Hey @RubenKelevra, I've shut down my hosting of the service because of the high-cost of storing and hosting so many terabytes of data, especially on IPFS which is how I had it set up.
I'd be interested in getting it back up and running if there is enough interest in the project!

Also I'm so sorry for the long delay! I plan to be more on top of notifications in the future

Hey @smwa!
Sad to hear that there's a high cost attached for you.
Wondering if this would fix it in the future, to spread the space requirements over a cluster of nodes :)

It would, especially if I can find enough interested members to either run a node in the cluster or pay for part of the cost.
I estimate a minimum of $70 USD per month for low traffic(electricity, boosted bandwidth, and hard drives). That is totally worth it if there is 5 or 10 people enjoying the audiobooks!
In retrospect, I should have left the website running with only a handful of books as a demonstration. I might try to spin it back up in the following week.

Hi SMWA,
I have a copy of the website back on line now on a slow connection. At one point, I had a server in a datacenter running it, but IPFS does not seem to work very well. The media would always timeout unless you can get the media cached on the gateway. Even on a gigabit connected dedicated box. Seems like the DHT lookups don't happen fast enough(or at all) and then the website media handler times out and tries to play the next audio file in the playlist.
I turned the dedicated box off because I was watching the bandwidth from the box and no one was using it.
I really like this project, it is a very cool idea....I am just not sure that IPFS is ready for it yet.

I'm glad you got it started up @him2him2! I noticed issues with that, I was hoping it was my less than ideal setup but I'm not surprised it's because of the IPFS network. I think you're right about IPFS not being ready for it. I believe when I spin it back up I'll go through and remove any dependency on it, unless someone else gets a chance to go through the code before me.

I've removed references to IPFS and put up a demo site with only 3 books at https://wistfulbooks.com/
from wistfulbooks.
I posted a small collection of books to the Ethereum swarm network to test how well it would work.
Here is the swarm gateway address:

IPFS is definitively ready for prime time. Please open a bug report if you experience any issues: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/new/choose
