Myairbridge.com is a terrible download free service in short, it sucks.

I am helping a small film festival in Toronto Canada by downloading submissions they intend to screen for their festival this summer onto a 1Terabyte portable hard drive, but first downloading to my laptop hard drive. There are only a few free services available to small independent filmmakers and student filmmakers on shoe string bugets. WeTransfer and Dropbox offer up to two gigs free. Google Drive on the other hand is free up to 15 gigs. and Myairbridge.com 20 gigs free. I have use all the free services from various filmmakers around the world. Most of the films I am download are between 8 and 12 gigs, some are compressed. For large files up to 12 gigs Google Drive is the best, takes 10 minutes to download. I just happen to have fairly fast internet package at 95 Mbps. I also have a 1T Dropbox account. another fast service. 1T accounts cost $120 Canadian, but are worth it. WeTransfer is OK if the file is under one megabyte. Myairbridge.com is the worst, as it uses your

Remember Gay Toronto's St. Charles Tavern

By Michael F. Paré ...Xtra.ca reporter Michael Pihach (pronounced pee-ack) attends the one year anniversary party Sunday, February 15, 2009 at Gladaman's Den, 502A Yonge Street. I haven't been to Gladaman's yet, but do recognize many of the faces in the video. I had 28 yr old boyfriend, back in 1991 (killed in car accident 10 years later) that lived on the top floor of 502 yonge St., when it was called Sneakers, it was more of a crack den, then a gay bar, where young male hustlers (rent boys) hung out looking for a sugar daddys, it later became Pinocchio's. George Hislop, a Toronto gay politico, and few other queer closeted lawyers, like Stewart McEwan hung out at Sneakers, but then George loved the young male hustlers, a fact not well known or reported in the press. Hislop died, October 8, 2005 at age 78. Pilhach chats with some of Toronto female impersonators Madam's Fontaine and Madam Michelle DuBarry both respected Queens, about the St. Charles Tavern (488 Yonge

Trax's V a long gone Toronto gay bar

A table coaster from Trax's.....I miss the rough trade bar Trax's at 529 Yonge St (At Breadalbane, one below Wellesley On the outer edges of the Church and Wellesley-centred gay village) Trax was haunted. Literally and figuratively. A former children's funeral parlour, if you can believe it. It never shook the reputation, or the air. It did have two split-level decks out back that had a good Sunday tea dance, but no one willingly hung out in the front section, with it's chapel-like coffered ceiling and it's large gothic windows. Funeral parlour, bah humbug I hung out there a lot, 80's early 90s, it had a assortment of regulars; hustlers, drunks, blowhards, windbags, the Spearhead crowd in chaps and leather and a front bartender named Trixie, use to make me wonderful Alabama Slammers. James Stephenson (otherwise known as Trixie) Sadly he passed away from a heart attack a few years ago he was likely late 40’s. I learned today. He was quite char
