Unfortunately, the site can't handle too much load, so we can't really hammer it very hard, expect strict rate limiting. Items are up to hundreds of megabytes in size.{{howcanihelp|ZippCast|zippcast-grab}}

ZippCast was a video sharing service, started in 2009.[1] On May 31, 2016 Louis Gualtieri (owner) decided to shut the site down on June 5, 2016, due to financial and personal reasons.[2]

The service was interrupted on June 10, 2016.

Shutdown

Shutdown notice:[2]

I am shutting the project down. It has been expressed by many users that the website has a untrustworthy track record and that I cannot be trusted. I have spent well over 60,000 of my personal money into this over the last two years and countless time away from my own family. Then I have to accept statements made by various users. It is taking a personal toll on myself and its led me to stay away from the community as a whole. I do not wish to damage things any further and that is the reason for my decision. I have had a team leave me in the dust and make false accusations. A team that never did anything to help the technical or financial aspect of the project. I cannot carry it any further. It is with a heavy heart to announce the shutdown date. 06/05/2016. On this date the servers will be shutdown and the website will be inaccessible.
