What kind of shows are available?
|
There's
everything from light-hearted comedy
shows through to spine tingling thrillers,
quiz shows, variety and sport. No matter
what your taste in raido shows I'm sure
you'll find something of interest to
you.
|
|
|
|
|
How
many shows are available?
|
There
are currently over 30,000 old time radio
shows available on the OTR FTP Server
and this is growing all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
After
purchasing some credits how long do
I have to wait before I can log onto
the system and start using them?
|
Once your payment has been accepted (which
takes less than a minute) you will have immediate
access to the OTR FTP Server.
|
|
|
|
|
What do I need to download and listen
to these shows?
|
All
you need is a computer and some FTP
software. If you don't have any FTP
software see the question below.
|
|
|
|
|
What exactly is FTP?
|
FTP
stands for File Transfer Protocol. It
is a way of logging onto another computer
and copying files directly from that
computer to your own machine. To use
FTP you will need some FTP software.
You can use any FTP software you like.
|
|
|
|
|
I
don't have any FTP software. Where can
I get this kind of software?
|
If
you don't have any ftp software you
can download either a completely free
one or a shareware version from SofoTex.
There are dozens to choose from. My
personal favorite is BulletProofFTP.
Please note: If using BulletProof, you may find that it defaults to port 80. This should be changed to 21.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not a computer expert. Will I be
okay with this FTP thing?
|
If
you are completely new to computers
you might find FTP a little difficult,
but if you know how to copy files from
one folder to another on your own machine
then this is only a small step further.
|
|
|
|
|
Is there a limit as to how much I can
download each day?
|
There
are absolutely no restrictions at all.
If you have sufficient credits in your
account you can download whenever you
like and for as long as you like.
|
|
|
|
|
Can I access the OTR-FTP-Server at
home and at work?
|
Yes!
You can access from home or work, or
anywhere else for that matter, using
your usually username and password.
You could even log on at both places
at the same time if you so wished.
|
|
|
|
|
Can I give out my username and password
to my friends?
|
Yes!
Feel free to give your username and
password out to whoever you like. Whatever
they use will just be deducted from
your credits in the normal way.
|
|
|
|
|
What happens when I run out of credits?
|
All
that happens when your credits run out
is that you will no longer be able to
download anything. All you need to do
is go to:
http://www.otrftpserver.com/AddCredits.aspx
to
top up your credits. You can do that
whenever you like - even if you still
have credits remaining.
|
|
|
|
|
If I don't use my account for a while
will my credits disappear?
|
Your
credits will remain on your account
for up to six months without you using
the service, but as long as you log
in every now and again (no less than
once every six months) your credits
will remain indefinitely.
|
|
|
|
|
What happens if I need some support?
|
If
you need help feel free to send me an
e-mail. My e-mail address is seth@otrftpserver.com.
|
|
|
|
|
Can I burn these shows to CDRs or audio
CDs?
|
Yes!
You can burn the shows to CD as either
MP3 files or as audio if your software
has that capability.
|
|
|
|
|
Can I use my 56k modem or do I need
broadband?
|
You
can use any kind of connection to the
Internet. Obviously, the higher speed
your connection is the faster the shows
will download. On a broadband connection
you should be able to download a show
in just a few minutes whereas on a 56k
modem it will probably take between
20 and 30 minutes per show.
|
|
|
|
|
How do I get more credits?
|
When
you run out of credits you can top up
your account by going to:
http://www.otrftpserver.com/AddCredits.aspx
