Hiyas leszek,

hopefully by the end of January I will have the ubuntu server installed on
my friends dedicated server. If traffic on blip.tv is an issue, then I will
transfer them over to the new server. I'm also sure that I have video
conversion program on piglet if flv is causing people problems.

Regards,
Phill.
