Sunlover has posted the following message over on the BN concert trading forum regarding a bandwith issue with the Jokelben server
"Users have been reporting that they are unable to access the Jokelben 2.0 server, hosted on pcloud. I checked into the issue and discovered that the excessive bandwidth limitation kicked in. I get 2 TB per month of download traffic. Over the past week, it peaked at 1.7 TB with 91k downloads. Previously, the weekly download bandwidth ranged from 20GB to 400GB. I have no way of knowing what specific shows or files have been downloaded during any time range. At 91k files downloaded over a couple days, that is the equivalent of downloading the entire server four times.
The included graphic shows 593 GB downloaded on Dec 16 and 534 GB on Dec 19. As you can see, this was a very unusual occurrence as most daily download traffic ranges from 10 GB to 60 GB or so.
A question came up if Jokelben is now behind a paywall. The Jokelben server will always be free to access. There is no paywall that you have to go through. If you already have a pcloud account at Premium or Premium Plus, you should be able to access the Jokelben server with no issues.
I don't know when the monthly bandwidth limit will reset. It may be on or around the 16th of each month. For now, you can still download audio files of recent shows on the FTP site mentioned here on the BN Concert Trading Forum. Videos are not available on the FTP site.
Again I apologize for the limitation and ask for your patience during this time. Hopefully, it will reset soon."
