I prefer to write everything to some 3.5" floppy disks and just mail them to each other whenever you need them.

Accountability people...Accountability!

Which reminds me: WHY NOT USE UHC COMPRESSOR UTILITY???!!!
IT COULD MAKE 200MB'S AROUND 10 MEGS!

Is there a reason why they can't be uploaded to this site? in the downloads section?

Seems the obvious way to go to me

This was done when the original GW was released. Neal's bandwidth went through the roof and so did his bandwidth charges.

Judging by the huge amount of downloads of GWX in only the first couple of months since release, I would rather save on Neal's bandwidth and keep Subsim. It's not cheap running this for us.

Free file hosts are the way to go and GWX had many more locations to d/l from than GW did. Kudos to the uploaders who spent hours online to get as many mirros as possible.

Now if anyone has a premium membership with the likes of Rapidshare then you would be more than welcome to mirror the files.

But as many have said, GWX is free & the work has been done for free. The dev's have given up their time to bring this to us, I for one do not want them to give up any cash to host the files.

You can get past the download limit by switching your router off and on, asuming your not on a fixed ip...

Sneaky huh

I'd love to respond there mate but manners and political correctness prevent me
Just one of many thoughts.....Your ISP has and does exercise their right to monitor/log all account traffic

The team has done a good job of spacing the downloads to all coners of the world, so all members can access the files. Some members carry the links in there sigs, while others place them on the web sites.

For me "Filefront" is my choice of upload & download site. It dosn't have time limits for hosting and the setup is user friendly.

I'm not a fan of Rapid Shi#, because alot of the old mods (still awsome) where hosted on this site, and are now dead.
