Goal & Overview
Our goal with this project is to make
quality 3ABN produced programming available for download by anyone around the
world for the express purpose of sharing the gospel.

About
We record about 10 programs a day on
average with the majority of these being 3ABN produced. The videos
available here are from our custom 3ABN satellite recording system. It's
similar to a PVR but much more complicated. When the files are named,
logged, quality checked, recompressed, and audio normalized we allow them to
pool up prior to archiving them. Once the videos reach this folder they
are now available online until they are archived off the system.
-How to Connect
Sharing Statement
The videos currently shared here are
part of our custom 3ABN satellite recording system. These videos are
all 3ABN productions and are legal for not-for-profit sharing according to the
3ABN terms of use. They are shared here as part of our ministry. We
are not affiliated in any way with 3ABN.

Video Updates
The videos that are available here
will change from time to time as our system processes them through and archives
them. Check back periodically for new content. The videos go through
a process before they arrive in this location. This means that it can take
from several days to several weeks after a video is recorded before it will show
up here. -How to Connect
Video Format & Quality
All videos are recorded in the DivX format. Visit
www.divx.com for the latest version of this free decoder/player.
Video dimensions are 592x448 with a video bit rate of either 800k or 2000k
depending on what we are recording. Audio is all 192kb at 48khz. Our
recording system is actually quite complicated and we have designed many custom
software "robots" to help in file management, file naming and batch audio
normalizing. File sizes average from 500mb to 1Gb.

Support & Planned Expansion
Currently it takes over $1,000 a year
to provide electricity to the systems and computers, monthly internet connection
fees, and web hosting for this project. This does not include any kind of
labor or hardware/connection upgrades, etc. Because of this we greatly
appreciate your support.
This project is currently hosted on a
file server from our home/office that shares bandwidth with our ministry
connection. This means there is very limited bandwidth available. We
would like to increase the bandwidth and connections available by installing a
second dedicated high speed internet connection. This is an area that we
need your support in.
Our library contains several thousand
hours of 3ABN programming. We have been recording since 2002 in various
capacities and are more than willing to share it all online if there is enough
regular support. It will take quite a few very large hard drives to house
all the programming we have archived. It will also take several large
servers to house it all. We custom build our own servers and workstations
so it can be done for fairly reasonable costs. Your support could make
this project expand into a gift to everyone around the world. If enough
support develops for this project we can make several thousand hours of 3ABN
produced video available that we have archived.

How to Connect
There are two ways to connect to
our file server. You can use your browser or an FTP client program such as Filezilla or
CuteFTP, etc. We highly recommend using a download manager with your
browser or an FTP client program because they will allow you to reconnect and resume your
download should you lose your connection. Please remember this is a home
based server and active workstation and we do have to take it down from time to
time.
- HTTP - Click here to connect
directly to the server through your browser. (If connecting only through
your browser you will not be able to
resume your download should you lose your connection so please consider
using Free Download Manager with your browser if you connect in this way.)
- Visit
www.freedownloadmanager.org for an excellent free download
manager. Free Download Manager works with both Internet Explorer and
Mozilla Firefox to help you download files. Once FDM is installed
simply visit the HTTP site again in your browser and FDM will download the
files for you and allow you to resume.
-
FTP - Visit
http://filezilla-project.org/ for an excellent free FTP client program.
Then use it to login. (This will allow you to resume your downloads.)
