Thanks martin for all the work over the years. I would hate to see the domain fall into a resellers hands. If you want to offer it up for transfer, I'm sure myself or nearly onyone here would gladly take it over. I for one would rather it point to the WC section here at XS than watch it go to a reseller out to make a quick buck.

Good call Martin

Cheers.

Thanks Martin!

Martin, I understand your desire to not continue the reviews or funding the website. I understand it more than is apparent. (If you would like to hear my reasoning feel free to pm) Anyone that is willing to pay the hosting fees feel free to pm me for donations.

Thanks guys!

I think I'm just going to park the domain 12/26 to a simple linking page. I'll be a blank page with links to Skinnee's site, the forums, mirrors of the data, and some thank you links to the past sponsors...nothing fancy though.

I think that should take care of the domain issue, and if you start you're own testing site, I'll link to that too...

Sad to hear this day has come, but we all knew it would. Martin, is it ok to take down the test site you set up on my server?

Once again thanks for your dedicated work!

[Movieman]

If you want to transfer the domain out let me know, I'll take it over and forward it to the WC section here at XS. It won't cost you a dime.

I have an odd 8GB w/ 800GB monthly transfer of which I use about 0,01% if you need a mirror.
I'll upload it there anyway, would be good to have a list of mirrors to make sure it stays up ^^

I grabbed a copy of the zip file just incase as well, this shouldn't be lost in any circumstances Not that I can host it, but I can keep it and give it to someone to host if need arrises

[rintamarotta]

Grapped zip file, and putting up to my host

Thanks martin from nice reviews

[Bobly]

And another mirror to add to the list :P:
http://www.bobly.info/MartinsLiquidLab/

[Xilikon]

Grabbed the zip file as well. I won't host a mirror since there is already a lot so I'll just keep it on my file server as backup and for my own reference if the need arise.

[W1zzard]

added a permanent mirror:

http://www.techpowerup.com/MartinsLiquidLab/

if anyone wants to point martin's domain to it, feel free to do so.

martin, should you ever be looking for a reviewer position (or similar) in the hardware media scene, let me know any time.

thanks for doing such a great service to the community

[orclev]

Can someone post a mirror of the zip file, I want to grab a copy as well, but I don't want to hammer Martins bandwidth which is probably already a bit on the low side from everyone already downloading the zip.

And Martin, thanks for all your great contributions, you're one of the top reasons I hang out on here and I consider you to be one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met when it comes to liquid cooling.

I hope that you'll still be hanging around on here and posting from time to time even if you aren't doing testing anymore.

[eva2000]

Ok, you've convinced me to leave it up for a bit longer. I didn't really think it was worth it, but back by popular demand....

I'll leave the site up until it expires....feel free to copy whatever you want from it, and feel free to mirror or redistribute later however you feel fit.

I consider the data public information, it's not mine, it's everyone's.

Sorry for the hassle, but I'll leave it up until the domain finally expires on 12/26. I'm not planning to do anymore testing, and the site will close, so if you like something, please grab a copy.

Hope this helps:

Happy Halloween!

Make sure you take the kids out and fill them full of candy..cheers

Sad to hear Martin - I enjoyed your testing and it would be a shame to see such valuable information disappear so thank's for allowing us to put up mirrors

Was the cost (and time) the reason you decided to end the site/domain ?

When looking through your site files i noticed they were pretty bloated with white space so I ran your files through tidy.exe and reduced each file to 40-50% of their original size as well as optimised header image file so running with these files you should save 40-50% bandwidth consumption and even 90% bandwidth reduction if you have mod_deflate/gzip enabled web server. So if you decide to continue with the site or leave it till it expires, uploading the optimised files will save you bandwidth costs anyway

Also made header url link a relative url so no matter which domain hosts the file (mirrors), it will click and lead to right home page rather than hardcoded domain name.

so for orclev, Martin and others here's the files

original Martin set
http://martinsliquidlab.i4memory.com...b_original.zip

optimised file/header set for 50+% bandwidth reduction
http://martinsliquidlab.i4memory.com...id-fullopt.zip

Here's my mirror serving the optimised file/header set with server side gzip compression enabled for a further 25% reduction i.e. front page 40kb original vs 9.5kb optimised

http://martinsliquidlab.i4memory.com/

Only just setup subdomain so if it ain't resolving properly wait another 24-48hrs
