Filefront is still there. I just downloaded a printable GWX Rec Manual from a link kindly provided by danlisa.

You could always use Beyond The Shadows, bts-mods.com, for your file-hosting. Unlimited storage space, your files are never deleted unless you want them to be, and your own personal forum section to discuss your work.
Not bad for something that is totally FREE!

I use FileFront for the throw-away stuff that I don't care if it gets deleted. I keep my really important mod files at Beyond the Shadows!

Ja i agree with natilus.I can not download nothing either from filefront,maybe tomorrow it will be running.

Jimbuna · 07-01-09, 06:23 AM

Gotta agree with all of the above but solely in reference to FF......log in then click on your username in the top right corner and you will be directed to your files.

Please be advised, the layout has been totally revamped (for the worse IMO).

I getting loads of problems too

Their site looks totally different. Must have been closed for maintenance what you guys experienced. All my files are still there, they just seem to be jumbled all together in a single place. No neat folder structure that I once had. So mabe that's why some links are dead recently.

p.s. I noticed their url structure also changed.

It used to be:

http://hosted.filefront.com/user_name/

But it's now:

http://www.filefront.com/user/user_name

Maybe Neal can let loose some kind of script on the forum that fixes all those links in one go.

Sag75 · 07-01-09, 07:04 PM

this doesn't work anyway,

our Betasom page now is http://www.filefront.com/user/Betasom

But, when I click on that as unlogged user I'm adressed on: wwwnew.filefront.com

rs77 · 07-02-09, 08:11 AM

generally speaking.. I have impression that a lot of modders work is lost and not available to community due to filefront disadvantages (lot of failures lately, deleting files etc.)

maybe it should be pointed out more precisely on this forum that uploading to FF is not recommended ?

well it's just noob's idea

Not me, I see 2 files (guida al Puntam. Manuale inSH3, metodo per rotta intercet. ) when I click on the link, not being logged on anymore.

Sag75 · 07-02-09, 12:53 PM

ok, thanks for reporting!

anyway, Filefront removed a lot of our files from there w/o any reason!

Pisces · 07-02-09, 03:11 PM

Yes, they did aswel with some of my files some time ago. But I don't think every failing link is because of that. Alot of websites reorganise their site layout with resulting in broken links. In my opinion Microsoft is still in the lead doing this to old support topics. Filefront is not making friends with me this way, but they should be giving some lee-way in their reorganisation process.

HW3 · 07-02-09, 09:28 PM

I just went to http://www.filefront.com/user/Betasom and downloaded "guida al Puntam. Manuale inSH3" so they must be getting the file links organised.

sharkbit · 07-02-09, 09:48 PM

Just D/L'd Lutzow's latest music mod from there-no problems.

Sag75 · 07-03-09, 12:03 AM

yes! now it's working also for me!

If any of you want alternative mod hosting, you're also welcome in Silent Hunter Mods Forum

Also completely free (no donations demanded), it's multi-language, the downloads are fast and resumable and the url has the right name...
