I'm not sure uploading it another place would be a good idea. I guess the guys at ASS want to know how many downloads they had for each issue.

I printed my issue yet.

Hi, sorry for the problem, seems our host and server have decided to annoy us today - we'll be back in roughly 100 minutes (10:30am) at the LATEST - we're on the phone now and explaining the facts of life to them so it may be sooner - or, then again, if they annoy me any further, it may be never - sorry for the PITA, and thanks for posting rasfigjohn (don't forget to comment on his ARCA review as well when you do eventually - I hope - download the new issue).

Oh, and rasfigjohn is right - we like to keep the stats for our 2 advertisers - yes, that's two :cry:

Thanks for the interest guys, and have some patience - also, last month we ran part 1 of the interview with iRacing, so if you missed that, just check out back issues - and we also had Steve Smith's re-edited gpl manual last month in the zip ...

I got the same message and am waiting to begin the download.

This is a very fine online magazine that I have happily read for the last several years. Noobs might well enjoy reading back issues too.

Nice to see some good comments about Autosimsport here on Nogrip, you guys deserve a big audience.

I'd say the back ASS issues are a must read for any noob wanting to understand what sim-racins is about.

Thank you - I sent Lou that url, looks promising - netfirms - really - they give no indication of their limit when signing - just some arbitrary warning about not exceeding limits - and then, one fine day, they decide 4000 cycles is too much and bling - there goes your business to hell!!!!!

I think they misprinted their names too - should be netfins, like the fins on sharks and other predatory creatures ...

The only way to sort it out is... oh... I can hear the voice of my grandma and the sweet smell of the fried chicken!
Don't worry... everything will be allright from now on.... and this Lucy girl is in dire straits...

Nice try!
Although this picture taken on my island tends to prove the contrary:

you prolly read the same tech mags I do ( CSO, DoD Security Briefs, Network Security and Design... )
going to Defcon?

btw, i dont know about now, but in the past you could get netfirms to kill a "free" site by loading up your favorite proxy scanner, and use the users homepage as the "success" test. Few thousand hits and "sorry this site has exceeded it bandwidth foobar"

fun stuff
