Oh man, that sucks. Filefront actually keeps track of your downloads, Megaupload doesn't. I just use it as an alternate site for that reason. Anyone know of any other good uploading sites?

Flintlock1415 · Mar 25, 2009, 08:44 PM

Atomic Gamer does the trick for me.

Ajidica · Mar 25, 2009, 08:48 PM

Darn, I liked filefront, no unending wait times saying that you have to try again in 2 minutes, again, again, ect. Nice dl speed to with lots of space for your stuff.

strategyonly · Mar 26, 2009, 04:11 AM

Anyone know of a good place that at a minimum host 1GB and not less?? Atomic Gamer only has 500MG, and FileFactory only 300 MG??

phungus420 · Mar 26, 2009, 04:33 AM

Megaupload is the only one I can find. The problem I have with them is that they don't keep track of your traffic though. I need to see that # of downloads so my ego gets stroked...

Anyone know of any other sites other then Megaupload that can host 1GB files?

Invoke_Shadows · Mar 26, 2009, 05:13 AM

torrent sites can setup a torrent it not hard to do. or if most used usenet it be best way to go upload files to news servers but then people have have access to a news server to download your mods but honestly news servers are cheaper then using something like megaupload or rapidshare,

like giganews you can get unlimited downloading uploading ect for 24.99 a month and they have 231 days binary news server retention witch soon they say will be upgraded to 365 days

last but not least few you could band together and buy a site host own files,can't you host files on fileplanet they have a lot mods.

strategyonly · Mar 26, 2009, 08:22 AM

Ones that are free are better, and Mega only holds your file for 90 days from the last d/l, and its like trying to figure out Chemistry trying to find out how to use Mega for ujploading?.

Somebody has got to have a better solution.

Ajidica · Mar 26, 2009, 09:07 AM

Don't know of any gig+ sites besides the above megaupload, but I really don't like Megeupload because they ditch your stuff after a month or so. As to dl number, doesnt CFC keep track of dl's? At the very least it tracks how many poeple click on the dl link for your mod.

phungus420 · Mar 26, 2009, 09:16 AM

Well, I probably only need 400-500MB, at least the last version of my mod was 397Megs, but the next will be a little larger. I seriously doubt it will go over 500 though, ever.

. I really like seeing how many downloads have been. Also, i really like FileFront, cause its free and has no upload limit. The last incarnation of the MechaMod was 309 Mb, and since i'm almost done, i dont think i can pierce 500mb, but still...

Like i said that will really HINDER my mod, cause right now i am close to 2GB of d/l.
Guess i am going to have to restart from the beginning again and only make it
half-a_ _ ed, its a shame.

Going to have to make all static LHs and wonders, dang.

Less units per civ

less civs

the list goes on.

phungus420 · Mar 26, 2009, 11:53 AM

Have you tried packing your art into a .fpk? That halves the size of WolfRev (and also makes your mod load faster when you start the game).

xmen510 · Mar 26, 2009, 11:59 AM

You could split it up. Have the Leaderheads and other Art as separate downloads that you just extract to the Core Mod folder.

Almost all of my art is in there already(fpk), thats just how BIG it really is, i guess all those that want 148 civs better download it fast, cause like it says FileFront is out of business 30 Mar 09. Thats just till Monday, so i guess Sunday will be it.

smeagolheart · Mar 26, 2009, 01:15 PM

Rapidshare maybe?

GoodGame · Mar 26, 2009, 01:19 PM

I agree, i guess i will have to do that, but then i will have to have an UnLoaded Modules and a Loaded modules section, and alot of people dont like that.
