A shame about FileFront, it was a really useful, if slow and problematic, site

This is bad. So many nice companies that goes down due to the financial crisis.

Iam defently gona start to use Subsims services instead. Hey i might even gona make an donation to support Sailor Steve and Neil to thier site. :salute:

You'll pardon me if *I* don't shed any tears over FF's demise. Considering the oaths I swore at them after they deleted ALL my files, and in the middle of my having to deal with no Internet access due to Hurricane Gustav, it's a wonder they lasted this long!! :haha:

EDIT: I just realized something. I got the news today, and it's my birthday!! What a great present!!!:woot::woot::woot:

(yes, I know it's not for those who have to find new hosting and all, but when it comes to FF, to quote Eric Cartman, "I hate those guys. I really really hate those guys.")

Questions for Neal:

Is there a size limit on files, or more accurately, how much space an individual can use?

Is there a limit on the number of files, regardless of size?

I have all my stuff on BtS-Mods.com right now. I wouldn't mind a second site, or even just moving everything here instead.

Dang, to bad about FileFront..

Yah to SubSim, I will start my donations ASAP..

Many Thanks to all the SubSim Staff !!

Hey guys, get a hold of Neal to get your mods loaded here at SS. :yeah:

We do not have a file size limit, but anything over 30MB needs to be uploaded with FTP. We can set up an account for that. If anyone has over 1GB of mods, we can set up another account.

Number of files is not limited. However, if someone has 100 custom missions, for example, we would ask them to include them in one zip file and offer them as a "mission pack". This cuts down on the clutter and makes it 100x easier for the player to download 100 files :salute:

If you have 100 mods, for example, and they are all small files, it might be a good idea to package them as a combination mod.

If you have 20 different mods, some big, some small, then it would make more sense to upload and list them all separately.

Anyone who wants to begin uploading their mods, simply PM me.

Neal

Also so uk people ie on BT broadband are buggered because an error either occured or your d/loading a file according to them i have been d/loding this file since 2007

I've got about 46 GBs of stuff.

Stuff that's over 500 MB I have in 256 MB parts. All but one radio station is in parts. In a way it makes downloading easier because you can download some parts now, some later, instead of one huge file. If I were to upload here, would you prefer everything in one file? Larger parts?

rapidshare got this point system, you can upload for free as an a collector account.. and everytime someone downloads your file youll get 1 point or 2 points maybe and when you got 10k points i think youll get a premium account.. but that 10k points sooo damn many..

Sorry, Carotio ...
I did not like the form of new site pages ... i like our old forms ... :hmmm:

Filefront to cease operations march 30th
 

If you have mods there, back them up and spread the word. There is a small percentage who believe this to be an april fools joke of massive proporitons. Considering the ripples caused and the fact that there is other collaberating evidence and the lack of leeks about the joke suggest to me it is not a joke. Please make sure this gets passed on. I've posted at the fotrs forum, if any german speakers can help that'd be great. I can't even be sure my topic is in the correct place because I can't read an ounce of german.

I am a 6.5 year site admin at bcfiles.com, so I do have sources, and it seems to be the real deal.

*looks at the safe and clutches the key around his neck* :salute:

I don't think it is an April fools joke. they have already deleted many of my mods without consulting me. I've been with them for 3 years without a hitch. Last month all hell breaks loose. Worst off I get no answer and then they finally try to blame me that I didn't unchecked the scheduled files for deletion. Load of horse manure. I check my files regularly onsite. It was an excuse to hide the real issue that they are loosing there support and systematically shutting down there servers..

Anyhow I'll support subsim.com and bts-mod.com. People here are more reliable than rapidshare or megaupload. :D

I download from Rapidshare alot, beats me why hardly any here use rapidshare its a good place to upload/DL files lets you use a download manager as well. Thing that use to annoy me with Filefront is it wouldn't let me use IDM (internet download manager) so i would have to download using the browser one which is much slower.

lol, how can anyone think its a joke when the website posted a closing notice on its own support pages!

thats why i put the link in my post just in case someone needed to see it to believe it. (just like i did)

and you can trust the fact that neal wouldnt be posting it on the main download page if it wasnt 1000% verified as true.
