Gameflood problems

[smjjames]

Maybe we can use a dedicated BitTorrent for stuff like that, although once the mass download rush slows down, gameflood should start working again.

Either we need to find a different primary file host or we can use bittorrent as a backup for the first couple days.

@xienwolf: Maybe Kael can post the MD5-checksum of the installer. Here is a simple MD5 sum checker: click

Downloading from Filefront for now (thanks for uploading it there!), when I get a copy I'll post an MD5 in the Proper Installation guide. I have all 3 download options linked in there (the 2 non-officials are linked at the bottom of the first post though, as will be the MD5 later)

Again, you guys could use the host from FileFront that I posted on page 2&3 if you're worried about bad torrents.

 

[Rhymes]

I'll try uploading it to FileFront if no one else does.

Edit1: Ok, i'll try...just testing out the install then I'll try uploading mine.

Edit2: Ok..uploading at 360-433kbps...~2 hours =\
I'll go out for a coffee and check back in an hour.

Edit3: Good news is that my upload is still going with only 50mins left.

Edit4: Done

I'm using the same bittorrent that everybody else is using though, and it seems ok. I understand why you would be worried though.

I would use Filefront, but I'm over 68% with torrent, although the ETA shot up to an hour . It seems to be uploading more of it back up than downloading in atm. Still, I started already, so why scrap the progress it has.

FFH could be distributed via a professional site like sourceforge, i wonder gameflood cant handle that, the worst is they're just putting a 404 on that page and thats it.

 

[Kael]

Sorry about the chaos, Ive been at work all day and just got back. Im uploading to 3dgamers rihgt now. Once thats done I'll switch the link.

 

[The Doc]

My MD5 Sum is: e9c42ca4652dc4456df9ffdbcaf5b624
File installed flawlessly, so I guess it's the right one.

I'm also downloading from filefront. Many thanks to all members of the community working on this problem and especially big thanks to those who have sacrificed time they could have spent playing FFH to help others who were not so lucky.

Actually I'd love it if the mod were done through an SVN on Sourceforge, then patches could be small tweaks and whatnot fairly easily. Quite fond of SVNs since i started using them a little while ago.

Yeah, me too. Getting incremental changes on the SDK after each patch would be another benefit.

Howabout we solve the issue of multiple corrupted torrents by only making one single official one, uploaded by Kael? Or someone else from the team?

 

[Squirm]

Good work on pulling together a torrent. Gonna seed for a good long while.

 

[AOLBITES]

Thanks for the torrent, I would Highly recommend a official Torrent distribution by the team for future releases!

I've got some upload cap space left on my webserver this month to burn. Get it while it's hot cuz this link will be broken at the end of the month.

thanks a ton for the torrent. I wonder how many other mods need a torrent to make sure there's enough to go around...

and out of curiosity I think it would be interesting if someone made a poll to see how people downloaded .32: Gameflood, Torrent, FileFront, IM/PM, Personal Server, "Didn't have to--I made it"

 

[Rudenut]

The solution I found was using a download manager. The one I use is http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

Thanks for the torrent guys, was able to get it from there.

Thank you all for the Torrent! Phunk is my hero!!

Not sure if the counters work (I imagine there will be some false starts) but the counter for this Torrent reads 371, Gameflood 688.

A thousand plus down loads on the first day (less than a full day - 15 hours?) - that's pretty amazing!

The Team should definetly put this on their CVs.

Oh lord! I am hooked - I capitalized the T in Team.
