Filefront is closing !

[fred8615]

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!!

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

(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.

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

previous post retracted.

Competition won't hurt, hoorah.


P.S. BtS-Mods.com is hosted out of my own generosity, never will I ever charge for mods...ever... I get paid on the 1st and 15th of ever month, keeping my site up is not a problem in our current state. Renovation plans are in the works. Nice initiative subsim....

Game on.

Can a new thread be started and everyone that has mods at FF post links so we can go thru them?

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

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.

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?
