Project Download - A click a day saves a life

[Lord Iames Osari]

There's a woman named Erin, 29 years old, who has two neurological disorders requiring 2-4 surgical procedures to cure. She's unemployed, uninsured, and isn't covered by Medicaid, so she can't pay for them herself.

But there is a way you can help! By going to her website (http://projecterin.com/index.html) and downloading a safe, small text file from megauploads.com every day, you can help her win $10,000 and pay for her surgeries.

So help out a woman in need - just point and click! :smallsmile:

I cant find what part we download it from. Little help?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Go to her website, then look down and to your left. The green sidebar turns blue, and it says, in big white letters: "Download the file here," followed by three links - a primary one, plus two mirrors.

Sweet, I was going to make a thread about this, but kinda gave up hope. :(

I'm glad the word is spreading though. *goes to click*

[Lord Iames Osari]

There is always hope.

That is a rather nifty way of earning money for something like that...
Too little time used to even care if it really is a scam or not. At least someone who tried is getting it. :smallsmile:

They only problem is that she is way off her goal. 5 million downloads? The NaNoWriMo site got under 140,000 hits on Nov first, and they are streaming a lot more interest. :smallfrown:

Yeah... That's why I posted this thread and incorporated a link into my sig.

I think she would of gotten a lot more interest if she appealed to the internet's general interests. Humanity ain't really the top seller.

To enter the site of lolcats you must download this safe file? Sexy, naked lolcats? *shudders*

"Your download manager may be configured incorrectly - please check your settings."

That's what I get when I try to download from any of the links (using firefox). Anyone know how to fix that?

[phoenixineohp]

That's what I am getting today too... and I know mine is fine. :smalleek:

[Ceska]

I get the same. I wonder if the day has already passed though.

[Ashtar]

I sent a mail to Erin and now it's fixed, you can DL the file.

I'm sceptical about the 5 mio DLs = 10k$... especially as it's hotlinked and thus not driving any traffic to their site. But hey, if it works, it would be great for her.

It's a good cause, I'm going to put it in my Daily webpage folder.
