Thank you for posting this.  I try to keep my collection of  OTRR (and the older CSG) collections up to date and make them available on a couple DC++ hubs I belong to (as a secondary source).  4 of these I didn't have.

Philip -- are the hubs still "a thing"? When I got back into the hobby 2005ish they were very active and I met OTRR folks who changed by OTR life for the better (Ben Kibler, RIP, we miss you). Back when there was little broadband and the cloud was something you looked to decide if you needed an umbrella, they were great resources for me as I started my Suspense project. They were my favorite way of getting the new OTRR sets.
What's the status of the OTRR hub and some of the others from a participation perspective?

The hubs are still going and fairly active. I am on 4. Three are OTR and one is for audiobooks. The main OTR hub is Phil’s Place. Besides OTR the content has expanded to movies, and Audiobooks. I think the OTRR hub is down. I cannot log into it anymore. This is where we use to store our Certified series.

 

On the Whistler, I am working on “Lady in Waiting” and “Lats Curtain Call”. If I can find time, I will try to do more.

 

I too miss Ben and think of him frequently. Ben helped me gather the all the radio logs for my website. This project took several months in which we conferenced daily while working on it. We did logs together and compiled and sorted Harry Nile. We would video chat when I travelled. His travels was limited to his yearly trips to Fla. Ben was a constant companion.

I was looking at the links on Phil's web page Trojan or whatever that takes over your computer, so be careful.

Well, that's strange, I just checked it and Norton says it's clean.  That web site has been up and totally unmodified since about 2007 and I check it fairly regularly.  Now, I have Norton 360 running here and it's never alerted when I got to my own site (but on a couple occasions has alerted on other sites so that it never let me open them.  Since I've NEVER uploaded anything different to my own web site since around 2007, nor is there any upload links on my site for user to access my site, the only way I could imagine it getting corrupted would be from the host, qsl.net.

Hi,

Yes, some hubs are still very active.  I belong to the following 4, "Oldtymeradioman (first hub I joined), OTRhub, PhilsPlace (both OTRhub and Philsplace are owned by "Wildbill") and finally DooDropInn (by far the largest Hub I'm in).  I sign in as KO6BB, and am usually on 24/7 (not right now though) as I collect OTR, OLD Movies, OLD music, OLD comics and so forth and usually have around 66TB in my share.

Jim Jones,

I used to connect to Phil's Place. There were also hubs for comic books and pulp magazines. It's been ages since I've connected to one. How does someone request a user name and password?

Thanks,
Jeff Keil
