Yeah, I think his biggest donation was one of AWS/S3 bandwidth. Much appreciated, thanks, Lim, I hope this gets you many new subscribers.

He put some of them up on aws, probably more on the way. I was able to download 1,4,5,7,10,13, and 18. Just replace the "004" at the end with "001", or "010", etc. http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... Or in terminal just enter: wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think the takeaway here is that if you're going to promote something on HN, put your downloadable content on AWS or some similar CDN first. When there are nerds involved, expect heavy turnout. Yowza.

Also, we're cheap. Really hope this works out in his favor and nets a few more signups. I'm interested to see the quality myself, as I've managed to hold off viewing or sampling any of these to date.

Seems like perfect work fodder for me - If I manage to remember in the morning I'll be looking to sign up.

Everything is on S3 now (but thanks anyway).

I'm surprised to discover Hacker Monthly still exists, after the iPad app simply stopped serving up new issues 7 months ago. What's that about?

Was having some problem on AppStore in-app purchase submission (before Newsstand). Update to the app (along with new issues) coming soon.

Or upload to s3 and send out torrent links to it to save bandwidth costs.

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!

I am getting all zips corrupted :(

Try downloading 'em again. Should be fine now.
