<p> At present we accept donations through the following methods: </p>
<ol><li>Paypal </li>
<li> Credit / Debit cards</li>

</ol>
<p>Paypal is a fast and secure way to transfer money on the internet. It is supports most countries in the world. All you need to open a Paypal account is a bank account. You do not have to be over 18 to open a Paypal account and it's FREE.

Credit / Debit cards You can donate via Credit or Debit cards. Simply select the ‘Secure Checkout' option when donating. <br>

<h3>How soon will I receive my FTP Server details? <a name="soon"></a> </h3>
<p>Instantly! Provided you pay via Paypal or Credit card. E-checks and donations sent through normal mail take time to clear and reach their destination so there will be a delay. <br>
<font size="2"><a href="#top">-top</a></font></p>
<h3>How fast is the Private Server? <a name="fast"></a> </h3>
<p>Fairly fast. At present 20 Mbit/sec, P4 3.2 GHz machine. I keep a close eye on the bandwidth usage and upgrade it when needed. In other words usually you will be able to download as fast as your ISP allows you to. <br>

<font size="2"><a href="#top">-top</a></font> </p>

<p>The amount of credit you have dictates how much you can download. You get 2GB worth of downloads for every $1 donated. You can upgrade your account at any time. <br>

<h3> Can I request a series to be added to the Private Server ? <a name="request"></a> </h3>

<h3>How can I tell If the server is up or down? <a name="updown"></a></h3>
<p>The Private Server is up 99.8% of the time.

•&nbsp; Something wrong with your account<br>
•&nbsp; The Server is up but the FTP is down. If you see broken images it means the entire server is down. <br>
