FTP Access for Donations in OCTOBER 2021 (Now ended)
« on: October 02, 2021, 03:39:37 PM »
THE FTP OFFER IS NOW OVER FOR 2020.  OUR MANY, MANY THANKS TO ALL YOU DONORS OUT THERE HELPING DURING THIS OFFERING.

https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/images/DCM banner35-FTP-offering.gif

For this month of October 2021 every user who donates will be given FTP Access as an alternate method to download files from the 21700+ Digital Comic Museum collection.
For each dollar donated donors will receive 5 gigs of file downloads over the next 31 days from the day the donation was made.


Digital Comic Museum is free for all users and we aim to remain so.
If you find our site useful, entertaining, etc please consider making a donation to help us keep the site alive and free for all to enjoy.

All donations go back into the website to pay our server bills, bandwidth and future expansion.  Our current monthly goal is $170.  A donation of any amount is sincerely appreciated.

If you donate we will credit your account with VIP status which will give you unlimited access to the website.

To all our donors - thanks very much!
-DCM staff

++++++++

Here are the specifics -
For every donation you will be given access to the FTP from the donation date. Due to costs, bandwidth etc download limits will be put in place.

For every $1 donated during OCTOBER you will be given a download limit of 5 GB for the following 31 days.

ALL donors, no matter when they made their donation, will have until November 30th - 23:59 to complete their downloads!


So lets get on to some examples....
* Bob donates $1 to DCM and for the next 31 days is allowed to download 5GB in total.
* Jane donates $10 to DCM and for the next 31 days is allowed to download 50GB in total
* Barry donates $1 and then $5 at a later date. Barry is given a 5GB limit for 31 days. When he donates again for $5 his 31 day timer is reset back to 31 days and an extra 25GB is added to his current download count.


How to get set-up:
1. Once you have donated to the site you will receive an e-mail with the FTP details, username and password. This e-mail will arrive within 5 to 10 minutes of sending the donation.
Note: At the moment this is a manual process so please allow 24 hours for this e-mail, thou hoping to get most turned around in 1 - 2 hours and this will be automated once everything been tested and we are sure it fully works.
2. Read the e-mail as this contains all the important information you will require.
3. Enter these details into your FTP client and start downloading the files.


Rules / Information / Terms:
* Your donation to DCM is a donation to the site, it is not a payment for FTP access. FTP access is given as a gift to you for helping us out.
* Do not share your account details with anyone else.
* Do not be naughty or abuse the system.
* You must enjoy the comics that come from the FTP.
* This service is provided by Captain DJ and not Digital Comic Museum, any hate or problems please let him know.
* There is a user limit on the server currently so please think of others and don't stay logged in 24 / 7
* Once you use up your download limit you will no longer be able to connect to site via ftp.
* Anyone found to be breaking these rules will have their access revoked.
* If you do have any issues please e-mail us at: admins@digitalcomicmuseum.com

Frequent Questions

What is FTP?
FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. As the name suggests, FTP is used to transfer files between computers.
With this method of downloading you can queue up MULTIPLE files for downloading from DCM.  You can queue them up and let the application download them to your machine for future reading.

How do I use a FTP Client?
I did consider writing my own guide but instead I am going to be lazy and ask you to take a look at the Filezilla tutorial at: https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Documentation
Filezilla is a free open source FTP client.

How do I donate to the site?
Use this link - http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php?action=treasury

Are all comic files on the FTP server?
Yes all files are on the server (or will be, once a day the FTP will sync up with the website so don't expect newly uploaded files to the website to appear instantly on the FTP.)

Help! I need help?
If you are having any problems please let us know please e-mail us at: admins@digitalcomicmuseum.com

Mac Users FTP app
We are suggesting you try using the CyberDuck app if you are on a Mac computer.

To download CyberDuck: https://cyberduck.io/?l=en
Once downloaded and installed please follow the following guide on how to set up and start downloading Comic Books.
