Howdy,

I'm brand new, but can tell already that this a great site. Thanks to all of you who organized it and keep it going!

Here's my one problem:

After logging in, I can typically "listen" to three or four mp3s, but after that, clicking on a sound file link gets me this server error message:

Warning: Failed opening 'quota.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/guitartricks.com/mp3_handler.php on line 93

Sometimes, logging out and back in again lets me access additional mp3s, and sometimes not.

Is there a built-in daily quota on how many sound files I can listen to, or am I just doing something stupid?

Thanks,

Matt Jones

Your not doing anything wrong, theres a built in daily limit as it costs for every mp3 downloaded... they worked out the limit to how many they can afford with advertising, then limited the downloads to that.

As far as I know there might be a small monthly/yearly fee you can pay for extra downloads... you might as well just wait until the next day :)

I'm new as well and just found out that there was a download limit... I wasted my daily quota on a bunch of super-crappy mp3's by some stupid jerks who I don't even know how they could claim it to be "lessons"... It sounded more like they needed lessons...

There should be a "mp3-back-guarantee" if one downloads a soundfile put up by a total guitar-crapass... Or even better... the ones putting them up should pay to the site for wasting everybodys time and taking space on the server.

Anyhow... It's supercrappy behaviour by this site to inform about the limit when it's too late. "No, no, no... you have to pay now". FU Guitar Tricks!

noone has to pay for anything. the quota is there to keep the monthly traffic within reasonable limits for the webmaster to be able to pay for the site and for you to be able to download all the stuff for FREE. if you want quality mp3 then go to the instructor section of this site. there you will find them.
its supercrappy behaviour of you to even dare posting here with your supercrappy attitude. first think - then post!

Thanks for your replies.

I finally did get to the page that explains the download quota. Don't know why I only got the server error message the first several times.

The mp3s I got weren't supercrappy, either. And if they had been, I'd have the decency to just appreciate the contributor's effort and keep my obnoxious attitude to myself.

Thanks again,

Matt

Pay? When did you pay to get on this site? Is it possible to get some of that thrown my way?

I think that Frogabuse made a bad joke, he maybe didn't thought of the consequence of doing that.. Maybe give him another chance?? :o

Cmon, he won't do the same misstake again.. Perhaps he has learned something from this: To respect others and show compassion and love to his guitarmates. We all make misstakes sometimes, and that's one of the most important thing in life, otherwise we wouldn't learn something..

Frogabuse: I hope you will overcome your fury and maybe one day I and the rest of the forum-members can look you in the eyes and say: You're a good guy! :D

Ps. I sound ridiculous, hahaha Ds.
