I think they have a sweet problem of being waaay to popular. And everybody likes free stuff.

I meant to say they should use nginx, but apparently they are already using it, I guess that is why our connections are not getting dropped.

Anyway, nice gesture, thank you HN!

Maybe there's a way to put the archive in a file locker (like Megaupload) and delete it after 24 hours.. It's pointless to make the files free if /everybody/ tries to download them but /nobody/ actually gets to read the zine because the files time out..

On a mac (without wget) paste this into the terminal and it'll open up every download in a tab in your default web browser. open http://hackermonthly.com/hackermonthly-startupstories.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/hackermonthly-thedebate.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue019.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue018.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthl…

Macs have curl, which can easily fill in for wget.

Or you could just not be a dick and download one issue at time or just the issues that interest you to save some bandwidth for the rest of us.
