PunkDownload.com - New file hosting server for APN

Anarcho-Punk.net · Apr 27, 2020

Back in 2013, we teamed up with 3 other punk forums to create our own server serving as a reliable web hosting solution for the music album downloads shared by the members of the forums Anarcho-Punk.net and Pirate-Punk.net and two other online communities.

Today, this server is hosting over 10,000 music album downloads available for free, making it the largest online collection of underground punk music. By making all this music available in one convenient place, we help punks from all over the world to discover new bands.

Now that this platform has proven itself, the programmers of the tech team have completely redone and improved it to better integrate into the forum. It also got its own website at PunkDownload.com

AUTOMATED UPLOAD

Exclusive to APN: 1-click album upload with automated copy of the tracks list to be posted on the forum.
Just select the ZIP file to upload, and our system will automatically extract the tracks list with titles and cover images. The download link is automatically copied to the forum with the album info, without having to manually type the text.

Members who regularly share albums are encouraged to use this new system which has many advantages over traditional file hosting services.

The advantages of self-hosting vs Mediafire
No more dead links! Files are never deleted, so the download links never expire
No annoying commercial advertisement
No paid subscription bullsh*t
No waiting times or any limitations
Ultra-fast download - no speed limit
Security & Privacy Guarantee
Unique platform with custom made features
Made by punks, for punks - f*ck big businesses!
The only rule: Please avoid mainstream bands released on corporate record labels - and no dodgy bands. This platform is intended for underground music.

HOW TO GET ACCESS?

Members who upload at least 10 albums to the forum automatically gain access to the server. New members can also request access by providing examples of the albums they wish to upload. Uploaders get a special banner and red shadow under around their usernames.

To upload a file, just create a new thread on the forum, and the upload form will be displayed on the page.

INTEGRATED MP3 PLAYER

The forum now has its own MP3 player which allows you to listen to an album in streaming without having to download the file. You can also use the player on mobile phones.

ALBUM COVER IMAGES

The album cover images are now displayed directly on the forum (the system gets the image in the ZIP). Thumbnails are also visible in the discussion list and on the search results page.

OTHER UPDATES
All dead links are back online (files hosted by APN)
Improved albums suggestions at the bottom of the download page
Old downloads published in the last 10 years have been updated retroactively
Improved download speed
Search Engine Optimization
Fixed many bugs in the forums

HOW THIS IS MADE POSSIBLE

Obviously, there are monthly web server bills associated with hosting several terabytes of music. All our servers and web development is funded by the activist cooperative No Gods No Masters. This is what has allowed this community to survive for 12 years, and to have a dedicated tech team creating exclusive features such as this 100% custom designed download system.

The new system is being tested extensively by the members of Pirate-Punk.net ... a few bugs have been reported and the dev team is working on an update as we speak. A lot of time is being invested in this new platform (2 months of work) to make sure it's stable so we can use it for the next 10 years or so.

We also have another major news announcement coming soon. This website is about to become even more awesome. Can't wait to share the details with you guys
