll investigate the matter further. All the best,
Dave

I do think the first month might have been calculated all the way back to the first date of upload. I shot them another email and hope to hear back soon.
Regards,
Anton

Hi there,
I received a response back that while they investigate into whether the amount of bandwisth was accidently calculated back to the original upload date, they have reset the allotment for the month.
Downloads should now be available from Apollo's page.
