New Server(s) Appeal

The seizure of the hard drives in London shut down an Indymedia radio station and around 20 different Indymedia websites from Ambazonia to the U.K. Thousands of individuals who posted hundreds of thousands of articles on these web sites suddenly found their voices silenced by an unknown hand.

This experience shows that more servers are needed. The ideal would be to have all data distributed on different servers all over the world - If you have broadband, 8 gigabites of disk space and are prepared to mirror our site please email and we will take you through the process.

After the FBI raid, a number of Web servers have been offered to the UK site and are already in use. Our immediete aim is therefore to build a database server to take the load off the existing one. The currect database, or 'publishing server' for the UK and other Indymedias is often overloaded, especially when uploading media. Scores of people give up in frustration when publishing unsuccessfully time and again.

If we can raise a few thousand pounds we can get a very fast machine on a fast connection. This will make the UK site work a lot better. In addition it will enable us to help Indymedia sites in other parts of the world.

We will not be silenced again — sign the solidarity statment!

If you can only afford a one off donation you can use PayPal is quick and easy, but please note that they take a 4 or 5 percent take off.

So if you can donate using your bank's Internet Banking service, or plain old pen and paper, that would make the donation go a lot further.
